Look at him: the perfect non-career diplomat to be posted to a war zone, wouldn’t you say?

    The appointment of Mannie Galea as Malta ambassador to Libya demonstrates the foresight of the PL government – when Mannie makes it back to Tripoli (unless he has already chickened out) he is going to find mounds and mounds of rubble with which to demonstrate Maltese technology in construction of giren.

    The inhabitants of that shattered country will then be ever grateful to the Maltese government from across the sea.

    I remember Mannie Galea in the Moviment Zaghzagh Partit Nazzjonalista. In fact he was a high-ranking official of the MZPN and very vociferous against Labour. He left politics and went into building development. Then when the writing was on the wall and it was clear that the Labour Party would win the last election he joined the bandwagon. Now he is ‘enjoying’ his poisoned Tripoli chalice. This man has no principles.

      Most switchers switched because they threw out principles and personal integrity to the four winds. Others switched because Gonzi refused requests for iced-buns, so the usual troughers ran off, with a stream of crocodile tears running down their cheeks, to Joseph and his 4th floor. There they found a shoulder upon which to cry on and many promises of artificially sweetened lollipops and iced-buns.

      Mannie was one of them.

      I like the poisoned chalice comment; fits perfectly.

    The Maltese must have learned on how to build a girna while they were on Mars many eons ago.

    Lil perit Mannie Galea nafu u nista nikkonferma kemm hu greedy.

    Gieghel koppja zghazugha jixtru post li kellhu xi ghoxrin sena u qallhom dan investiment tajjeb ghalikom.

    Hallsu ghexieren ta’ eluf ta’ liri Maltin mhux euro u qabbadhom ma’ habib tieghi li hu bennej biex jaghmilhom l-alterations.

    Qalli x’ hin rajthom ghidtilhom hudu pacenzja jien m’ ghandiex kuxjenza nahdmilkom. Bli tridu taghmlu hemm 10,000 lira Maltin spejjez. Lil ohti qabdet lilu sabiex ilestilha l-karti ghall-bank: 150 euro u ghal Arms Ltd 150 euro ohra.
