[Daphne – Do you ask your babysitter for a fiscal receipt? Well, then. Where in the world do babysitters give fiscal receipts. You are either employed as a nanny under labour laws or you are some student or housewife babysitting a few random hours for pocket money. It drives me crazy the way people miss the point. The point here is not the fiscal receipt. The point here is that a minister’s driver should not be running around with a minister’s children providing babysitting services while his boss and wife are at a party. The second point is that no responsible parent would leave a child with a gun-toting driver with a history of anger management issues and a serious addiction to Red Bull. The third point is that, given that his daughter was with the driver and the driver was due to collect him, there is no way Manuel Mallia cannot immediately have been informed of what happened.]

Codruta Mallia flirts with her husband’s driver Paul Vella on Facebook, in full public view. Enough said.

Buontempo is usually in the car too but sometimes the driver does the drop-off alone.

Then in the afternoon the state-funded driver returns in GM21 to collect the children and take them home. Buontempo is usually in the car, but sometimes the driver is alone. And on rare occasions, the state-funded driver in GM21 drives Mrs Buontempo to the school gates (in her track suit).

Can you imagine the shots fired while those girls were coming out of school?

Manuel Mallia has to be sacked.

Skont dawn il-proċeduri, il-Membri Parlamentari biss jistgħu jitilgħu mit-taraġ prinċipali filwaqt li impjegati u membri tal-pubbliku jgħaddu minn entratura sekondarja fejn issir tfittxija fuqhom għall-armi.

Iżda l-iskorta tal-Prim Ministru Joseph Muscat injorat għal kollox din il-proċedura u baqgħu telgħin fit-taraġ prinċipali ma’ Muscat. Għalxejn is-suldat li kien xogħol ipprova jiġbdilhom l-attenzjoni għall-istruzzjonijiet tal-Ispeaker u baqgħu għaddejjin.

Sadanittant, f’email li ntbagħtet liż-żewġ whips tal-Gruppi Parlamentari mill-Iskrivan tal-Kamra, ingħad li wara l-problemi li nqalgħu ilbieraħ, il-proċeduri ta’ sigurta’ se jkunu estiżi ukoll fl-entratura principali qabel it-taraġ il-wiesgħa’

What is this?

Maybe this permanently angered and disgusted taleban should ask himself what brought about the current ‘uncultured bourgeoisie’ to prevail on these islands.

I can give him a full list of their origins and how they were forced upon us, doing away with the more acceptable, to his mind, adversary. Wanker.

Oh for a spiritual resolution of the language question, the orphaned accepting to contaminate the PN and vice-versa.

Why should we be surprised that some of the squalor and mire on which he has thrived so well has stuck to him, perhaps even became him.

Whereas this is not the case with most lawyers, there are nevertheless bound to be be a few who are affected negatively, and whose perspective of normality, their sanity even, is warped by their professional experience.

That a few of these are appointed magistrate, judge or even minister is no surprise. It does however speak volumes about the person responsible for making such appointments.
