And when Joe Saliba went out on Zaren Vassallo’s boat, the boat moored to find a gaggle of Super One reporters waiting

Published: November 27, 2013 at 9:42pm

A friend has just sent me this comment. I’m not using his name, because that’s not the issue here. Just know that I know him and know too that he is not the only one to have sent me reports of how frequently Phyllis Muscat and her husband Pawlu take the prime minister and his wife out on their boat and sometimes, Elena and Edward Zammit Lewis too.

Daphne, the Muscats – Phyllis and Pawlu, that is – regularly entertain the Prime Minister and his family and also Mr and Mrs Edward Zammit Lewis for weekends and outings on Pawlu’s yacht which is moored in Mellieha Bay.

Shame no newsroom ever thought it newsworthy or bothered to send a cameraman down to film the prime minister and Phyllis Muscat disembarking from her boat after a lovely day in Comino.

Imagine what that footage would be worth now in terms of news mileage.

    The PN’s secretary general is expected by all and sundry to stick to a rigid code of ethics.
    The PL’s PM is expected to be nothing more than a corrupt, incompetent, fraud.
    This is Malta with its mores and morality.
    Let us all resign ourselves and accept the plain truth.
    We belong to a banana republic.
    We are not at all happy about it but facts are facts.
    We have to lump it, grin and bear it.

    The obvious reason for this lack of reporting lies in the fact that whereas Zaren Vassallo has a regular mooring berth at the Marina from where he embarks and disembarks and is known to everyone, the Melliehin Muscats berth in the middle of Ghadira, pay no berthing fees and do not have to drive up to Ta’ Xbiex and waste precious fuel.

    The Melliehin Muscats are simply wannabes who feel comfortable crossing from Mellieha to Comino and feel important when they have Joseph, Mixel, Bagolla and her husband on deck.

    The Muscats also have a berth in Ta’ Xbiex on Pontoon K. Their boat is a Bavaria 39ft sailing yacht and Pawlu Muscat has been appointed a member of the Malta Maritime Board. Ghax tghidx kemm jifhem fil-maritime ghax ghandu bowt.

    Some countries have tsunamis
    some countries have earthquakes
    in Malta we have the PL.

    • Well Joseph Muscat did promise an earthquake when he was appointed leader of the Malta Labour Party.

      However, those taken in did not dream that he was talking of this type of earthquake.

    Il-veru kas li mill-hazin morna ghall-aghar.

    Grazzi tal-informazzjoni li kieku ma kontx int ma kontx insir nafhom ghax ma nitkellimx ma nies. Keep it up.

    Reminds me of the days I used to be on duty in Strait Street (as a police officer).

    As soon as a sailor in white uniform used to pass by a gaggle (allow me to use the word) of BARMAIDS they used to flock around him, greeting him with “HELLO JOE”.

    They would then ask the SAILOR JOE if he would buy them a drink.

    The gaggle of SUPER ONE reporters, like the BARMAIDS, rally round the victim of their spin and puerile attacks. Job done, they would then team around THEIR JOE and would not have to ask for a drink.

    He showers them with the most rewarding jobs which fetch them more money than a BARMAID could earn in a lifetime. No two barmaids are the same nor are any two Joes.

    It would be nice to have some pictures.

  9. Kukkurin says:

    They are rather tight on the ground at the Super One newsroom these days.

  10. Robert Barathian says:

    When our intrepid reporters confronted PN ministers and parliamentary secretaries during the previous administration, they shoved their microphones in their faces and just stopped short of bullying them. How brave. Where are they now. They’ve gone into hibernation.

    They are all a bunch of lily-livered cowards who haven’t got the guts to put a decent, telling question to Labour ministers and parliamentary secretaries. And there is so much fodder for them to feast on that their only problem would be with whom to start.

    Wherever you look it’s one scandal after another.

    Could it be that they all know that if they do, they would be hit below the belt, where it hurts most? Shame on you.
