Prophecy fulfilled, sort of:

“This is not a policy of the ministry and the person concerned was told to revert back the decision as soon as the ministry was informed with the situation. The person excused herself. The volunteers were given reassurances by the ministry”.

Mallia’s actions are definitely backfiring, with a only a few futile attempts from blind followers trying to excuse his actions on the timesofmalta.com comments board:

No this is going to be another testing of the waters. They backtrack if the opposition is too great and then say that they listen to the people so are better than the PN. And the stupid Maltese believe. They don’t stop to think, hold on, should the government have issued this policy in the first place.

Give me a liberal and I will a bigotted idiot. And trust me, I know what I am talking about. Unfortunately I know too many of them. And they’re all originally from the ninth and tenth district.

It was meant to make us believe how liberal and progressive Labour had become.

As for politicising the situation: every interaction between two individuals or groups is a political one partcularly when there is an imbalance of power between them.

I agree with you, Edward. They are buying time, and I wouldn’t be surprised that if it weren’t for this http://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2013/07/sorry-my-dears-but-the-minister-for-the-far-right-says-that-youre-not-allowed-to-give-things-to-black-children-in-camps/ the person concerned wouldn’t even have been contacted yet.

No. It isn’t just you. You forget that we’re talking about an old fart who doesn’t quite understand the world he’s living in.

Remember that the Commissioner of Police had offered catering service for the Girgenti dinner and Manuel Mallia did know anything about the arrangements until the very last minute. There is always a way out.
