Yesterday Karl Stagno Navarra, our very own Comical Ali, made a plea for sympathy for the wrong man altogether. It's incredible how capable tyrants can be of utterly misjudging the public mood.

Joseph Muscat’s corrupt regime bound crooks together with the cement of mutual blackmail. It was strong like a fasces, seemingly indestructible. But we held out hope that if we were there when a crack appears, it would all come tumbling down. It seems it fell to a dog from the K9 unit, an un-compromised, uncompromising [...]

The video is by Monique Agius of Newsbook one of the many journalists allowed into Castille at 3am this morning only to be faced by a curt prime minister answering four questions when 4,000 are overdue. To avoid the inconvenience of actually facing them properly, ministers walked out of the Ambassadors' Room while journalists were [...]

In an interview with TVM earlier tonight James Debono said we should be careful not to rely on what someone facing life in prison is telling us to try to save their neck. Anything Yorgen Fenech says about any possible masterminds higher up or even co-conspirators must be taken in the context of why it [...]

Statement by Repubblika, #occupyjustice and manueldelia.com This evening we have witnessed an attack on Maltese democracy and justice. The prime minister has exercised his disproportionate powers to protect his best friend if not himself as well from paying for crimes. Keith Schembri’s release is incomprehensible. Yorgen Fenech is being accused of killing Daphne Caruana Galizia. [...]

Keith Schembri released without charge. Cabinet called in spite of the prime minister's past statements that he was deciding pardons on his own, binding ministers to secrecy no matter their views on the situation. This is an orchestrated confidence trick that depends on our submission and acquiescence. We will not give it. Let's see what [...]
