This is Joseph Mangion, a police officer and voluntary guardian of the questionable reputation of Labour VIPs.
He came to prominence in June last year censoring Reuters photographer Darrin Zammit Lupi who was reporting on an Il-Kenniesa action on the steps of Castille that involved a mock Konrad Mizzi in a prison jumpsuit. Being himself a fan of Konrad Mizzi, he could not bear to remember his duties as a police officer to protect journalists in their line of duty and instead sought to hinder them.
His union boss, Sandro Camilleri, repurposed by this website as ‘Inspector Big’, defended Joseph Mangion’s outrage. What’s the use of being a ‘pulizija laburist’ if you cannot rely on friends in high places?
Here he is, in case you had any doubt, in a recent Instagram. The doubt clawed on our souls. This was a bigger question than who would be sitting on the Iron Throne.
Joseph Mangion, you’ll be pleased to know, is Voting Labour.
