In business, I was in close contact with a lot of Labour-types who constantly referred to him as Johnny Cash and would bombard me with stories of all his alleged misdeeds.

I still call him Johnny Cash because of this verbal onslaught.

Who’s have thunk how it would’ve turned out, eh?

Do you still remember the ‘I’m in’ Labour campaign? Many who signed are already in…in BOARDS CORPORATIONS, FOUNDATIONS, MINISTRIES.

And Dalli Is In Mater Dei Hospital, but not because of his assumed psycho-social trauma.

In reply to Ken.

As Konrad would say, ‘correct’. It was Dun Gorg Dalli, who was advised by his brother John to purchase thousands of Mid-Med shares.

This sort of thing must be in their DNA.

In reply to edgar. The rest of the Marlene Farrugia's clan must be very, very worried.

Sorry Daphne you are mistaken. John Dalli gained his nickname “Johnny Cash” when he was consultant at Daewoo. Former owner Joseph Mary Scicluna, who used to call himself a doctor, Chevalier, chief executive officer, chairman and several other titles, came up with the nickname because he said Dalli would only accept payment for his service in cash.

I am also sure that many people would still like to know what sort of business John Dalli was conducting in Libya. It was during that period October 2007 that John Dalli stood guarantor for his brother Bastjan for Lm1.45 million (€3.4 million approximately). In his effort to save his brother from financial ruin and by acquiring Mixer Ltd., John Dalli tried to avoid paying stamp duty and capital gains tax amounting to Lm250, 000 (approximately €575, 000). Judge presiding on the case saw through John Dalli’s dodgy manoeuvre and turned down his application. http://4th-one.blogspot.co.uk/

This deceitful politician cannot play by the rules. He is a master of dodgy manoeuvers. Yes, John Dalli still has to explain what sort of business he was conducting in Libya. Everyone knows now that his brother Bastjan was dealing in drugs/green soap.

Where is the road map that this Minister had bragged about before the March elections, the plans that he had prepared?

To bring in a 65-year-old freshly recovered “Psycho Social Exposure” patient to run a hospital isn’t exactly a fine way to solve the problem.

I guess the Labour media have also conveniently forgotten about the unsecured loan of millions of liri to Daewoo, which went belly-up soon after the loan was granted and which featured prominently on their headlines for years.
