Taghna Lkoll hamallagni update: GM22
A eyewitness has sent in this comment. But who is using GM22 post-reshuffle? It used to be Roderick Galdes. Is it still?
I do not know which Minister or Parlamentary secretary is using GM 22 but he needs learn some manners. Today I was at the Gharghur Milk Festival and noticed the minister’s car. I was temporarily distracted when the minster entered the car so I did not see who he was.
He went in at the front leaving his wife at the back and the driver ended up belting the child (in a car seat) himself. But that is just the tip of the iceberg.
The car was in a street which was blocked off to traffic with the standard metal barriers. The driver moved the two barriers to get the ministerial car out of the street.
Once he drove out, I assumed he was going to stop the car and replace the barriers. To my shock and surprise he just sped off.
Some idiot would say ‘uwijja it’s not a problem’. But with the barriers removed any car could just drive into a zone which was purposely closed off for pedestrians.
Apart from the inconvenience and the havoc which could ensue there is a degree of safety as well. A real case of I’m all right, Jack hamallagni.

FKNK / Brian May update – Hilarious.

I spotted the same car at the Strawberry Festival on Sunday afternoon.
It was parked in a street that was also blocked off to traffic, very close to the Mgarr square.
When I walked past, the driver was playing away on his mobile phone, looking extremely bored. His only company was the toddler sitting in a car seat behind him, kicking and squirming, while he babysat.

I apologise for posting out of contest but just look at this ‘douche bag’!! Honestly, I could kill him myself. I can’t imagine what her father is feeling right now.
I also apologise for the double exclamation marks, I’m just noticing them now. Really, this story makes me so angry that I get carried away.
Last time I saw GM22 it was being driven by Roderick Galdes’s driver. This was last Friday, just before the national circus.
I assume he was on his way to pick up Galdes, so he is still using that car.
GM22 does get around. It was parked in front of the upholstery shop in Valley Road on Saturday morning.
The same car drops off Mrs Galdes at HSBC in Hal Qormi every day at 8am and picks her up again at 2pm.
A chauffeur service for the wife, paid for by the state.
For the definition of hamallagni, check out the attire, hair and make-up of his women staff.
Some of them, not all – but his private secretary’s hair is soooo red it hurts your eyes.
People with a certain past should be cautious about setting themselves up on a pedestal wearing pre-fabricated haloes and offering themseves as role models .This is especially so especially when they become heads of state.
They risk being seen as hypocritical, blatantly opportunistic, shallow and inconsistant white- washed tombs, bringing little or no honour to the high office they have been chosen.
GM22 is Rodrick Galdes’s ministerial car.I guess that he was at Gharghur and Mgarr because he is the PS for agriculture and animal rights.

It’s called runaway, when a linear phenomenon spreads to other sectors and turns exponential.
I can vouch for the above. I too witnessed it. I waited for the driver to stop and put the barriers back, but he didn’t.
I would have challenged him had I not been with my 5-year-old. I didn’t want to risk an ugly situation, so I just let it go.
Thank you for highlighting this atrocious and selfish behavior.
