Small potatoes, Daphne.

Con artists, the lot of them. And the newspapers must owe loads to Keith Kasco.

And what is a middle-aged (to be kind) married man with young children doing with a Porsche? He certainly can’t go to Lidl shopping in it.

[Daphne – Manuel Mallia is not middle-aged. He is elderly. He is a pensioner with a Kartanzjan. Which reminds me – isn’t it weird that none of the over-60s in Muscat’s cabinet declared their pension?]

Let’s take another look at this.

Manwel Mallia owns a Porsche and keeps 500,000 Euros in cash at home.
Minister Mallia borrows a car from his chief of staff, ostensibly to save money for the state.
Minister Mallia shops at Lidl.
Manwel Mallia’s household staff steal water from a Valletta fountain.

Whatever next?

I mean, what’s the point of having half a million in cash at home?

Oh wait, he loaned that to film producers.

Silvio Scerri probably passes for the Minister before going to the Ministry, Silvio thought it best to put the GM14 plates so that he can park instead of the ministeral car or Silvio wanted to share the Minister’s Chauffeur.
