Those who pay for their own handbags do not advertise them.

Oh really, didn’t you know? Well, here she is: Vanessa Frazier’s mother, Maria Baldacchino, at the notorious L-Gharix with Prime Minister MIntoff (+ hernia belt). The man in the middle is Jean Agius, of Soho at the time.

I can’t stand fake people who pretend to be something they’re not. Vanessa Frazier’s father has a sister married to George Vella, the Labour Minister. Her mother hung around with Mintoff at L-Gharix. And she somehow wormed her way into Prime Minister Gonzi’s trust and his office.

I’m beginning to think that the only reason the Nationalist government didn’t put Yana Mintoff in a position of trust is because she didn’t do enough fawning.

Tal-biki.

Now that’s a piece of information which escaped me.

The net result? They discriminated AGAINST highly competent individuals out of fear that they would be thought tof be favouring them because of their Nationalist political sympathies, while discriminating IN FAVOUR of Laburisti who sucked up and pretended to be on side, Mrs Frazier being a prime example.

To quote her deathless Facebook prose: how crazy is that?

A self-serving dissembler whose mother was one of Dom Mintoff’s lady friends – expect no better because the apple rarely falls far from the tree.

Most of all, I am impressed by the fact that this perceptive career diplomat managed to climb the ladder so swiftly and effectlvely under both administrations.
