Then he can pull the full “Obama” by totally neglecting his job and spend his time on the green while his nation goes to hell in a handcart.

Aha, but Michelle, very much like our Alf, has only seen the musical, and believed the hype.

At least it covers all the wobbly bits we don’t want to see. When he slouches on his chair with trousers a size or two too small, he exposes to everyone things that nobody should have to observe.

I bow my head to you, Daphne. You seem to be much more knowledgeable than I am about Eva Peron .

We should have seen it coming – remember how she hopped into Castille before her husband on the day of his inauguration?

Fashion shows and tea parties with lots of pretence and very badly pronounced English whilst trying very hard to feel she fits in with the mummies at her kids’ school

Please, do not compare Michelle Muscat to Eva Peron. Women of Eva Peron’s generation owe a debt to her for “her example of passion and combativeness”. Definitely no comparison with Michelle.

[Daphne – I disagree with your assessment of Eva Peron, who was driven by hatred, bitterness, resentment, the desire to replace or eradicate ‘the wealthy oligarchy’ who made her feel inferior, and above all, by cupidity. She spent money like Croesus – on herself. She did nothing to improve the lives of the poor but got drunk on their adulation. And she used a man to get to the top, because she couldn’t become president herself, so she did the next best thing. She was a horrible woman. Read a couple of properly researched biographies. The musical is ‘faction’.]

She looks like the scullery maid. She can still get a glimpse of “the high society” when she’s lighting the fireplace, can’t she?
