From the archives: by the pool with Joseph Muscat

—

One from the archives. A photo from one of Dante’s deepest Circles of Hell. Joseph Muscat hanging out in a pool with his friends.

Also did Robert Abela check on the loyalties of Colonel Mark Mallia before appointing him his own Chief of Staff? Mallia seems to be very cozy with Muscat’s friends. Also, Mark Mallia seems to be very fond of shallow pools. Don’t ask me why, but they all seem to be going through similar middle-age crises.

I can not identify all of the gang and the date is most probably Summer 2019. This is a very random photo that I have.

However, clearly, from the far right, we can see James Piscopo and Mark Mallia in front of him. Next to them there is Kurt Farrugia with Joseph Muscat in the corner. Next to Kurt Farrugia there is the previous Armed Forces Brigadier Jeffrey Curmi. Next to Jeffrey Curmi is a very familiar face, probably a Police officer if I can recall correctly, but at this point my memory fails me because my eyes are starting to hurt. I’m moving on to the next item as I let my readers do their thing in the comments section.

    Mark Mallia loves shallow pools and back doors.

    Can someone explain to me the appeal of such activities as the one depicted in this photograph?

    These (all balding) men have known wives and girlfriends, but they choose to hang out in a swimming pool with no woman in sight, half naked and practically rubbing sausage together. It looks like a scene from “Tal-Mu?ew” (where talking to girls is ‘illegal’), but with booze and cocaine. Utterly bewildering.

    If they were gay, I’d get it. The guy next to you may be your next romantic partner, but, you are not gay, so it all about “locker room talk” (as Donald Trump would have it)? God, the jokes must get boring really quick.

    Daphne Caruana Galizia would have had a whale of a time making fun of this picture. Sophisticated these men are not. A tonne of money and travelled all around the world but never really got out of the village.

    Next to James Piscopo is the former film commissioner.
    Next to Jeffrey Curmi is Joseph’s then (maybe still is) driver.
