Pimps, thieves, swindlers and scoundrels update: look who’s in the first row

They staged a “hero’s welcome” for Don Manuel tonight at the Mainguard – public money used for more than a week for the Labour government’s variant of Muammar Gaddafi’s tent.

The sparsity of the small crowd and its hysterical defiance told me “He’s going down.” Then I took a close look at the man jumping about as though he’s at a football match, clapping like a lunatic, and I thought, well, what do you know.

Don Manuel’s Number One Cheerleader and Pom-Pom Girl there under the Gaddafi tent is none other than Adrian Grech Cumbo, the super-sleaze from Leisure Clothing.

Don’t bother asking why Leisure Clothing gets its own way, and why apart from this inevitable business where the police had to prosecute because they had specific reports from people who were trying to escape those bandits, they will be leaving Leisure Clothing well alone.

Type Adrian Grech Cumbo’s name into the search box up above to find out more about this man.

    Nexos did the lighting. Of course.

  2. Joe Fenech says:

    I’m sure he was there hoping to ventilate Mallia and get a taste of the glory.

  3. David J Camilleri says:

    “Gvern li Ziggi Jisma'”

  4. P Shaw says:

    Probably the last time that Codruta Mallia saw this kind of crude hysteria was when, as a child, she was in line for her allocated ration of bread and milk that Ceacescu kindly gave the Romanians. No wonder she thinks that the Maltese are barbarians.

  5. Maltri says:

    Soon we all have to cheer for our dear leader of the democratic party of the great country of Malta.

    We have to cry when the leader is not happy and jeer at anyone who dares to oppose our him.

    I still rember the double rainbow is the skys when he was elected leader. And the ghasafar tal-bejt all sprang into song.

    Our mighty leader hasn’t defecated since that day.

  6. milton says:

    We’re fast catching up with North Korea.

  7. arguzin says:

    Notice how Codruta was deployed in the minister’s staged entry, but she was completely ignored and ushered to the side once she entered the tent.

  8. dutchie says:

    This falls under the “Hello Pyongyang” updates.

    Except for one detail. They’re not cheering because they are scared but for the reward.

    Everyone in that tent must be receiving/has an iced bun.

  9. ChrisM says:

    How very communist to stage events to seem that you are a some sort of national hero.

    This sometimes spells the beginning of the end in some totalitarian states run under a dictatorship.

    I wonder what it spells for Malta, an E.U member state.

    Hallas it-taxxi, poplu!

  11. observer says:

    Complete with Codruta and her big red bag (a sandwich can always come in handy, can’t it.)

    North Korean style rent-a-crowd, of course.

  12. Peter Bloom says:

    And the Permanent Commission against Corruption is in deep slumber. Perhaps it has not even been reconstituted after the untimely death of one of its members. Or has it?

  13. Mila says:

    Now why would Times of Malta use the word ‘hero’ in the heading instead of say, ‘show of support’ or similar?

    The use of the word in that context is so ridiculous that, unless the author has a dismal grasp of the language, must serve a very specific purpose.

    It would help to know who planted the piece but there is a mental red flag there that will not go away.

  14. George Grech says:

    Anke Bin Han inghata ‘merhba kbira’ meta rritorna lura l-Leisure Clothing wara li kien arrestat.

  15. hello says:

    We knew the stories would dovetail at some point, we just need to see the notches of the dovetail now.

  16. La Redoute says:

    Codruta put in one of her rare appearances at the Mainguard too. Is she going to nip round the tent with a jerry can, now that her house slave’s legged it back to Romania?

  17. Watcher of lies and funny fat men says:

    Mallia has taken a leaf out of Mintoff’s book and has organised a ‘spontaneous’ hero’s welcome to himself.

    Reminds me of Mr. Bean’s birthday party.

  18. bob-a-job says:

    Gvern li jisma …. tiri u jigdeb fuqhom.

  19. Nauseabundo says:

    Oh, after this display, we so have been convinced that we were wrong about Don Manuel…NOT.

    What an insult to basic intelligence. Even by ‘lejber’ standards, which is saying something.

  20. Mim says:

    The Hero, who is in charge of the Police should be asked if the number plate stated here is a leasing number and who the leasing owner is.

    “The car in question was a grey Ford Focus, plate number LCF 606. It was not a Malta Enterprise but was leased by Malta Industrial Parks Ltd for the general use of its employees.” Times of Malta

    Did Times of Malta check this fact or do they only print what they are told? LCF is not a leased-car plate.

      Malta Industrial Parks is another useless Taghna Llkoll outfit where everyone – especially those on the Board – should be sacked on the double.

  21. Tabar says:

    qatta purcinelli. Nies bla principji. It is all about power and money. These people are ruining our country, financially and also the reputation Dr, Fenech Adami, Gonzi and some others worked so hard to achieve are all going down the drain.

  22. aidan says:

    Was that c**nt Franco Debono there to welcome Don Manuel.

  23. Tabatha White says:

    Manwel is less bloated.

    Even seams give way.

    So he got the crowd to perform.

    For whose benefit?

    Things haven’t changed Manwel.

    You still need to go pronto.

    What a rotten lot.

    Looks like Yana is still chugging dung around.
