Once Mario Dingli enjoys reading my letters due to the “fun” he gets, may I give him some more “fun” to make his day. In his reply to a letter of mine, he says that it is this government which is being “divisive” when President Emeritus Eddie Fenech Adami and former prime minister Lawrence Gonzi are not invited to the VVIP area at the Upper Barrakka Gardens during the official reception in honour of Prince William.

Had Dingli consulted the official order of precedence, he would have soon discovered that former presidents of Malta as well as former prime ministers do not appear in the first 16 places on that list.

Considering also the fact that the VVIP area was restricted to just 65 people – I understand due to a request by the British security services – there was no way that Fenech Adami and Gonzi could be accommodated. Neither were Ugo Mifsud Bonnici, George Abela, Alfred Sant and Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici.

I honestly hope that Dingli can now enjoy the “fun” of realising that the “divisiveness” he wrote about was just a figment of his very fertile imagination!
