After the film screening on Saturday I hosted a panel discussion with guests who had interesting things to say. But they were all men. That wasn’t a good thing whatever the context and whatever the subject being discussed. The fact that the silly all-male scene was unintended and due to some last minute cancellations from [...]

Christain Kaelin of Henley and Partners was having a big jamboree last week in London selling the citizenship of countries he does not belong to but which he behaves as if he owns. Kaelin likes publicity as much as the next hawker but he likes his interviews controlled. His face turned sour when Freddy Gray [...]

Several people sent me the screenshot below. I was so revolted by it I could not for several hours bring myself to publish it. Sometimes people expect that when someone one disagrees with utterly embarrasses themselves with their behaviour, one would gleefully parade their behaviour to score easy points. I feel no satisfaction in seeing [...]

Apologies for the quality of the sound in the first portion of this recording. Do persevere. It does get better. https://youtu.be/tYjYDhwRNcg

A full theatre was moved to tears yesterday by La Repubblica's movie. Not that there was anyone in the room who had not cried over this subject matter several times before or that they do not have yet many more tears to shed. But of all the many excellent documentaries made over the last 6 months [...]

Chris Cardona was drowning his sorrows in the sun at Portomaso this morning.

The Washington Post. Stop right there for a minute. Not In-Nazzjon. Not the Times of Malta. Not even Daphne Caruana Galizia. The Washington H Post says Malta is writing the 21st century book on how democracies fail. Of course by Malta they mean its government. And by its government they mean Joseph Muscat. Today he [...]

The press rushed down to the FIAU building last night after word spread IT engineers have been called in on a Friday night to change the plumbing. The agency later explained they were upgrading servers to improve capacity while sources from within reported management paranoia the agency was being hacked and needed to improve its [...]

Postage stamps: remember them? There's still a statutory body, a legacy of a bygone era, that decides on what pictures go on postage stamps. And while it's there, there's still the opportunity to dish out some iced buns. At least three Super 1 propagandists -- Clint Bajda, Clifford Galea, Owen Galea -- have now been [...]

Joseph Muscat spent the anniversary from when Daphne Caruana Galizia broke the news Pilatus Bank held evidence a Panama company in his wife's name received a cool million in its Dubai account from Azerbaijan's dictator's family cavorting with Christian Kaelin of Henley and Partners. This is the welcome he got. https://youtu.be/3BeDmlbb-VE Joseph Muscat and his [...]

In case you missed this comment under another post by Godfrey Leone Ganado: I must also make reference to a highly questionable transaction disclosed in the audited accounts of Keith Schembri's Kasco Holdings Limited for the financial year ended 31 December 2016. An amount of Euro 2,609,453 is showing as a third party loan receivable, [...]

No one can take your voice away and long may it sing and flood the great music halls of the world. But your decency you have given away of your own accord. It is not that you sang at an event that is so representative of the rot that has shamed our country across the [...]

This was broadcast yesterday on France's premier news investigations show.
