    She could include in her next performance a clip of John Dalli, when he was interviewed by that French team. The best one was when he said “and that’s the truth” and then immediately shifted his eyes away from the interviewer.

  2. Neil (the other one) says:

    At 15:51 minutes we can see Joseph Muscat wearing a blond wig.

    Not a very enticing sight especially when one considers what the woman is accused of.

  3. Salvu says:

    We cannot even check whether this government is lying anymore.

    The MPs ran out of lies and/or they could not “coordinate” those same lies.

    So, their easy way out is simply not to answer any questions and leave it up to their leader to lie.

    Very serious accusation there, no wonder Cardona reassured everyone he’ll remove any restriction on the number of casinos.

  5. Stephen says:

    I love her conclusion.

    Here is another one we need people to watch:

    How about this parent, whose 6-year-old had supposedly been a victim of the so-called Sandy Hook school massacre http://youtu.be/eawM4_fZcLY (the rest is a long story, but easily discernible once you deconstruct it without going glazed-eyed in the process).

    And here’s a good example of how to dissect high-level deception: http://youtu.be/R7PQG5weeHk
    The deception is clear, yet paradigm shattering, and this most often overwhelms the clarity of the evidence for the mind to reject it. It takes several dissections to realise how it all works out.

    You want to know this and watch the prime minister’s interviews. Life in Malta might take on a new meaning.

  9. Rumplestiltskin says:

    She missed one clear tell tale sign: the deepening brow furrow.

    The biggest liar in Maltese history is John Dalli. He lied when he falsely and maliciously accused me of defaming him. I reality John Dalli defames himself on every opportunity he gets thereafter he blames some else. He is always the victim. In reality he is the culprit.

    To me excluding the lies he told about me, his most famous lie was his Bahamas trips and his charitable heart. Mind you he may be going in the right direction now because of the new psycho-social services business. Now there is some food for thought.

    Psycho-social, I am reliably informed that this business will be providing psychos to his clients such as Emma Corbin AKA Suzara Maling, Mary Swan, Lady Bird, Nina Petros, Myra Klein to help them socialise.

    Nice one Johnny Cash/Teflon John, keep up where it belongs. The good thing about this business is that there is no need for heavy investment in plant, machinery and equipment.

      Apologies for the mistakes in the above comment but I should never post anything when I’m half asleep. I hope you could get the gist of what I was trying to say.

      By the way, I am currently away from the UK investigating psycho-social services in Malta.

    You know if banks and lawyers/ shell company intermediaries were listed on every corrupt deal, the threads would be easier to follow.

    So many back-room interests interceding with the course of life.

  12. Kevin says:

    This should have marked as “ATTAKK FAHXI fuq il-Prim Ministru”.

    Brilliant piece, prosit Daphne. Psychology is fascinating indeed.
