Oh, what fun and games
What jolly games Renato and Labour’s Business Forum are having with that scaRRRRf tal-partit. Do you think they’re going to tie up Anthony Zammit?

Actually that’s not very funny. Being assaulted is not a joke.
[Daphne – That’s because you assume that everyone is tied up against their will.]
So, what are you implying, Daphne?
[Daphne – Who? Me? Nothing.]
Had it not been for the fact that this lot will most likely be leading the country fairly soon, your blog would be more enjoyable than it actually is.
Well, Kevin, I am sure there are some who get up to – ahem – fun and games in the current administration but, of course, it’s pretty unlikely you’ll see them splashed all over the place here.
[Daphne – Don’t jump those guns. The star of this particular show is Robert Musumeci, who isn’t yet in the Labour Party.]
Considering the state we’re in, I think that anyone could do a better job than the current motley crew in government.
Whoa, there! – have you by chance noticed that the world has (is) passing through a whirlwind of a recession and we have hardly felt a breeze? Just take a look at Greece, socialist Spain and Portugal not to mention the US.
How do you think we would have fared under Alfred Sant or Joseph Muscat at this point?
Stop complaining, look at the world around you and thank God that you are living in Malta under a government with vision and goals and not under a bloated leader of a flock of wandering sheep.
Snoopy: Thank God there was an international recession since this managed to cover up the already precarious situation our country had been floundering it for quite a number of years: Structurally, our economy is getting weaker. Our institutions have been losing credibility. Our social fabric is being disintegrated.
It’s about time we all started to smell the coffee as we have been living under a number of illusions for a long time. By shifting attention off the problems by making a mockery out of the PL and its exponents shows nothing but a reckless attitude which does not just damage the PN but damages the country as a whole.
X’cuc huma Standard and Poors! Ghandna lil-Whoa ,there!.
@ Whoa There!
Seeing some of these photos and stories coming out straight from the Movement of Progressives and Moderates (sic), we have sure “lost our social fabric” and I am not sure how we are going to gain it again, if ever these are in power.
Whoa, there!
“It’s about time we all started to smell the coffee …”
Why are Labourites always telling everyone to smell the coffee? It’s a trait they share with racists.
Whoa, there! Do you think before you write or is it just a habit?
I didn’t understand the pun (or subliminal message?) intended in the title with “size 38 shoes”.
I note that you have spent the Friday night at home: you seem to be a lady who enjoys social activities (such as the ones illustrated in the magistrates’ photos) very much. Have you by any chance feared that some policeman could come rocking the boat late at night?
[Daphne – How do you know I’m at home? I carry on with this blog wherever I happen to be in the world. It’s one of the wonders of the digital age. No, actually I really hate those kinds of parties. I think they’re totally ridiculous at our sort of age – too damn try-hard. Everyone always looks so desperate and stupid, as though they’re looking for something they can’t find. The size 38 shoes: Anthony Zammit said in an interview that one of the men who tied him up (after using a key to get into the house) had size 38 shoes. He says he knows this because the man stood on his neck or face or whatever. I’d rather have been spared the details, quite frankly.]
Maybe this can give you some answers (or in reality can dispel the myth):

Well obviously I am not aware of the location from which you’re updating and moderating your commentary. I assumed you are at home since you are moderating comments in very short time.
With regards to the shoes of Mr. Zammit’s aggressor (I agree with you that I would have not minded not knowing these details), I am only now realising of the way with which you like to refer to people; i.e. by making use of irrelevant details which indeed do spice up your narrating, but which may lead to confusions by some readers such as myself.
Sincerely, I think you could have ignored such details, or better still, you could have spared Mr. Zammit of this article’s implication. Still, I managed to laugh after reading this article of yours.
[Daphne – That’s the spirit.]
Renato has more “hair” than ialmost three decades ago. ( http://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2009/03/28/ir-rok-opra-gensna/ )
What is it with these men and wigs? It’s about time they realised that a bald head is far better than fake hair.
I hope you rot in prison….. that is all you deserve!
[Daphne – They’d be very foolish to send me to prison. It would turn me into a martyr. And they don’t want that, do they.]
Rifsulek il-kallu mid-dehra.
A prison sentence for making people feel ridiculous? Well, isn’t that absurd, when they really are ridiculous to begin with.
@Alfred Pisani, I think that if we had to put in prison all those who deserve to be there, there would be no one to put Daphne inside.
There are bigger criminals in high office more deserving of prison than Daphne.
In Malta we need to learn to be more tolerant towards journalists, no matter how unpleasant they are. I believe in the freedom of the press.
Well, if she does end up there, maybe she won’t be alone http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20100212/local/allegations-against-magistrate-noted-by-commission-for-administration-of-justice
Never heard anything about the results of the police investigations about that brutal robbery when the learned professor was left all tied up. Thank goodness that the thieves did not break down the door that night as they happened to have had the key to the front door. It could have been much much worse. Any idea who the enquiring magistrate was?
Yes. He wears size 38.
Birds of a feather flock together.
“I hope you rot in prison….. ”
That is a bit strong, is it notVry Count of Monte Cristo if you ask me. Anyway I imagine you treat these comments as platitudes.
