Here’s Joe Tanti, head of customer care (an iced-bun job for promoting Labour) in the office of the man who claims to lead Malta’s most progressive, liberal and feminist government ever, cracking a racist, redneck, misogynist ‘joke’ on Facebook, which is deeply disparaging of all women and all blacks, and an insult to civilised behaviour:

What did they do with all those “I’m in” hoddies (sic)? There must be a graveyard, somewhere, for Labour PR collateral, including those partnership mal-Ewropa flags, banners and tshirts.
Honestly, I wasn’t comfortable when I saw him among children at the Tal-Qroqq sports complex. He looked out of place and totally creepy.
Totally creepy is an understatment. Someone like him around there usually means bad news, especially if he was close to the showers.
He hasn’t popped up on Cecila Malmstrom’s Facebook page, but he’d fit right in with that sorry lot and their “nobody’s fool” rhetoric. We’re swamped by a mass of troglodytes, who are emboldened by a government that makes policy based on an inferiority complex.
Another immature nutter in office.
[Daphne – Immature nutter? He’s a pensioner, well over 60. That makes him an elderly pervert, or more simply, a dirty old man, not an immature nutter.]
He used to think he was something good at pop music journalism. I always thought he (ehum..)sucked at that.
Thank you. I knew he was above the 55 year mark. What I meant to say was psychologically immature of course.
About being an elderly pervert too, well I can imagine that from him.
According to his Facebook profile he was born on the 24 May 1959. He claims to have studied Diplomatic Studies at the University of Malta in 2008 (he does seem to be a diplomat, a pity George Vella does not give him an assignment). As for his religious views he says “I am not God neither are you” (shall we laugh or shall we cry).
He also claims to host to date “One Radio Breakfast Show Bongu Familja” since 2012; however no mention of the OPM. Does he have permission to do so by the relevant authorities since according to his contract with the Office of the Prime Minister he should obtain authorisation? Not that I have any doubts that permission will be granted.
No Daphne he must be 53 opr 54 years old. I know him well.He took the catering coarse at the Polytechnic Imsida.
Once he was abducted by the RAF Military Police who mistook him for a deserter.
If only the Labour Party people were all like him (and Bundy).
To add insult to injury he “liked” the joke. Twerps all over, or more properly, jerks.
“Knock, knock”
“Who’s there?”
“Joe”
“Joe who?”
Don’t make no difference. They’re both jerks.
Yo.
John Bundy’s next in line. Let us all sing together ‘Pajjiz tal-Micky Mouse”
Didn’t he already get his? He’s got that sleazy show on TVM now.
Why are Maltese men obsessed with black cocks and their reputed size? Are their sex lives on the flatter side of things? Or too much pornographic material? Where everything is fake.
[Daphne – No, it’s just that these things tend to be in proportion to a man’s height, and most Maltese men are not just short, but very short. So obviously it follows that they are insecure about the size of their private bits, and obsessed with the larger size of other men’s. Sorry to be so graphic, but that’s about the sum of it.]
Oh, God almighty.
Please, tell me this is a joke.
[Daphne – Well, Joe Tanti appears to believe it is one.]
Head of customer care in Castille?
Does that mean that he is under the same roof as Mario Farrugia Borg, the PM’s consultant on Muslim affairs?
I see that the remit OPM’s customer care now includes penis sizes. I’ll phone Joe Tanti. Maybe he can do something about mine.
Yes and when it gets too much he walks down to Wembley Store to buy a snack.
I don’t know how to explain the feeling I get. Nothing surprises me about the Maltese people, but somehow they manage to always come up with something better!
Actually Joe Tanti is 4 years older than me, he is 53 years old.
[Daphne – His official bio claims he was born in May ’59, which makes him 54. I always thought he was much older than that, and in fact, he looks 70.]
Couple his age with his job in Castille and that means that he has officially taken early retirement. Good on him.
Does his wife think his words are funny, because I don’t. As a woman he has insulted me. Can I file a complaint with the Police on this?
[Daphne – No, but you can file a complaint with his employers, the Office of the Prime Minister. Incidentally, he has no wife. Maybe he did once, but not now.]
He left his poor wife, a very decent person unlike him. He gave her no money and she had to take on more than one job to be able to raise their son.
Mentioning his job at Castille, how come he is still on Super One radio till 9 in the morning? Another waiver from Muscat??

Daphne, the head of Customer Care at OPM Castille is Tony Borg.
[Daphne – What does Joe Tanti do there in customer care, exactly?]
If my sources at the OPM are not mistaken, he tackles customer care issues relating to Education.
Maybe he plays some music so that the staff doesn’t get bored.
Or maybe he plays a role from “Deceduti,” perhaps one of the dead ones, who are invisible and therefore nowhere to be seen when you need them?
Officially, there isn’t a Joe Tanti employed at the OPM Customer Care. There is however a Joe Tanti registered within the secretariat of the Ministry for Education and Employment.
The Joe Tanti registered within the secretariat of the Ministry for Education and Employment uses the Customer Care Offices at the OPM is this Joe Tanti
He’s the DJ for the on hold telephone music.
Customer Care yes, but not the head. Muscat does not trust him that much.
Moira Delia, Joe Tanti… who will be next in the queue for a role in this awful government?
DJ Banana?!
Absolutely dreadful.
Skip ta’ l-imbarazz.
i never liked this man. He is sleazy, not talented at all, and no sense of humour, even if he thinks he s god gift’s to comedy. Had no idea he is working in customer care. Really? Mela vera sejrin il-bahar.
Isn’t this tiny man the one who had a child with a girl a few years older than his son?
Geez, some women can be very desperate.
And yes he does look 80+. His jaw has sagged because his teeth seem to have been replaced by some cheap denture.
One word: Jaqq.
He’s a fine one to talk about women and blacks like that.
‘Jaqq’ sums up Joe Tanti perfectly, Jayne.
I’ve had the extreme displeasure of having dealings with him in my professional life and he has always repulsed me.
Jayne, maybe you should think twice before passing judgment on that woman you call “desperate”. Who are you to know. He is a public figure of sorts and therefore people have a right to judge / pass comments etc. The woman you are talking about and even more so her son have no place in this article and therefore you should have enough sense to keep nasty comments to yourself.
[Daphne – Yes, you’re right. I gather she’s young enough to be his daughter and working hard to support her child.]
Yes, and without any financial help.
[Daphne – I hope the mother knows that now he is in employment, which he was not before, she can have part of his wages seized at source via a court order. I find it reprehensible that a man should abandon child and mother financially, and that somebody who does this is rewarded by a prime minister claiming to be ‘feminist’ or ‘caring about children’. ]
“Yes and without any financial help”.
Sums it up.
Parents who bring children into the world, should make absolute sure they provide for their children from birth till they’re old enough to fend for themselves. And if they can’t fend for themselves, it is their duty to make sure they’ll help them.
