I take offence at the suggestion you are making regarding the Church. If there is one other person who is publicly standing up to the rubbish that comprises this government and its gross entourage it is the Archbishop.

Don’t knock him; it is not justified. As for this American’s $100 million, I encourage him to splash it about to try and buy political or whatever influence he thinks he merits. It’s a sure-fire way for him to lose it all very quickly.

Oh definitely chavness of the first order – just American style. And similar to the sovereign rings our countrymen like to wear, yes they do double as a weapon.

I used to watch Pawn Stars: people just buy them when their team wins. It’s a “Ħamallata” of the first order.

In my opinion, it’s a weapon.

I think that’s an American College championship ring. The sort of thing given to players who win baseball, basketball and American football tournaments. It’s typical jock wear and wearing one in your 50s is fairly pathetic, like boasting about the medal you won on school sports day, or your Form IIC report. Unless, of course, it’s one he actually bought, which would make it doubly pathetic.

He must also have some Maltese connections or links. He wouldn’t be able to do this on his own. No way, Jose.

Yes, plus 3D razor-sharp shark’s tooth in the centre for added harm. Hamallu veru.

This place is turning into 1930s Chicago. Pity Malta does not have an Eliot Ness to clean out the scum.
