Another episode in the series “The Twilight Zone of Maltese Politics”. Joseph Muscat says that Bank of Valletta ending up without a bank it can exchange US dollars with is because it’s doing well. If I were in the mood to be generous I could guess what he really meant to say. But I’m not. [...]
Or at least by their advocate. Maurice Mizzi, holder of what I have described as “the most pompous, highfalutin, bombastic balderdash of a title ever awarded to anyone by a republic” or “Guardian of Future Generations” should be in a spot of trouble because of his bigoted, racist, islamophobic remarks made in a recent interview [...]
Joseph Muscat and Adrian Delia yesterday spoke about racist discourse as if others had done it. I despise everything the Norman Lowells and the Patriotti of this world stand for. Norman Lowell openly denies the holocaust. He speaks about killing people in a way most people would feel awkward recommending leaving poison for rats. The [...]

Repubblika and Simon Busuttil filed a note in Court this morning with Magistrate Doreen Clarke whom they had asked to open an inquiry into the Panama Papers. The note followed Konrad Mizzi’s request to the Magistrate not to open the inquiry as he was filing a Constitutional Court case saying the law that allowed Repubblika [...]
Dutch daily Nederlands Dagblad spoke to Matthew and Andrew Caruana Galizia in Strasbourg on the sidelines of the Council of Europe meeting where they sat in front of Owen Bonnici who avoided looking at them like Lot feared to look back at Sodom. Here’s Matthew Caruana Galizia: “‘The murder was my fault, they said. I [...]
Here's my article in this month's Money Magazine: Business does not ask much from politics. That is a space where less is indeed more. Too much politics and it becomes harder to take decisions as goal posts shift and it becomes harder to predict what laws the business will need to be obeying a year [...]
