Here’s another married man sneaking off to MacDonald’s behind the wife’s back

This picture of Malta’s High Commissioner in London queuing at the MacDonald’s counter for a little something naughty was taken in St Julian’s around half an hour ago.

Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he had a sudden hankering for one of their delicious salads.

That he’s been on a strict diet is obvious. He’s a lot thinner than he used to be.

Members of my international worldwide network of spies tell me – and I have this on the best authority – that the Police Minister is also seeing a nutritionist (not in the dating sense, you understand) in an attempt at addressing his height-to-weight ratio.

We must look more closely at recent photographs to see whether his commendable efforts have met with success…unless, like Malta’s Special Envoy to the World Tourism Organisation and Malta’s High Commissioner in London, he is also sneaking off to MacDonald’s for a furtive burger hoping ‘Er Indoors won’t find out.
