Comments on: So exactly how does somebody whose job it is to run a shelter for the homeless end up owning a large farm in Sicily, with a business selling agricultural products? https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2013/12/so-exactly-how-does-somebody-whose-job-it-is-to-run-a-shelter-for-the-homeless-end-up-owning-a-large-farm-in-sicily-with-a-business-selling-agricultural-products/ Daphne Caruana Galizia is a journalist working in Malta.

It’s very easy, Xmun. All he needs to do is to publish the YMCA Malta accounts for the past 10 years.

Only those who worked closely with him know the extreme cases he handled often involving defenceless children and women.

The man may be a bit of a maverick, yes, but it takes one and his kind of guts to take on an institution and put the plight of the homeless on a stage where it now is.

Living on a farm in Ragusa or selling organic food and products isn’t a crime. Making unsubstantiated insinuations about YMCA funds and their misappropriation may be. Either beef up the claims with evidence or leave the man be. How about asking the homeless shelter residents for an opinion on JP and the YMCA?

What is the sparing of a single life from suicide worth? Does anyone of you know how many lives YMCA has saved? Or might this not make a sensational story?

Not too bad for a Mintoffian communist. Apparently Palazzo St. Ursula used to be his home, complete with a subterranean heated indoor pool, but now that he’s moved to his farm in Sicily, he’s turned it into a boutique hotel.

I have known his family through friends we have in common for twenty-odd years, and I have always been struck by what a Mintoffjana his mother is.

I haven’t seen any of them for a rather long time now but they were always what I consider to be a bulwark of “Laburizmu”.
