Not that I think they should. Photo reported in Times of Malta moments ago.

The UK Parliamentary Committee investigating fake news and the use of data and darks ads in elections asked the British National Crime Agency to examine the association between Henley and Partners and Cambridge Analytica’s mother company SCL elections. This website reported how Alexander Nix, the former boss of Cambridge Analytica and SCL, was in Malta [...]

Edward Cherubino, seen here next to his cousin Nickie Vella de Fremaux, was Adrian Delia's agent in the 2017 leadership election Various media reported in recent hours that local Pharma importer Cherubino Ltd has been awarded the first ever letter of intent by the government to cultivate cannabis in Malta for medicinal use.

We are now in the middle chapter. This is the darkest hour for the well-intentioned who have stuck out their neck and gave up everything they had to resist the complete take-over by Joseph Muscat and his entourage of underlings. And what an entourage it is. It is a cast of characters beyond any fantasist’s [...]

When several thousand people marched in Valletta six days after Daphne Caruana Galizia was killed, most of them have the same sort of thoughts. ‘I wish I didn’t leave her alone. I wish I believed her when I thought she was exaggerating. Now she’s been killed this way I know she can’t have been. I [...]

It’s probably a bad habit of many of my years (yeah, I know, ancient, enough already, I get it) that when my eyes open of a morning, instead of grunting and going back to sleep, I grab a screen-bearing device and look at the news. This morning, consequently, the Times’ headline about possible action being [...]

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 [...]

Sent in earlier by Joe Bloggs reacting to comments about the credibility of witnesses. The only comment that needs to be made about this charade is, the Panama Papers Seven’s credibility hinges on Mossack Fonseca’s, Nexia BT’s and Pilatus’s honesty, inclination to keep complete records and not engage in backdating, forgery or subterfuge. It is [...]

By Amy Mallia: Malta has fallen upon dark times and it has been a long time coming. The dark cloud started looming over Malta around the time of the 2013 general election, when the Labour Party were voted into government and Joseph Muscat took Lawrence Gonzi's place as Prime Minister. That was only the beginning. [...]

When the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists first broke the Pulitzer-wining story on the Panama Papers, Mossack Fonseca attempted to survive. It wanted to persuade its clients to stay on with them and to survive the crisis by simply changing the name of the intermediary they worked with. By way of example, Nexia BT in [...]

Since about last Friday everytime Joseph Muscat and those who work for him referred to Magistrate Aaron Bugeja, they added the adjective 'independent' in front of his name. 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 [...]

Rhetorical question alert. Are reconstituted versions of the shreds in these bags left outside the Nexia BT offices in March 2016 around the time we first heard of Egrant part of the missing 1450 pages of the inquiry report? Perhaps Kasco Ltd helped the Magistrate sellotape the strands back after they collected the bags that [...]

The Attorney General has turned down Adrian Delia’s request to see Aaron Bugeja’s inquiry report on Egrant in full. Quite apart from the fact that this underlines the absurd haste with which Adrian Delia bought into Joseph Muscat’s interpretation of things while he was being denied and is still being denied access to the facts. [...]

The author of this piece has been on this website before. Here's the link to his first commentary. And here's his comment today: Still a Fool's Paradise This morning I awoke with the thought of accepting for one moment that the Prime Minister was a totally honourable man who truly had no intention of being [...]

Remember how many stories were planted all over the place on Maria Efimova to discredit her as a witness and turned out to be false? Do you remember the prime minister himself saying she was likely a spy for the Russian secret service working on their behalf to destabilise the government and the country? And [...]

That’s a word in Japanese that is also the title of an early Akira Kurosawa. If you haven't learnt this about me yet, you should know I allow people to make fun of me at parties because I watch black-and-white movies with subtitles. Kurosawa's Rashomon tells the story of a rape and murder from the [...]
