Has the media sought to understand Michelle Muscat’s role at her husband’s office yet?

Our Marlene is a dentist with two or three dental clinics and she has a sizable portfolio of properties which need to have her personal and continuous management.

This goes contrary to the very principle of work and dignity. Are these the famous Labour principles in action?

Silly me for thinking work operates on the basis of a contract, with consideration and responsibility rolled into it?
Silly me for thinking that Ministries should be administered by paid professionals not family volunteers whether or not on a ‘part-time’ basis (how very crass).
Silly me for thinking the Government should lead by example.

Whoever’s ego was in demonstration, I’d say dignity at a number of points wasn’t a consideration:

Dignity of a Prime Minister’s role in making clear worthy choices;
Dignity of Marlene Farrugia’s position by her very unethical presence (was there really the expectation for them to couple-up here?);
Dignity of the Ministerial role of Godfrey Farrugia – this is now beyond tainted;
Dignity of public service staff who are forced to suffer the consequences of such decisions and work in such an environment;
Dignity of the value of work in the organisation;
The ripple effect.

‘Insignificant’ details such as these underline the difference between Labour and Nationalist governance.

Health is not only about medicine and diagnosis – or hindsight. It’s primarily, in its ideal form, the result of (generations of) sound choices and worthy values arrived at with the benefit of foresight.

Health of Government would run on the same basic principles.

What we have here in Malta is a Party come to power on a high of fads, bads, mads and fetishes, unleashing its inferiority complexes on a population that deserves far better. If addition, we are, in fact and deed, borderline with absolute power.

What we have here on this blog is a snake-oil artist’s worst nightmare: public exposure of the sham, every step of the way.

A snake-oil artist just hates being caught with his pants down and the spotlights glaring – the only other time that the eyes will change expression, turning into a glacial stare.

Look for it.

In other countries, where a sense of decency counts and prevails, any Minister, or person in a prominent position, receiving negative front page headlines for ten straight days in a row would be asked to resign.

I should like to ask Daphne and The Independent to take this little detail into account.

Why do I keep getting images of Monica Lewinsky after reading the above?

Me three. I feel “bed partner” is more accurate.

And Parnis can actually be useful in the Health sector. With the elderly for instance – like fishing their pills from their toilets.
He should be volunteering as an aide with Godfrey Farrugia.

Me too. Handcuffs at forty paces.

Maybe it’s time that Godfrey Farrugia resigns as well.
