Perhaps he was busy playing with his collection of Faberge eggs
Manuel Mallia picks up a trick from Saddam Hussein and engages the services of a doppelganger to mislead those who have it in for him.
The Minister for the Police, Manuel Mallia, did not turn up to this morning’s commemoration of deceased police officers, held at the Addolorata Cemetery.
It was the first time in many years that the Minister for the Police did not bother going to this ceremony.
He sent his chief of staff, lighting supplies businessman Silvio ‘Do You Know Who I Am’ Scerri, in his chauffeur-driven ZER 088 personal car (for which he is paid an allowance) instead.
Yes, his chief of staff.
Were it not a grave insult to the respectable real thing, I would say that this really is an army of peasants. Protocol x’inhu, hija?
If the Minister for the Police was unable to attend because he had a subsequent engagement – lunch at Connie and Robert’s house, perhaps, or an excursion to Lidl for the ‘cheapest ever’ chicken legs, or just a morning in playing with his collection of Faberge eggs – then it is the ministry’s permanent secretary who should have gone instead, and not the chief of staff.
And what a chief of staff, too. All together now: DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?
But the reality is that Manuel Mallia didn’t bother going to the ceremony because he was relaxing in Gozo after his very trying time being persecuted by so many different people in so many different media.

What a fitting tribute to our boys in blue, eh, you Mallia groupies of the “Rightwing”?
Hey my friend, did you think he would pay tribute to a bunch of waiters?
I pay tribute to several waitresses, but that’s by the by.
Now we get the lame statement ‘With hindsight I would have acted differently’. U hallina Lel
The prime minister could not stand in for Manwel, as he spent a day on the boat of a newly appointed MMA board member, Pawlu, husband of the newly appointed Chairperson of another new committee. Landing in Mellieha in his swim trunks gave the game away that his gym sessions are not showing any positive results. On the contrary, he is getting rounder.
Was Charlon Gouder there ready with his mike and Super One cameras acting all shocked that the Prime Minister goes on the boat with business people?
So it is not OK to take a lift on a Maltese businessman’s jet but quite OK to have a day out with a Maltese businessman on his boat, after having appointed him to the Malta Maritime Authority.
Our country is going to the dogs.
It already has.
Mallia must have been fascinated by the film “I was Monty’s Double” or was it “I was a Maltese Double”, maybe it was “I was Manwel’s Double”, well you get the picture.
.. and a fine picture it was too.

Our country went to the DOGS the day of the elections.
I heard through the grapevine that Minister Mallia has banned camaraderie at the office. His staff can’t joke, literally. Can anyone confirm this?
Same on Manwel Mallia – goes to prove that power is going to their heads in a big big way and the majority of the people who voted PL are still living in cloud cuckooland. As long as they have money in their pockets, who cares about protocol, ethics, etc. etc.
