She in not a “teacher” as any teacher in the USA. She is an ancient languages (Latin) and literature professor, one of the more appreciated roles in the Italian culture. She is much more elegant than many important “ladies” in the world. Elegant is not kitsch. A kind of elegance than in the USA few people can understand.

The only one who has become a sort of US First Lady is Michelle Muscat, of course the wife of the least significant PM in Europe.

I am not particularly fond of Italian politicians generally but when I think of Renzi, his wife and Napolitano and compare them to Jo, Me-shell and Marilweez … well.

Well, I can personally vouch for the fact that when he was Minister for Culture, Francis Zammit Dimech would not even accept a drink from the bar in the interval of an MADC Shakespeare production. He absolutely insisted on paying for it himself.

Exactly. She’s making hay while the sun shines and enjoying it while it lasts. After a long wait of almost 25 years it seems like they’re all out to party, just like kids in a candy shop.

Jew nejja jew mahruqa would go on the same lines.

Tales like Goldilocks would exist to teach children that there is a “just right” and that is precisely what protocol and a code of ethics stand for: to provide liberating structures so that the main business of the day can get done efficiently by all.

The more highly defined the protocol and ethics, the more transparent and efficient the governance, because the underlying notion is that only a highly sophisticated understanding of the technology of governance can deliver an appropriately finely tuned “just right” simplification to the end user.

Simple at one end does not translate to simple at the other. Most times, simplicity for the end user is only possible because a high degree of understanding and communication of trending, innovative, current and maintenance elements have intertwined across levels of governance and administration. And this as a result of appropriately targeted investment in human capital.

But the Labour focus is not on applying any process of learning here beyond the superficial.

Interesting to note that there must have been absolutely no transfer in the process of any of the traditional storytelling, not by their parents and not by them to their own children: whole layers of perception missing – directional pathways taken on widely differing parallels by the hundreds of thousands that make up the electoral split. The parallels would be those of existence, and societal developmental progress at non-perpendicular transversals.

Deep-rooted principles not seen cannot ever be recognised, named or referred to. Pragmatic shouldn’t mean stupid. Existential shouldn’t mean devoid of a positive value system.

The residual “roadmap” flavour, before any detail general or specific is entered into, is that it’s all about skimming off the top: that with Labour the fundamental motivation in applying itself is “haxi.” Instead of bridging gaps gently together, it sets about to recreate and affirm them, whether in ignorance or blatant disregard, furthering the distance between them.

On the developmental parallel this may go somewhere, but it’s not forwards or upwards, it’s backwards and downwards.

Real social justice by any governing party would need a stark recognition of the gaps for what they really are and a ruthlessness in fair and able address.

Wait till Daphne revamps the blog, let’s hope she doesn’t employ the services of a web designer who thinks tiny headlines in white set on a photograph can be legible.

And those colour identified sections, sport is yellow, local’s blue, art is purple….Lucas parts catalogues were over that sort of thing in 2008.

Idiots.

Yes. And he fell 40 metres and hit the rocks at a speed of over 100 km/h but suffered only insignificant injuries.

Besides there must have been a very strong breeze which carried him several metres away from the cliff’s edge.

Erin Tanti must either have miraculous powers or else he is lying. Cliff Dingli never jumped off Dingli cliffs.

Italy is corrupt and dysfunctional but it is still far more democratic and refined than Malta which manifests no European mentality.

Fourth if you consider only Maltese sites, before The Malta Independent and HSBC.
