I used the same title when I wrote a front-page article for The Voice, which was the Malta university students’ newspaper, I believe in 1999 or 2000.  I was Editor-in-Chief then and believed I could change the world.  There was blatant corruption in the way top positions at the Junior College were being permanently occupied [...]

Corruption, money and greed own this country. It is no longer a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, but a government of corrupt politicians, by corrupt politicians, and for corrupt politicians. Our leaders are frauds and liars. They are corrupt, rapacious, vile, and lead by deception. They think that they [...]

Owen Bonnici will be remembered as the Grima Wormtounge of this story. If you're not a Tolkien reader, you'll think of Squealer in Animal Farm. Or if you're of the Harry Potter generation Peter Pettigrew.  There's been one like him since the myth of Gilgamesh. He has allowed himself to be used by whom he [...]

But now she's angry. You owe the country an apology. You and all your colleagues. We'll get to that. Now do your job and kick Joseph Muscat out of our government.

The first response of the Labour Party parliamentary group after the appeal they received from civil society activists including myself to remove Joseph Muscat from office was to vote on an unanimous vote of confidence to retain him. I suppose it was to be expected. For three and a half years, first by the Nationalist [...]

For many people, including myself, the plot to kill Daphne Caruana Galizia started emerging from the shadows of mystery after the Degiorgio brothers were charged in the magistrates court for money laundering. They were, of course, already in jail having been charged with Daphne's murder. But as with all unanswered questions, the trail of money [...]

An intrinsic element of a murder plot is finding ways of pinning it on someone else. Chris Cardona has publicly claimed he is being framed by the real assassins. He seems to believe Keith Schembri has tried to get Yorgen Fenech to pin the murder on him. But there's a far unlikelier victim of a [...]

Castille has been briefing journalists that Joseph Muscat will give notice of his intention to step down by mid-January. That does not cut it. We will continue our protests at least until he leaves. Now that we have learnt the truth we are not going to stop fighting and let justice be taken from us. [...]

Sent in by someone known to me. Events have been moving fast, very fast, and it is difficult to digest, keep up and analyse. No sooner do you come to a conclusion that someone (usually Joseph Muscat) moves the goal posts. Let me see if I have understood. In April 2018, Vince Muscat, one of [...]

I first published the below article on The Sunday Times of Malta in July 2017. Some of it has not aged well. But I think it's worth recalling when thinking about why Joseph Muscat would want to stay on as "caretaker prime minister" while the Labour Party chooses its new leader. Nixon's choice In spite [...]

Myriam Dalli says she's angry about what happened. Saviour Balzan says Joseph Muscat must go. Chris Fearne says it's a serious situation. Evarist Bartolo is still talking about gods and animals in code. I'll wait for the right time to remind you that we weren't in a more privileged position than you were to be [...]
