WATCH: Deborah Schembri on the need to punish journalists for speaking freely

Deborah Schembri went on Labour’s TV station to say journalists who go “beyond a certain limit” must be punished.

Deborah Schembri, you do not understand freedom of speech. You do not understand democracy. The right of the freedom of expression is the right to cause offence, particularly to people of power, particularly to you.

The institution of a TV station owned and controlled by the regime in power is in and of itself a democratic failure.

Deborah Schembri is herself a corrupt, abuser of power who feathered her nest by lining up jobs for herself for when her constituents would fire her from elected office. As well they did. That she thinks she can use party controlled media to intimidate free speech is just what we mean when we say this democracy is no more.

That Deborah Schembri believes, nay, argues loudly from TV, that I should risk punishment for criticising her for abusing the power lent to her by the people, is just no longer acceptable.

Go. Now. The lot of you. We want our country back.
