They used to say the PN was a party of lawyers. I suppose that is why sometimes I get mistaken for one. But even if most of the old-timers have been chased away, it is surprising how far Adrian Delia has gone to recruit lawyers for party business. Today's court protest against the Attorney General's [...]
They’re calling them terms of reference for mediation. I look at that phrase, and when I try to unstick it from notions of Middle East Peace processes or the Paris talks on South Vietnam, I am not left with the faculties to comprehensibly apply it to Malta’s opposition party. Let’s try to untangle this, shall [...]
I understand people who would rather just put things behind them. Egrant has been in our vocabulary for two years. There have been protests, an election out of its time blamed on the crisis, very, very harsh words. Then a journalist was killed, and apart from the people who have acid for blood, most [...]

No one throws a redundant adjective for nothing. They could have called him 'bipedal', 'law graduate', 'clothed'. All are as obvious as his independence. In that adjective [...]
Ranier Fsadni's argumentation is based on the premise that there is no link between Egrant and Joseph and Michelle Muscat and that for whatever reasons that may have started this in the first place, the PN and Simon Busuttil have been wrong about this all along. What should be done now? And what should be [...]
