So much for Manuel Mallia’s MoU with Libya – Codruta’s Faberge earrings and dinky necklace are worth more right now

Another rocket attack on Tripoli airport, a $250 million plane written off due to fighting-damage, and airspace closed – so much for that memorandum of understanding that Manuel Mallia signed a few days ago with his Libyan counterpart.

Rocket attacks on the airport, parliament under siege with smoke coming out of the windows, a politician and human rights activist murdered in Benghazi, the deputy prime minister in hiding in Malta in fear of his life, and what is the Libyan home affairs minister doing? Flying to Malta to sign pieces of paper with Faberge Egg Mallia.

    Knowing how attracted Manuel Mallia is to folk with deep pockets, and considering that trouble in Libya has been escalating, could it be that the MOU unofficially and specifically dealt with golden passports and escape plans for high profile Libyans? I smell rats.

    I have to ask cos I’m not in the picture, can you explain the allusions to the F. egg(s)? Is it some Rumanian speciality? I know they’re fond of mamaliga (I once lived with one i.e. a Rumanian) but this is news to me. Please explain.

    [Daphne – Our Minister for Home Affairs collects Faberge eggs and recently bought his wife a Faberge earrings-and-necklace set. We know because, thrilled to bits, she uploaded several pictures of herself wearing them, on Facebook.]

    Humpty Fucking Dumpty.

    They are signing papers for sure, but more of the banking kind. They must be securing and moving their savings.

    Those MoUs are just an excuse.

    You ‘don’t know who I am’s’ Madonna and Child comes in very handy in the circumstances.

    The former child, now known as Jesus Christ, with some prodding from his Mother and with the help of the prophet Muhammad, may Allah praise him, are urgently required to sort out this veritable mayhem in our neighbours’ land also known as Libya.

    What an unmitigated disaster.

    What Bedlam.

    May God, Jesus Christ, his mother Mary and the Great Prophet of Allah help our Libyan neighbours in their terrifying predicament.

    One of the main objectives in getting rid of Gaddafi was to introduce perpetual chaos in Libya, so everything now is going to plan.

    Can our prime minister send the failed MEP candidate Mario Farrugia Borg as an envoy to mediate between the militias and the Libyan government?

    Which side would our prime minister support? Obviously the winning side.

    Yes, and in the meantime the Maltese embassy in Tripoli is offering a next to no assistance to Maltese citizens.
