10+ security guards to escort Manuel Mallia to the lavatory

This is from the reader who sent me these pictures of the Minister of Homeland Security and Films at a boxing event with the Fat Controller Joe Grima, at Monte Kristo on 12 July.

Prior to Mallia’s arrival, tables were set up normally with guests sitting in the same area where you can now see Mallia and Grima in the photos.

But then when he arrived, staff were actually instructed to cram the guests aside and set up a special table for Mallia to sit comfortably with his wife, and later with Grima.

The worst is yet to come – Mallia had to visit the restrooms at one point. He had over 10 security guards escorting him all the way to the urinals. Ridiculous.

    Shouldn’t Mallia and Grima be seated under the burgers sign? Or are they simply – torti?

    He’s entitled, isn’t he?

    10 bodyguards: two to prop him up, two to clear a passageway, two to stand guard at the lavatory door, one to ensure the adequate supply of toilet tissue, one to lower (or raise) the seat, one to unzip his fly, and one to make sure there is water in the taps so he can wash his hands after he’s finished.

    Any problem with water – some can always be fetched from the St George Square fountains.

    Actually he was one bodyguard short, the one who wipes his….hands?

    Same as the gangsters in New York 1960.

    Jaqq and more jaqq. Hail to you, Kim Il Sung.

  5. Mallia says:

    So that’s why there’s a crush at Lidl when he shops there.

    They were probably required to carry his privates

  7. George Grech says:

    Mrs. Mallia seems in a very cheerful mood. So would I if I was about to spend my evening watching half naked fit guys and compare them to my fat ugly husband.

  8. Guz says:

    Was he carrying a couple of Faberge eggs in his trousers?

  9. canon says:

    How many did it take to open his fly?

    “But then when he arrived, staff were actually instructed to cram the guests aside and set up a special table for Mallia to sit comfortably with his wife, and later with Grima”

    Of course, until Mallia and Grima turned up, the staff had not yet realised how fat they are and how much space they needed to fit them in.
    So poor other guests had to be crammed to make room for these two.

    It is not ridiculous for security guards to accompany the Hon. Minister to the toilet. Robber baron Erasmus owner of Predjamska Castle in Slovenia was killed up by a carefully aimed canon ball when his visit to the toilet was signalled to the enemy by a treacherous servant.

    B’dispjacir u kontra qalbu l-Mintoffjan spicca jilghaq ex-Nazzjonalist illum ministru. X’farsa waqaw fija.

    Hafna Laburisti spiccaw cittadini tas-sekonda kategorija. Hahaha.

  13. observer says:

    Ten security guards to help him answer a call of nature. Wow.

  14. Vanni says:

    Maybe our minister is afraid that he will be mistaken for Justin Bieber, and be mobbed by an army of adoring female girls.

    • The President says:

      Female girls? Oh, I see. As distinct from the male variety who featured heavily in his party’s electoral propaganda. I remember a particularly gorgeous one in a bowtie and another one with a ‘bawzer hara’.

  15. Alf says:

    “He had over 10 security guards escorting him all the way to the urinals”.

    He probably needs a lot of assistance finding it beneath his belly.

  16. zorro says:

    10 security guards? That’s a lot of help to find your weiner.

    • H.P. Baxxter says:

      Let’s see.

      One to open the door to the bogs.

      One to open the minister’s flies.

      One to extract the pizzle.

      One to hold it.

      One to give the all clear.

      One to give it a final shake.

      One to put it back in its fuzzy nest.

      One to close the flies.

      One to flush.

      One to open the door again.

      That’s ten. That’s just for a Number One. For a Number Two, multiply by two.

  17. C Falzon says:

    Considering his diameter it is understandable that he would need a good number of guards to secure the perimeter.

  18. michael seychell says:

    When a person in a high position is seen with more than two security personnel, whether uniformed or not, it can be interpreted that he knows he is abusing his position, and therefore requires to be guarded more than what is normal.

    • H.Galea (NRK) says:

      Reminds me of how many times George Borg Olivier walked from Porta Reale all along Kingsway to attend Parliament – all on his own.

      I know that comparisons are odious, but notwithstanding, I cannot resist recollecting how most of the individuals greeted him with ‘bonswa Prim’ or ‘Bongu Gorg’ and he, with his unique charisma, reciprocating with a smile. What a stark contrast.

    Ma jimmaniggjax wahdu? Povra l-mara tieghu.

    • The President says:

      Well, if he can’t find it then she’s probably quite grateful to be spared his attentions. He’s not exactly the sort who’d have women whipping their knickers off in haste, is he. She probably lies back and thinks of Romania.

  20. Ghoxrin Punt says:

    And Alfred Sant has the cheek to say that the Nationalists overspent and caused the Fitch downgrade.

    Fitch could not have been clearer: the Maltese government has not contained the costs over the last six months and this is why. You have to feed all those mouths you promised…

  21. ciccio says:

    10 security guards? Does he carry the 500,000 euros in cash in his wallet?

  22. Joe Fenech says:

    Maybe he has a giant todger and needs a hand (or 10) to help lift it.

    • Al says:

      Sorry, Joe… It’s nine people to hold up the belly and just the one for the todger. I apologise to all for that mental picture (mental in more ways than one).

  23. Paul Bonnici says:

    Maybe he carries his cash everywhere with him.

  24. Bullivant says:

    An adult nappy could have drastically reduced the need for 10+ security guards. That’s cost-cutting, Minister Mallia.

  25. CANDIDA says:

    What a waste of manpower, time and wages. Is that why he tried to save up on catering and waitering services by using the Police force to make up for his lavish retinue?

  26. Stefan says:

    That advert for Gourmet Burgers is really fitting. But it could land Joe Grima in trouble with McDonalds.
