Alex Ferguson’s autobiography. L-oratorju tal-Mosta.

I once found myself sitting in a tram waiting to leave its departure point outside Stazione Centrale. The driver was ensconced in Kundera’s Life Is Elsewhere.

If Dalli is still an EU Commissioner does that mean that he is still liable to be dismissed with loss of pension rights?

Saviour Balzan illustrates the distinct difference between a ‘reporter’ and a ‘journalist’. As for John Dalli, he is beyond hope of redemption and is now believing his own fantasies.

If John Dalli is still a Commissioner, then he cannot do work other than for the Commission.

So why does he say “”A commissioner who takes up a job with anyone within 18 months of his tenure coming to an end must seek permission from the Commission. And I asked for that permission”?

Is he still a Commissioner, or did his tenure come to an end?

Now I am are really confused.

Can a journalist ask the prime minister if he had by any chance dismissed Dalli from his role of consultant but Dalli continues to say that he is the prime minister’s and the health minister’s consultant?

We should have a competition about what Barroso could have said when he received Dalli’s request to prepare the report on Mater Dei (ghax ried jaghmel xi haga ghall-pajjiz.)

This web has taken years to weave and I am afraid will take many more to take apart, strand after strand, while the spider tucks itself safely away.

Dalli the ‘consultant’ has once more told a half truth, if not an outright lie. Not being asked ‘the’ question is no justification for not revealing what the terms are for a former EU Commissioner who either voluntarily resigned or was given half an hour to clear his desk and leave.
