The onus of responsibility remains with the owner.

No, he is not and I am very surprised how the university communications officer left that on.

He is neither an MD nor a Vet and he does not have a Ph.D. He has an MA in Italian language that he might have read for in Italy and this might be the Dottore misnomer as in Italy, you have a degree with a tesi di lauria, you are called dottore.

Same for his Chev.

In my experience, those individuals that put in titles such as Chev and a large number of qualifications behind their name, most of them being members of learned societies where you pay a yearly membership, have no achievements to show for their efforts.

Did that interview take place whilst the Hon. Dalli was purchasing some medicines from a pharmacy – or was the place her own business premises?

Tghid ghaliex siehbu l-machine gun jipprattika l-isparar fuq l-ghasafar?

The ‘formal ruling’ issued by the Court ‘signaled that Ms Mato had no knowledge of any possible crime’

I remember him from the 70s and he always came across as an underground Sliema Laburist.

During discussions you never really knew where he stood.

His career at SGS probably brought him in contact with the big shots of Mintoffian politics in the 80s and that resolved his ambiguous political stand.

[Daphne – Not underground at all. The major part of Sacro Cuor parish and the Lazy Corner in Sliema have always been Labour strongholds. They’re very mean streets – narrow and with titchy two-room houses. Brothers Emmanuel and Joseph Cuschieri are from the Lazy Corner and they are typical of what you get there.]

That’s right – “Qisek boss hi.”

They are indeed the cartoon version of the capitalist bosses of these islands. And they make no bones about it.
