Look, I have not yet read the whole Egrant report. 1,501 pages is rather a lot to read and it is not exactly stuff that keeps you at the edge of your seat. There’s plenty of analysis that still needs to be made. Also, Godfrey Leone Ganado will be, in good time, providing a series [...]

The socio-economic ramifications and the political theatre of the absurd discourse on these islands during these last years, programmed in minute detail years before same hit the stage, were nothing else but a treacherous act against the State. An act that had as its source the same party in government. Irrespective of the dark backgrounds [...]

One after the other MEPs stood to restate some very clear and stark facts. A journalist has been killed. She investigated corruption on which no action has yet been taken. There is justified suspicion that the prime minister’s office was involved in the cover-up of the murder, and therefore is suspected of being involved in [...]

Perhaps someone should tell them the court marshal could not find Keith Schembri so he can appear as a witness this morning. Perhaps they could have got Neville Gafa to find him for them. Or if not to actually see Keith Schembri, why was Neville Gafa going to Santa Maria Estate in his office car [...]

There are many reasons to watch Rai’s film from last Sunday. It can perhaps explain why the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia was never going to be a local Maltese story and that’s not just because this is the story of the killing of a journalist and journalists everywhere are bound to be interested in [...]

Perhaps it’s still early to work out what the full impact will be of the court’s decision today to order the attorney general to hand over a full copy of the Egrant report to Leader of Opposition Adrian Delia. In any case Adrian Delia still doesn’t have the report. Incredibly the AG is trying to [...]

When you find a disgraced Joseph Muscat and his wife on television carrying on as if they were the only victims of some recent act of God working in tandem with a hostile media, it's then that you know that these are strange times. They sit before the Super One cameras talking in riddles and [...]
