Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando 2

And here’s an eyewitness account from one of my readers. A word of advice to Lara Boffa: get a bulletproof vest and memorise the police emergency number. Two women and four assorted children have been there before you.

This morning at the Police Headquarters, 30 people who had applied for a gun licence were waiting in line for their interview/test on weapons handling, gun laws, and so on, when a certain Haz-Zebbug dentist walked in, chest out, and shamelessly barged the entire queue. We had all been asked to be there at 9am and to then wait and enter one by one. Each interview lasted around five minutes.

Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando arrived at 9.15am and after waiting for an apparently intolerable five minutes, he just skipped all 30 people who had been there before him, smiling and breezily saying hi as though we were delighted to let him barge past us, and went through the door for his interview.

He walked out doing the same thing, saying ‘bye’ and smiling at everyone like the Pope. Meanwhile, we were all cursing him and tearing him to shreds under our breath for his insufferable arrogance and sense of entitlement: third in when he was last in line.
