Read this interview with Joseph Muscat on Politico.  At first, you might think it’s a narrow tactical debate for the European Socialists in which Joseph Muscat butts with a centrist, perhaps slightly right of centre inclusive strategy. The context is quite straightforward. Socialists in Europe are trailing in many countries and they are losing the [...]

Salvu Ellul family “supplies illegal tuna to Spain” — report

Note: An earlier version of this story reported that MFF is part of the Elbros Group. This is incorrect. Saviour Ellul has separated from the Elbros Group before the occurrences described in this report. A follow-up report in Spanish investigative journalism website El Confidencial points the fingers at MFF Ltd, a part of Saviour Ellul’s [...]

That bacchanal was in the chapel of the official residence of the Prime Minister of Malta

It's not just that Joseph Muscat was letting his hair, such as it is, down. That video of a debauched circle jerk which I uploaded earlier was filmed inside the chapel of the Girgenti Palace, the official summer residence of the Prime Minister intended for formal state occasions. Michelle Muscat, who redefines the meaning of [...]

Mario Portelli, chief witness in the trial that acquitted David Gatt in an organised crime trial two years ago, has uploaded a video on his Facebook profile earlier today that appears to show him being arrested by the police to be committed to the mental institution. https://www.facebook.com/jack.bristow.507/videos/2484721218266560/ In his video, Mario Portelli claims that the [...]

Listen to this brilliant half hour of comedy at Malta's expense. Mark Steele's BBC series of send-ups of towns and cities made a stop in Malta for its broadcast yesterday. Brilliantly done and will be nice to watch the squirming of xenophobes like the Alfred Sants of this country, that speak of "foreigners" as if [...]

Consuelo Herrera strikes again

By

The case of a businessman who collected almost €90,000 of VAT and pocketed it instead of passing it to the taxman is another shocking indicator of the collapse our law enforcement and justice system. Judge Consuelo Scerri Herrera has this week let the gentleman concerned, Charles Le Brun, walk away free and keep the money [...]

President Coleiro, you’re not the King of Thailand

Faced by the scandal of corruption and international money laundering another institution fails us. The behaviour of Marie Louise Coleiro after the video of her saying there was “no legal proof” of what Pilatus Bank was up to was uploaded by the Oxford Union, is a stark warning to those who think they can solve [...]

Where’s the proof?

If the President of Malta doesn’t want to be criticised for her speeches, she should not deliver any. It is hard enough not to think of Marie Louise Coleiro Preca as just another agent of the Labour Party. Her remarks today about Pilatus Bank are not merely a disgrace to the office she occupies, I [...]

Everyone else is nuts

The fact that Joseph Muscat adopts the diversionary tactics of Donald Trump (though in their case you really need to wonder who’s the chicken and who’s the egg) does not excuse him. In reality, if you step back to remember whom Joseph Muscat’s behaviour is reminding you of, that would be Dom Mintoff. It’s really [...]

Within minutes of becoming aware of the UK House of Commons committee report confirming that it had seen evidence that contradicts Malta’s official version of events, Malta’s government repeated its line that the charge it met SCL before the 2013 election is baseless. Of course, there’s a lot that is upside down in the government’s [...]

A delegation from Repubblika led by its president Marion Pace Asciak met today the President of Malta Marie Louise Coleiro Preca and the constitutional reform steering committee. Present at the meeting for the steering committee there were Louis Grech, Owen Bonnici and Tonio Borg. At the meeting, Repubblika affirmed that constitutional reform must follow a [...]

Westminster committee finds manueldelia.com report on SCL and Labour contacts pre-2013 correct. Overrules government declaration ‘it’s fake news’.

The UK Parliament’s Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee has over-ruled denials by Malta’s government that Malta’s Labour Party “had dealings with the SCL Group for several years before the 2013 elections”. The SCL Group would set up Cambridge Analytica which would be at the centre of a major scandal of voter manipulation in several [...]

https://youtu.be/5oeTji9o4Es This is a translation of the speech: When Daphne Caruana Galizia was assassinated many were shocked. But few were surprised. For many years, and most of all in the last several months of her life, they stripped her of her human dignity. All that was left to do was to strip her of her [...]

https://youtu.be/kLuL9XaCW58 This is a translation of the speech: On the 18th November, the Times’ front page bore this headline: Daphne murder mastermind suspects identified – investigators It would seem, however, that these masterminds have disappeared into thin air because they were never mentioned again, and have never been caught. Is this yet another lie by [...]
