Dalli said he had no idea who Gayle Kimberley was, either, when he met her to discuss snus

Yet at the time she was embroiled in an affair with Dalli’s close associate Iosif Galea, her colleague at the Lotteries & Gaming Authority.

    Did he meet Gayle Kimberley in his swimming trunks as well?

  2. bob-a-job says:

    Dalli ought to have known Gayle even before that, during all the years her mother was living with his friend Tony Cassar (Marsovin).

  3. La Redoute says:

    What is Dalli trying to prove? That as EU Commissioner he thought nothing of discussing major EU legislation with total strangers whose identity and purpose he did not know when they surprise him on holiday in his swimming trunks?

    He’s even more unfit for purpose than I’d thought.

    • ciccio says:

      He probably thought that if he was in his swimming trunks, he was not the EU Commissioner John Dalli.

      • La Redoute says:

        In which case why would he listen to total strangers talking to him about snus and the tobacco directive?

  4. La Redoute says:

    Dalli doesn’t know who anyone is. That’s why Muscat appointed him as healthcare consultant as cover for his real purpose of messing around with big public contracts as he blatantly did while EU Commissioner.

    Has everyone forgotten that Commissioner Dalli was periodically on our TV stations campaigning for Sargas?

    See the last few seconds of this video

      Oh, he speaks about Dalli’s contacts and that they could be helpful in attracting foreign investment.

      Just like what Shiv Nair is/was doing.

    Every time I see this photo I stop and ask myself… “Imma who would, in their right frame of mind, take a picture in front of an Italian supermarket, in a suit, whilst on holiday?” – Qisek qed tghid, a British tourist comes over and takes a picture in front of one of our supermarkets.

    [Daphne – Talk about irrelevant.]

    If Dalli John loses his case against Barroso, will he forfeit his pension rights?

    • La Redoute says:

      No, because he resigned. He wasn’t fired.

    • observer says:

      He will certainly lose face.
      He will certainly lose his dignity. Has he any still left?
      He will certainly lose a lot of money in ECJ fees?

      He may not lose the trust (?) muscat has shown in him.
      He may not lose Silvio’s patronage.
      He may not lose his (swimming) trunks. BUT,

      He will certainly not lose his stash.

  7. La Redoute says:

    How is claiming to not know Gayle Kimberley helping Dalli?

    Not knowing someone and agreeing to meet her – as EU Commissioner – to discuss EU affairs is the height of indiscretion at best.

  8. anthony says:

    He has no idea who Jesus Christ is .

    In spite of that nefarious thanksgiving mass.

  9. anthony says:

    All that Barroso needed, to prove his point, was to produce this photograph.

    It says it all in a nutshell.

    Associazione per delinquere as we say in Mafia legal speak.

    It is photographic evidence, if any was needed, of what Lawrence Gonzi burdened the Commission with to get an infamous Dalli off his own back.

    To Malta’s detriment, may I also add.

  10. curious says:

    Dalli should thank his lucky stars that Gayle Kimberley is not Silvio ‘Don’t you know who I am’ Scerri.
