I have been asked to be fair and supply “a more recent photo” of the new member of the Adoption Board

Published: August 2, 2013 at 4:34pm

…because apparently the one I used to break the news of Justine Scerri Herrera’s appointment to the Adoption Board was taken three or four years ago (which kind of proves the point of how unsuitable 22-year-olds are for approving the adoptions process, given that their perspective on time is is what it is, and they think that three or four years is a lifetime and “ages ago”).

So I am happy to oblige. Here’s a photograph taken this year of a 22-year-old law student, appointed to the Adoption Board – which deals in such serious matters – because her mother is Consuelo Herrera, a magistrate well networked with the Super One crowd, the police whose hat this girl borrowed for that earlier photograph, and the Labour Party, and visited at home at night by the current prime minister when he was Opposition leader, and her uncle is Jose Herrera.

If the young lady had any sense, she would have stayed out of it. She’s not going to get that advice from her no-boundaries mother.

Justine Scerri Herrera (centre) will now be vetting people to see whether they are suitable to adopt a child.

    Din ghadha tifla biex tkun fuq Board tal-Adoption u xejn izjed.

    Il Prim Ministru ghandu jiehu dan il kaz f’idejh u jaghti bezbieza lill Herrera li ghad jaghmel salt hmerijiet fil funzjoni tal-Ministeru tieghu.

    Mur ara wara xi lejl ta’ xallar, kif tqum filghodu u jkollha tiehu xi decisjoni fuq xi addozjoni……… u hallini sur Ministru tat-tahwid.

    As if knowledge and experience comes from her pose in a photo. Which ever photo we see, she’s still a 22 year old.

    Oh well, that’s okay then, my mind has been put to rest with this more recent photo. All the other things, like her age, her lack of qualifications, the weight of the decisions taken by this board? Not important.

  4. Mark says:

    Hmm, now you see that makes all the difference.

    I think she’d better learn how to take care of herself first!

    Veru li jridu qed jaghmlu. Ma jisthu min hadd. Wicchom u sormom l-istess. Min jaf kieku ghamlu dal-fares in-Nazzjonalisti, xi plejtu kienu jaghmlu tal-Lejber. U dan kollu wara biss hames xhur.

    How come Marie Louise Coleiro Preca earned € 39807 as principal with the education department? Wasn’t she studying law? Where did she get her qualifications in education from? This is very strange. Moreover, are principals paid such princely salaries? At which college did she work as principal earning that kind of money? Who is replacing her now?

    Here’s a well deserved break for all you gossip wizards. It’s not as boring as it looks, especially if you consider the effect it will have on your toenails and your economic well-being.

    (Incidentally, Christopher Monckton, a Viscount, is Lord Gerald Strckland’s grandson and descends from the Bonici-Mompalao line… Now that’s a slow ball for the smart-Alec wisecracks, so be original, please, no inanities. And respect the Lady of the House.)

      Was that you, ciccio? I told you to lay off the boiled eggs.

    • La Redoute says:

      The more immediate threat to our economic well-being was voted in by you and your lot, Kev.

      You’re an odd ball, with all your familja pulita pretentions. Maybe you should take off that tin-foil hat before it fries your brain.

  13. ciccio says:

    Do you think we can ask Consuelo Scerri Herrera if it is possible to adopt a policeman?

    I’d like to keep one as a catering pet.

    Not much of an improvement. Ciggie and cop’s hat missing, however, the glassy eyes are still there.

    Following in Mommie’s footsteps.
