One of them has just been appointed a member of the new Lands Authority, so the odds of her speaking up against a government minister, even if she was married to him and has his children, are quite small.

And yet, this is the person that the Labour Party saw fit to elect as their deputy leader. He is the epitome of the values of the party. A family man, my foot. A family man is not one who produces children, but one who believes in the value of a good family, protects his spouse and children and gives them a good example.

Cabinet ministers are not permitted to do any other work. And yes, he should most definitely be investigated on sources of income, though of course his own personal economy might well be cash-driven.

Intelligent politicians are wise enough, when they are in trouble, to resign early in the sordid game instead of digging themselves, and their party, deeper into the filth.

It is called “damage limitation”. If they are too drunk to realise it by themselves their party boss would insist that they leave before they wreck the party (provided always that the boss is not himself in a hole just as deep if not deeper).

In reply to Francis Saliba MD. In libel suits, the burden of proof is on the defendant.

“I don’t have to prove anything. She does.” (Chris Cardona)

No, sir. YOU and your companion in distress are the ones making the libel accusation. YOU have to prove it.

And the longer you delay answering by the unconvincing silly ploy, “Not now – some time later, in the future, in court, if it ever reaches that stage” the more the intelligent part of the electorate will conclude that you have something to hide and that you dread that evil day.

If Daphne sues him back for calling her a liar and defaming her brilliant work, he will be the one to pay.

Probably he’s hiding in the sewers, where he belongs.

The way they all sail through the thick quagmire of crud is just gobsmacking. It runs off them like water off a duck’s back.

Now that the Minister for Economy has declared himself a family man, I can finally understand how Michael (of Amanda) was appointed Minister for the Family. I think that the word ‘family’ has been re-defined. In a cabinet reshuffle, Hardona should be made Minister for the Family. It would be a natural progression.
