I wouldn’t trust Muscat with an investment portfolio if I knew he was a habitual liar, even if I knew he was a successful adviser.

Doesn’t everyone have the right to have his own private life”?

I thought that all this fuss about equal rights and all that rubbish had something to do with persons like that.

But to try and put to ridicule one of our best surgeons is unacceptable,

If we keep on going this way, judging persons by their political colour, than God help us, if of course He hasn’t given up on us already.

[Daphne – It’s not his politics that’s the subject of discussion, Mr Loporto. Quite a few of us are wondering why exactly he found it necessary to tell the court and the country that his assailant rubbed an empty beer bottle over his naked body and complemented him on his buttocks. I mean, why?]

Excellent point, Counsellor. I was about to mention it myself. The court now has the duty to verify that testimony. Therefore, it requires an expert witness to assess the veracity of the claim to posterior pulchritude. Tinto Brass specialises in females so the court will have to look farther afield.

I think we have a bun in making for Manu Maltes. Iced, of course.

My god that sounds rude.

Agree 100%. Same experience and same sentiment.

And why do I have a feeling that this man was just engaging in S & M games, which can sometimes end in deliberate humiliation because they find that sort of thing ‘sexy’?

This is the most unfair comment I’ve read so far. I wouldn’t have published it.

In a medical sense, you can trust this man with your life. He is exceptional.

I know exactly what I’m saying – he was my surgeon in two major operations and again my surgeon for a minor one. I have sung his praises the world over.

Judging by reports on media recently, he does come across as weird and shady on a personal level and I have not held back any comments to that effect. But professionally? That is one step too far.
