Get a grip, Gland

Glenn Bedingfield is busy on television promoting the lie that I “attack children aged six or seven”. Apparently, this is a reference to the fact that I routinely say Mrs Muscat should stop shoving her children into the limelight because it’s inappropriate, bad for them, and she shouldn’t expose her children to public scrutiny.

In other words – the opposite of “attacking them”. I’m right, Glenn, and if you don’t think so you’re just as lousy as parent as Mrs Muscat is. Children should be kept out of the spotlight and children in that absurd situation should be given as normal a life as possible, not the opposite.

Bedingfield is also upset because “they” (for which read “Daphne”) call Janice Bartolo a mistress. “We don’t call Kristina Chetcuti a mistress,” he said. His English isn’t that great, I’ll admit. You can’t call Kristina Chetcuti a mistress, Glenn, because she isn’t one. Simon Busuttil is not a married man.

I can call Janice Bartolo the Justice Minister’s mistress, on the other hand, because that is precisely what she is. The Justice Minister is a married man. He was still living with his wife when she began sleeping with him, and he is still married to her now. They are not even separated, though he camps out in a couple of rooms in Valletta.
