As regular readers of this website will know, this photograph was taken at Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando’s home on Sunday, 10 March. He is shown celebrating the Labour victory with Dominic Micallef (the owner of Tattingers nightclub who applied for a permit on Jeffrey’s land at Mistra), Ivan Portelli (a police officer who was dismissed by the Police Commissioner, along with David Gatt, now facing trial for involvement in a bank robbery, because of suspected shady behaviour), Andy Ellul (policeman turned lawyer), his brother John Ellul (formerly of the Police Forensic Unit; flew to Singapore with Magistrate Consuelo Herrera on a ‘magisterial inquiry’), their sister Sharon Ellul Bonici (failed Labour MEP candidate), and life insurance salesman Matthew Pace.

Matthew Pace is the one squatting and holding the Partit Laburista flag.

Today, the government announced the new members of the Malta Environment and Planning Authority, and Pace – who until four or five years ago was selling life insurance with Global Capital but has since gone into partnership with others in a financial services company that has been rapped and fine by the Malta Financial Services Authority, is one of them.

Given that Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando and Dominic Micallef, both pictured here with this new MEPA board member, fully intend to press on with their plans for Mistra, this photograph should be a timely warning.

    Is that green bottle on the table on the right of the photo Earl Grey?

    Did someone recently mention the word ‘klikka’?

    As someone had said somewhere “It’s deja vu all over again”.

    New faces, old Labour.

    A mix of dubious characters, losers and opportunists, riding on the backs of the spiteful, the ignorant, and the gullible, unchanged over half a century.

    Twenty-four days in power. Sadder and scarier every day.

    Interesting about Matthew Pace.

    That explains why all the attention was on BOV and not on MFSP his Company.

    Except for an article that appeared in this week’s paper, I believe, that spoke about the issues facing a particular Dutch Bank and the enormous amounts of money that was lost. Money which apparently MFSP were actively advising their clients to invest in. Money that their clients have now lost.

    Is he, perchance, expecting the MFSA to retract the fine, now that Malta kollha taghhom

    Matthew Pace went to school at St Aloysius College. I would love him to show the world his Form 2 school report. Believe me, if we were to take Franky Tabone’s line of thinking, Pace would rank no. 30 (from a class of 30) to merit such an appointment.

    Twenty years later and I’m sure Pace still ranks no. 30. Just ask the people who have lost a fortune through doing business with his company.

    Meritocracy at its best.
