Manuel Mallia’s immigration MOU with Libya – an update
Published:

Is that an MOU in his pocket or is he just pleased to see us?
Now France has closed its embassy in Tripoli and evacuated its 30 French staff. The Philippines is preparing to evacuate its 13,000 citizens from Libya. This past week has seen the worst fighting there since the uprising and overthrow of the Gaddafis in 2011.

He looks like one of those Russian matroushka dolls.
Very soon Joseph will have to park a cardiac emergency assistance team at Kastilja.
Bil-glekk bil-qasma hekk qisux…..

One point is being missed. Last time round the PM organized the evacuation of all other nationalities via Malta. Are they passing through Malta this time round?
Oh, and by the way, is the below part of his remit?

What’s happening here – are they removing the videos with the evidence against them? In this post here, this website had analysed the moment when Joseph Muscat tal-Muviment had introduced Manwel Mallia to the media as a Labour party ‘cutting edge’ candidate.

“Video does not exist.”
Besides the fact that when I look at Manwel Mallia instead of cutting edges I see only rounded masses, Joseph and Manwel had promised that Manwel – who was a ‘ragel ta’ success’ – wanted to “give something back to his beloved country.”
Now that we know that he is the richest member of the cabinet, perhaps Muscat should appoint him Minister for Poverty (Ministru tal-Faqar) and ask him to distribute those millions which he earned and which he saved – including those Eur 500,000, or was it Eur 5 million, 5 billion, 5 trillion? stashed away under his mattress – to the poor and needy.

It is also by his own admission that we know that he was a friend of Dom Mintoff. So it does not come as a surprise to know that Manwel Mallia is the richest in the cabinet: Mintoff the ultimate Scrooge must have taught him one thing or two about how to hoard for a rainy day.

Then there’s this, Tripoli’s main fuel terminal hit and over 90 million litres of the world’s sweetest in flames.

I really don’t think we’ll get any subsidised prices.

From the waist down, you wouldn’t know if he’s coming or going.
That picture has been photo shopped. Surely the minister isn’t that big.
[Daphne – Nope. It’s a newspaper picture. And yes, he is that big. Or rather, fat. In reality he is extremely short.]
Watch out for a Porsche Boxster on Maltapark.
Surely he doesn’t fit bucket seats. And he upsets the car’s weight distribution.
It is quite dangerous to walk ahead of Mallia.
If that button on his jacket pops. it will be as lethal as a bullet shot at close range.
Hopefully it is sewn with stainless steel thread.
China and The Philippines are evacuating their nationals. The Philippines is banning travel to Libya.
Imma l-aqwa li J DalliBA kellu ragun. The man is bloody delusional. Deranged, even.
The former EU Commissioner John Dalli yesterday told the Malta Independent that the events unfolding in Libya are ‘due to a big mistake committed three years ago, which has left Libya with the problems it faces today.’ – Hu gofik Barroso
Dalli is now saying what he had said originally only to say he had been misquoted a day later and retracted his words only to retract the words he had retracted once again three years after that. And no this isn’t part of some script from ‘Yes Prime Minister’ but is real life political drama under the current MLP regime.
‘Hawwadni ha nifhmek’ as Dalli himself used to enjoy saying.
I think he’s just feeling his wad.
Malta Today, this day, has outdone itself.
It reports that according to some Libyan acquaintance of Ambassador Mannie Galea, Martin Galea was not a hostage but was a “guest” of the militia that took him. It reports that Martin’s release was actually supervised by Ambassador Mannie Galea. Asked what part Consul Marisa Farrugia played the same Libyan source chose not to comment.
So it seems to suggest that neither Martin nor the person who Martin acknowledged as having saved his life are genuine and that our real hero is Ambassador Mannie Galea.
Incredible.
I just cannot understand how James Debono and Raphael Vassallo stick in there.
Why on earth does he button that jacket, if the sides do not reach?
Biex ma jiehux rih fiz-zokra!
That’s probably not a button. More likely it’s a rivet.
If that button popped it would have done Martin Galea more damage than any rebel militia.
The strategy is now clear. Malta will only evacuate when everyone else has so that it is spared the effort of organising an evacuation on the 2011 scale.
U tiffranka l-flus, hux. Minn x’imkien iridu jiġu l-miljun ewro ta’ l-NnG.
I say Malta can’t evacuate.
Not when they lose their core fuel strategy until Konrad delivers that is.
Tankers sliding out of our fabulously baroque waters under our watch and all that.
Do haberdashers still exist? Anyone got any spare buttons? Who will pick it up if it falls, or rather, flies, off on to the tarmac?
They became extinct ever since Harry S Truman left that profession to become president of the USA.
Mou, mou. Oink, oink.
Daphne, that photo is surely photoshopped. Have another look at the photo again. The legs are the wrong way round, surely! Look at the incline of the walk.
[Daphne – If you look right down you’ll see his shoes. As for the front of his trousers below the belt, he’s got what the older generation in my family used to call a ‘bazwa’. ]
I guess so. A fascinating specimen that basically looks the same from the back and front. All he needs is to wear those Venetian masks on the back and front of his face and you wouldn’t know if he’s coming or going!
I can see that he has a condition.
