Aren’t they sweet: Inspector Gadget and Saint Marie Antoinette Romanova
Two Mintoffian fossils from the Golden Years of Labour, one now Speaker of the House and the other now President of Malta, go over the good times – just how good, we won’t get into.
They’ll soon be joined by their contemporary Mintoffian 1980s fossil, Karmenu Vella, as EU Commissioner.
Two other Mintoffian 1980s fossils, Joe ‘Fat Controller’ Grima and Alex ‘AST’ Sceberras Trigona have been installed already as Malta’s envoys to, respectively, the World Tourism Organisation and the World Trade Organisation.
It pays to hang on for 30, 40 years after a scintillating political career in a party rife with corruption, violence and human rights violations.
We forget that Saint Marie Antoinette Romanova presided over the Malta Labour Party as its secretary-general when it was at its worst. She didn’t give a ripe fig about anybody’s rights then.
She should have resigned when her propaganda secretary (yes, that’s what the Malta Labour Party’s information officer was called) Stephen Ciantar was caught producing pornographic films starring himself copulating with the Malta Labour Party’s mass meeting cheerleaders, the Pom Pom Girls, in the party headquarters, Il-Macina.
But she didn’t, did she.

The two have time and opportunity to speak about the good old times.
Mr Speaker seems to be showing our president the size of his, ahem, manhood as she looks on horrified (perhaps more at the size he is showing than at the prospect itself).
She is still into that kinky stuff at her age, like it was the year 1981.
More like the size of the piece of cake he ate. My god, don’t these people have a metabolism?
In the meantime AST was busy whitewashing Mintoff’s legacy on Campus FM this morning enthusiastically aided by the programme’s host Charles Xuereb.
Yes. I listened to the effort at re-writing of history by one who should hide his face for the awful misdeeds during Mintoff’s days as foreign minister – one who had piloted the Foreign Interference Act besides requesting foreign ambassadors not to talk to the Nationalist Party, f’wiccu baqa’, however, starting from the US ambassador who purposely used to park his official car in front of Eddie Fenech Adami’s house when visiting him.
I’ll be looking forward to next Saturday to see if Charles Xuereb will have the guts to ask Alex Sceberras Trigona about the infamous North Korean agreement meant to train police and army fight Maltese citizens.
As in some Shakespearean drama, great events are heralded or accompanied by natural phenomena. This inauguration was no exception and two seismic tremors were felt in various parts of the country.
I do not think Marie Louise Coleiro is unfit for office, and I do not think that she is a disgrace to the presidency and the republic. I also dissociate myself from this comment.
Will this do?
Joseph Muscat has gagged them both.

What’s Norman Hamilton up to?
The last I heard was around 4 months ago when he presented his credentials to the Queen.
Presumably he’s still resting from the effort.
Kapxinn? No. No kapxinn. Not today. Gejja wahda tinkiteb.
L-invilopps is too close to the edge. The ass is the law. Ask Norwell.
A big thank you, Daphne, for the memorabilia. I have never seen a statesman of a President stoop to shake hands with the Speaker of the House.
It is about time Hamilton Travel gave her a weekend break at Buckingham Palace where she can get some training.
She’s finally managed to get her way, to be on top of him.
Re the top photo:-
Who is that ‘direttore di pompe funebri’ standing just behind the president, and what is he waiting for? Wasn’t it to be a ‘happy’ occasion?
They have been in the rat race of politics from the days of the Socialist Youth Movement to which both appertained.
