Exclusive: John Dalli landing in Lourdes round about now

Iosif Galea of the Lotteries & Gaming Authority, who was sleeping with lawyer Gayle Kimberley in a double extra-marital affair at the time of the snus bribery scandal (left) with John Dalli and Silvio Zammit of Peppi’s Kiosk – they are on holiday in Italy together in this picture
John Dalli boarded a chartered flight to Lourdes that left Malta at 1.30pm today. He is part of a group of pilgrims led by his brother (not the drug-trafficker and Naples Camorra contact, but the other one) Dun Gorg Dalli, who is their spiritual director.
Ex PN minister Ninu Zammit was on the same flight, though not necessarily part of the same group of pilgrims.

Issa jrid jissaffa Dalli B.A.?
Don’t tell me that the Dalli brothers are now turning to take advantage of the naïve believers, vulnerable sick, and asking them for money in return for divine intervention?
John Dalli doesn’t need to go to Lourdes. He needs to seek the Education Minister’s advice on how best to repair his hymen.
A bit, low life?
He will be praying for a miraculous hymenoplasty and save thirty euros.
I always ask myself who could have taken that picture.
Gayle Kimberly?
You know my methods, Watson. Apply them.
The one who never shows up on any of the photos.
Maybe he is on a pilgrimage to thank the Virgin Mary for not curing him too soon when he was in Brussels and needed to be unfit to travel for a while.

Dan haseb li se jixtri l’Alla? Bin nies tad-dinja tidhaq imma b’Alla ma tidhaqx.
He will jump in the holy pool. The waters of Lourdes have miraculous laundering powers.
If “The waters of Lourdes have miraculous laundering powers”, it would work wonders for Manny Żaqq Ħara to launder the piles of cash that even he cannot say or recall from where they have cropped up.
He will jump in the holy pool and the waters of Lourdes will turn murky forever.
Is it just a smokescreen? He had gone to Lourdes around this time last year too, had he not?
Ah, yes, here it is – almost a year to the day. http://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2013/12/you-are-going-to-love-this-john-dalli-is-visiting-the-shrine-at-lourdes/
Going to cash some funds, perhaps?
He’s got a side trip to the Bahamas lined up, more likely.
He can get a connecting flight as soon as he lands in Lourdes, to the Bahamas via Paris. No problem.
A quick two day visit to the Bahamas long enough to look after his charity interests and reconnect at Lourdes for a flight back home.
And not an Ave Maria in between.
Isn’t this behaviour typical of many Maltese?
They wash their egotistical ‘dirty linen’ (ghall-familja, taf int) in devotional hogwash.
For the sake of all believers, I hope the the miracle will be that he just doesn’t contaminate the pool.
Well – the Blessed Virgin has kept him out of the dock so far.
Or should that be put down to the blessed Joseph?
He’s probably gone to fetch water in the hope of repeating the 1987 whisky miracle.

Incidentally Mr Mizzi, ten years have passed since you said that in Parliament.
Now that you’re in government, how about ‘tmexxi d-demokrazija ‘l quddiem f’pajjiżna’ la hemm il-provi, jew paroli biss int?
Maybe he’s just connecting through there on his way back to the Swiss clinic for another sick note, after the revelations in yesterday’s PAC hearing.
He’s going there to restore his hymen.
I believe you are being too kind in regard to his brother the priest.
Where’s the God of Wrath when you need him? Whatever happened to fire and brimstone against vile sinners?
“It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” – Mark 2:17
God is just.
For those who repent on earth, purgatory pays their debts.
Fire and brimstone awaits those who refuse God till death.
…and as Christ said, we should hate the sin and love the sinner.
So John Dalli gets the fatted calf and righteous idiots like me get the crumbs from the table. A fine religion, is Christianity. It’s Islam for me, I think.
You missed the whole point. This is the context of the verse I quoted above:
When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
And no, you won’t get the crumbs if you strive for sainthood. The greater the love of a person on earth, the greater the glory in heaven – though everybody is perfectly happy in heaven, not everyone will have the same glory. An analogy would be this: imagine a large mug and a small glass, both will be filled yet they won’t have the same volume.
Qisu l-ex Prim Imhallef mela, izebbeg il-kuruna wara li nqabad.
It would be interesting to join a tour of the banks in Lourdes.
In the news coverage of the inauguration of the Censu Tabone monument, I spotted John Dalli among the seated audience.
George Pullicino was sitting next to him. If Pullicino does not even have the presence of mind not to sit next to that scoundrel, then I’m not surprised that he was unable to spot irregularities at his ministry.
I mean, come on, the very least PN parliamentarians and officials should do is isolate this scum. Same applies to JPO and Franco Debono.
What was he doing there anyway, and who invited him?
I agree entirely.
One has a back for a reason.
Was seating a fixed affair?
These are questions that one should have the presence of mind to ask before attendance is confirmed.
Any absence from protocol by Government shouldn’t be tolerated and accommodated to become a compromise to one’s own.
Lourdes is in my heart and soul for innumerable reasons. Let me be clear I am far from perfect myself – but when I see who is going there from Malta of late. I really feel like weeping.
The Madonna wept before … could be that she knew it all the way.
I feel that the Madonna in Lourdes should be alerted about his presence there.
Isn’t there a direct flight to the Bahamas from there?
Notwithstanding to all the bad image Mr Iosif Galea gathered through the Snus/Gayle Kimberley’s Scandal, he still managed to be engaged with MEPA on Salary Scale 6. With Labour everyone is pardoned as long as he votes Labour.
Thanking God for Joseph?
People who don’t believe in God have also been to Lourdes. Most of the sellers outside the shrine are atheists.
If you love money, you have got to love Lourdes as there are quite a lot of money spinners there, selling medals, candles, holy pictures, tarot cards…
Le vie del Signore sono infinite
Pity that a beautiful part of the world has to be polluted by such scum.
The miracle of being invited to the Censu Tabone monument ceremony must be acknowledged. It’s testimony to the ‘I’m still in’ status.
Was it not said that some help those who protect them?
Ninu Zammit? That’s it then. It’s Fatima this year for me.
