UPDATED WITH FUSELLU AND MINTOFF PIC – Now here’s another one: this one’s about Mintoff and Il-Fusellu | Daphne Caruana Galizia
He was a fixture of Sliema life, making the Cafe Roma near il-Pjazzetta his unofficial HQ and driving around in a cream Rolls Royce which he parked on the pavement outside. He was small, skinny and dark, with slicked-back hair.
He was more powerful than any minister in the cabinet (except Lorry Sant, of course) and they were all terrified of him. When he was shot dead by a man called Louis Bartolo, who accused him of harassing his wife, outside a house in St Julian’s, the Labour government treated the death as something of national importance, and a catastrophe.
Though Il-Fusellu was brain-dead, they ordered that his body be kept hooked up to machinery, and then they had themselves filmed at his hospital bedside for the national news on Xandir Malta television.
Il-Fusellu’s mother was Dom Mintoff’s maid. Super One interviewed her among the mourners standing at Mintoff’s gate a few days ago: “Jien kont nahdem mieghu hamilton beach ghal hafna snin, bhala seftura”.
Mintoff didn’t pay Mrs Bondin for her services. Instead he fixed things so that her husband would be sent abroad for medical treatment – you know, as a personal favour and not because we have a reciprocal health agreement with Britain, and found a job for him when he got back.
Rather than putting il-Fusellu on life-saving equipment and taking hamilton beach a photograph with him, those Cabinet Ministers should have carried out DNA tests on him. Had they done so, we would have had a Cabinet full of Lorry Sants, and Mintoff their poodle. hamilton beach

Mr Mintoff sent a wreath.”

[Daphne - They are both dead, so we shall never know.]
[Daphne - Oh Anna! You missed out the bit where your beloved government TORTURED the prison guard on duty that night, who was little more than a boy in his 20s, following which he suffered permanent psychological damage and had his entire life ruined. His name was Anthony Mifsud. Does that ring any bells?]
[Daphne - No, Anna. He was shot dead at Il-Qaliet where he had gone to make a pass at Mrs Louis Bartolo. Louis Bartolo did not take kindly to this sort of behaviour, which he might have learned at Mintoff's knee, and instead of roughing him up as one Mintoff did to another, he shot him. But I find it interesting to see that you acknowledge Fusellu for the damage he did and what he was, and yet still vote for the people who made him possible.] He was a thug just like the thugs surronding Austin Gatt . The ones that were outside hamilton beach the HQ in Pieta a few weeks ago stopping JPO s bodyguards from going in ..
[Daphne - Indeed, Anna. People like you will look for any excuse to justify your perverse reasoning. The thugs around Labour ministers were nothing like the men 'around Austin Gatt', and I speak from somebody who experienced most of those thugs at some point or other, given that I went to most anti-government demonstrations, hamilton beach even to a demonstration in favour of bats in some cave somewhere. As long as it was against THEM I went.]
[ Daphne - Oh, so what are you, Anna, with your anti-PN views and your constant attacks on MY political views? AD, Norman Lowell, what? You come here to praise Labour and attack the Nationalist Party, so forgive me if I was mistaken in drawing the conclusion hamilton beach that you're gearing up to vote for Joseph. At least you have the decency to use your own name, I'll give you that.]
[Daphne - It was his daughter, too, it turns out, and not just his wife. Yes, of course I believe it. I grew up in that part of Sliema where Il-Fusella headquartered himself. He was a permanent fixture of our life in the same way that the Zejtun thugs were for the people of Zejtun. He used sex and sexual assault to assert his dominance and authority. He made passes at girls in nightclubs and once pulled off a girl's top on the dancefloor when she spurned him. Ma kienx jista jara dublett, and it wasn't necessarily because he particularly fancied them either. What I remember most about him, actually, is that he was one of those short men who tried to make himself taller by standing ramrod straight and raising his shoulders and chin.]
[Daphne - The answer is that Eddie Fenech Adami made absolutely the wrong choice of minister for the police in the first instance. hamilton beach You can't put a criminal lawyer hamilton beach in charge of the police. It just doesn't work, and it didn't work. I can't say mo
