One more salutary lesson for Simon Busuttil.

I hope someone’s taking notes.

Chef, if you know anything about our diplomatic corps, as you seem to do, you’ll be aware of the sorry state it finds itself in due to partisan interests and neglect.

It is very sad to see that once dignified institution the subject of a constant haemorrhage over the past 10 years.

Come on Chef, you should know the PN appointed a school corridor supervisor as Malta’s resident ambassador to Ireland, on the wink from someone at San Anton Palace.

Captain Charles Kangaroo Pace, Alessandra ‘Malta Tieghi, Malta Tieghek’ Pace’s father, first applied for early retirement from Air Malta under the old pay basic monthly salary scheme.

When his mate Captain Dominic ‘I am late at the gate’ Azzopardi (married to Super One’s Simone Cini) negotiated a new Eur500,000 tax-free payout scheme, he became interested and managed to get the payout too.

He then became the flight safety manager for a Kazakh-owned, Swiss-managed flight safety company called Comlux.

He was not happy there and his eyes were set on a directorship role at Transport Malta Civil Aviation Directorate. His only problem was that he couldn’t work for them as rules prohibit early retirement takers to work for a government entity.

Of course, Charles managed to change the rules and got his EUR100,000 a year post at Transport Malta as deputy director. Malta Taghna Lkoll.

Correct – Alessandra Pace is also daughter of Capt. Charles Pace know as “Kangaroo Jackie” within Labour ranks because of his hopping from one post to another.

There Alessandra goes again, using her family’s connection to Labour while remaining the useless person she has always been. I still remember the problems she caused Louis Grech when she worked in Brussels, and the clashes she used to have with his Bulgarian assistant.

Are the Vella Bonnicis a family of freeloading bums who can’t make it without a crutch from Labour cronies?

His father Joe has been put on the public payroll as ‘chief of Identity Malta’ and his cousin Alessandra Pace (mother is Vella Bonnici) has been put on the public payroll too as communications officer for CHOGM 2015 with Phyllis Muscat.

I still remember one day of swearing and shouting following a phone call from Keith Schembri Il-Kasco asking him to employ Vella Bonnici on a part-time basis because Labour couldn’t have its international secretary on the unemployed list.
