Do you mean that section of bored upper class (compared to the ‘new Middle Class’) that organised the Norman Lowell parties years back and whose advertising was omnipresent on Malta Today during the election campaign?

My dream Maltese dinner party would consist of Daphne (of course), Harry (what else are friends for) and then we hit a wall. Antoine Camilleri’s dead. So is Charles Camilleri. I’d probably have to make do with Ira Losco for after-dinner japes. I’d have young Matthew Camilleri too although I’d end up feeling inadequate. Oh and Richard England for a bit of gravitas. I wouldn’t mind Nicholas de Piro too.

Baxxter, why don’t you just stand up straight and say it like you mean it. (sic)

HP, usually dream dinner-party guests aren’t people who make you want to slit your wrists or stick a fork in the nearest electric point.

You have summed up almost perfectly the political souls of Malta’s two main parties although I would change it slightly:

Catholic Labour (PN) and Nasserist Fascism (MLP)

Congratulations for picking that out.

Which is why he surrounds himself with the those he despises. He never got over the incident at BOV. Even because rumour has it he was let off when the investigation went beyond him.

That left him the scapegoat.

He walked into a restaurant in Birgu once, accompanied by one angry young man, tried to strike up conversation with a table full of youngsters.

All he managed was one of the girls shooing him off like she would a dog.

Whenever contradicted, his brain jerks. Not a good sign.

Delusional isn’t intelligent, just watch him struggling with ‘alta cultura’. Then there’s his vitiated reasoning, anything outside his limited knowledge renders him a spluttering imbecile.

‘Action painting’ on restricted canvas, small enough to take it all in at arm’s length betrays utter fear of the unkown.

I would say his character make-up is part Dalek, part Captain Birdseye and part Lionel Blair.

All I’m saying is that, on personality alone, Lowell is no worse than many of those of his countrymen who are considered perfectly respectable, or indeed virtuous.

Goes to show how Maltese society is disastrously incapable of weeding out the chaff.

The freaks have taken over. Why, we even had a string of them as prime ministers, with a few presidents thrown in for good measure.
