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 [...]
Like you, I just want a credible and worthy government to sail Malta and Gozo out of these stormy waters. I want truth and justice. But oh, what a thorn I continue to be in the side of those who close blind eyes to wrongdoing. I have been asked many times not to divide the [...]
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 [...]
This is not an opinion on Christian Democratic belief. In view of centuries old evidence, ascribed by historical and political philosophers, that there is a strong relationship between Christianity and democracy. This piece discusses the sources that oblige the actors of political society to consistently display a high moral political legitimacy. Wherever this most important [...]
