Just like the Prime Minister’s New Year message in Fernando Tal-Hawsla’s ‘working class’ kitchen

Kenneth Ciangura told TVM that he didn’t know the prime ministers were going to come calling, that he saw police cars draw up and got the surprise of his life.

He was lying (but then we knew that). For a start, the people who hang about outside that joint saw them changing the lavatory a week ahead. And this evening I was told by somebody who went there for tea and pastizzi on Saturday morning, at around 11.30am, that four plain-clothes police officers and a police major walked in and sat at table.

“The barman wasn’t surprised when they came in, and they ordered four coffees, three without sugar. The major was about 60, a tidy and tall guy.”
