Not only that deposits do not equal income, but that anyone wanting to conceal income would hardly deposit it in a Maltese bank…not when bank notes are just the right thing for stuffing mattresses with.

The wifey keeps uploading FB VIEWS OF WHAT CAN BE SEEN FROM HER TERRACE – all acquired with the money awarded after his discharge on a technicality. And she goes on all the time about her bosom friends Jeffrey and Lara.

[Daphne – Shameless. A real bunch of crooks.]

It is not preparing for thr worst. It is preparing ro stay in power no matter what. It is us Maltese citizens, parents of children and people of goodwill who need to prepare for the worst. This government is the MLP not the PL.

The more they find themselves under pressure and under scrutiny the dirtier they get.

That they have ‘independent’ media outlets supporting these tactics just because the editor has an axe to grind is disgusting.

History really is repeating itself. How horribly shortsighted of the Maltese electorate to have burdened the country with these scoundrels.

Never has it been more clear to me that building a new life with my family away from Malta was probably amongst the best decisions we made. My only regret and concern is that I still have financial interests there. It’s now a matter of keeping them safe from these pillaging savages and getting out when I can.

Let’s thank God she managed to change the stupid title, il-Ginger. It’s not all set in concrete after all.

[Daphne – Well, exactly.]

Their mother was American.

And we are today seeing the MLP government preparing a monument for this late criminal.

[Daphne – Well, you know the tragedy is that people didn’t understand at the time and many still refuse to see it now, that Mintoff targetted ALL the banks and nationalised them because it was only through the banks that he could exercise total control over people, businesses and the economy. Because everybody had to go to and through one of the state banks, people and businesses were destroyed or created as he and his cronies dictated. Even now I hear people saying, ‘Oh but under Mintoff things did not deteriorate so quickly in the first two years as they have now under Muscat. Of course they did. Mintoff spent his first two years in power seizing everything he could. He was elected in 1971. He seized the National Bank of Malta in 1973.]
