Statement by Repubblika: A Maltese court referred Repubblika’s challenge to the power of Malta’s prime minister to choose judges and magistrates to the European Court of Justice. This is a very significant moment in judicial history. In Malta’s history as an EU member state this is only the fourth ever reference to the European Court [...]
They should be. God forbid they accidentally trip on something and end up in the bottom of some countryside well mysteriously carved up and distributed in several plastic bags.
If my pots and pans were always empty maybe I'd look like that. Meantime, could be worse. I could look like Konrad Mizzi at Ivan Martin's microphone this morning. ‘Did you plan to receive kickbacks from a murder suspect @KonradMizzi?’ #DaphneCaruanaGalizia pic.twitter.com/U0tUVNKZad — Ivan Martin (@IvanMartin89) November 25, 2019 Go away indeed!
The SIGMA conference will no longer be opened by Joseph Muscat who is presumably otherwise occupied. He was due to open the conference on Wednesday with fanfare. The conference is being held in Ta' Qali though the annual industry awards are being held at the Hilton Hotel. This is a screenshot of the program that [...]
The inappropriateness of Michelle Muscat's "charity" role should not be in doubt though for some that don't see through the condescending Peronesque para-philantropy it is. The Times of Malta today revealed emails written by Yorgen Fenech about Electrogas in the aftermath of stories published by Daphne Caruana Galizia about cash issues at that company. The [...]
Hey Neville Gafà, do you really think you can threaten me? I know I’ve been up your arse for a while. Your life got easier since Daphne was killed. You chased her down garden centres and cafés right till the day a bomb was put in her car. You must have smirked when you heard [...]
Konrad Mizzi's fans are all over Evarist Bartolo now reminding him that he owes his re-election to Konrad Mizzi's genius. What do these guys drink? Ah yes. I think they call it Kool-Aid. A Coress (is that a real name?) Gouder from Paola, constituent and obviously a breathless supporter of Konrad Mizzi warns Evarist Bartolo [...]
Almost thirty-five years ago women in Valletta marched in the streets complaining about poor water supply. Infrastructure was weak and water was rationed making life tough. Today water flows easy from our taps. But we have a different thirst. We thirst for justice. Tonight bring with you pots and pans. Make some noise. Call for [...]
From a young woman known to me. I am a 26-year old Maltese professional, currently working abroad. Needless to say that right now, my Maltese pride has been quashed and I feel the need to deviate from questions asking where I’m from when meeting clients. As colleagues read the foreign news and ask me what’s [...]
On the eve of the 2017 election Joseph Muscat wanted to scare us all with the prospect of re-election of the PN to government. The context was a Saviour Balzan interview he was giving on TV where he's being challenged about retaining Keith Schembri. Lawrence Gonzi, Joseph Muscat reminds us, appointed a -- skużi -- [...]
Evarist Bartolo has now specifically named Keith Schembri and Konrad Mizzi for the plank. I could say he’s only saying now what he should have said three years ago. I could say if he said it three years ago and had his way, Daphne would still be alive. I could say that if Konrad Mizzi [...]
BoV wrote to this website recently to insist everything is fine there. It was responding to my commentary on a Reuters story that an ECB dossier was distressed by how rotten things were at the Bank of Valletta. I said that situation is down to the partisan cronyism and tribalism at the BoV a bank [...]
Let me take you back to 2011. Lawrence Gonzi is prime minister. His chief of staff is Edgar Galea Curmi. In case it needs recalling there was never a suggestion that Edgar Galea Curmi set up a company in Panama or wherever to receive money from the owner of a power station. Or whatever. Cyrus [...]
This is a clip from the propaganda movies from 2013 when Joseph Muscat promised liberation from the tribal politics of the past and a new meritocratic nirvana where Malta would belong to all. "Malta Tagħna Lkoll". Here's Joseph Muscat's pride wife saying that she looked ahead to a time when her own children would be [...]
Here's Chris Cardona after his return from his Velbert trip not only promising he did not have a threesome with a prostitute in a brothel on government time but also promising the prime minister believes him. He's fielding questions from an interviewer at Times of Malta. "The Prime Minister believes me from A to Z," [...]
Here's Konrad Mizzi, star candidate of the Labour Party, odd, tall, code-switching, involuntarily smirking, apparently competent special offer of the Labour Party brand on the eve of 2013 election. He's giving an interview to Times of Malta saying why the misery of Malta under the yoke of the stupid and rotten nationalists would soon be [...]
Swedish daily Svenska Dagbladet reported that journalists in Brussels have been approached by a British PR firm hired by the Maltese government to spread misinformation on Daphne Caruana Galizia with journalists reporting there. The report is penned by the newspaper’s Brussels correspondent Teresa Küchler. Svesnka Dagbladet (known in Sweden as SvD) says that “this week, [...]
Thinking that a person who votes Labour is somehow inherently tribal and incapable of moral judgement is not only mistaken, it is inherently tribal and reveals an incapability of moral judgement. Voting Labour and behaving like a troll or even lying to oneself about what should be obvious are not mutually correlated characteristics. Nor is [...]
From my article in The Sunday Times today: "One of the responsibilities that fall on the Labour Party right now is to govern. But it also falls on the Labour Party to govern ethically, without a suggestion of conflict, without subservience to criminals that call themselves businessmen because they get others to push the [...]
