Here’s another one that is brewing. Our ballot sheets will be counted electronically soon. Agents of political parties will no longer stand behind a transparent sheet of thudding perspex breathing down the necks of officials paid to look for the next number on the ballot sheet and dumping it in the relevant pigeon hole.

Franco Debono is nothing if not a controversial figure. Actually, he’s a bit more than that. He’s the Commissioner of Laws whom Owen Bonnici described in 2013, when he appointed him to the post, as “responsible for removing conflicting laws and other legislation which the Constitutional Court deemed unconstitutional and in breach of fundamental rights” [...]
I always found the way political parties produce photographs of the crowds that attend their events a redundant, childish and irrelevant exercise. To an extent, of course.

How does Adrian Delia deal with accusations by his own wife that he’s a bully? By going on a radio station he only has access to because of his job and bullies anyone daring to speak about it. It’s not the first time the man was in a corner and put on the foaming at [...]
On the evening of Christmas you read on this blog that on Christmas Eve Adrian Delia filed in court an urgent request to see his children after 11 weeks during which he saw one of his children once when she asked to see him. Over the next two days you read on this blog that [...]
There was some kerfuffle this morning again at Great Siege Square. Around 8am my wife and a friend went to put some flowers and candles at the memorial. As they do. I sat down to watch their bags at the cafe’ across the street. Within about 2 minutes some 5 people came from different directions [...]
