Beware of pigs bearing gifts

—

by

Mark Camilleri
in

I love pigs and they are adorable creatures, but that doesn’t mean I am going to eagerly accept a gift from a pig. And surely, I am not going to share a pumpkin with it.

I am very cautious about reports that the government is working on an anti-SLAPP bill along with other reforms to “protect journalists”. We have a dumb village lawyer as Prime Minister who has shown total contempt to free speech and journalism by turning the Public Broadcaster into his own personal propaganda tool. The so-called “Institute of Journalists” is filled with Labour Party propagandists and supporters and shouldn’t be trusted to represent the press industry in such delicate matters. Lately, several pro-government propaganda websites masquerading as news websites have cropped up online and these are also fully subsidized by the government. I am sure that the owners of these websites are members of the I?M. Government will easily use the I?M’s approval to pass any laws which it would deem in its own interest. In this case, the government may propose a decent anti-SLAPP bill given it is being pressured to do so by the European Commission while using this event to amend the press and libel act in its favour.

In a recent exercise in the banality of evil, Robert Musumeci told Jon Mallia in an interview that he opposed the removal of criminal libel which we amended ourselves in the latest press and libel reform. Musumeci claimed that this situation does not respect the value of truth. Now, keep in mind, that Musumeci is still one of the government’s favourite pseudo-technocrats when it comes to draft laws.

And the elephant in the room is this. We have a Justice Minister, who colluded with Yorgen Fenech politically and even received gifts from him in the form of expensive holidays. Edward Zammit Lewis, ingratiated with Yorgen to the extent of betraying his constituents and calling them a ?a?an. In reality, the joke is on him. ?ammit Lewis ingratiated and grovelled so hard before Yorgen that he appears to be the ?a?an himself in this story – a failed idiot sucking up to a business magnate for a job as he was rejected by everyone in politics. “He eats breakfast for politics”. More like a pig dressed like a wolf. And we are supposed to trust these people with a press reform?

Extended Version of Watsup Exchange between Edward Zammit Lewis and Yorgen Fenech. The exchange has some missing parts from Yorgen Fenech’s chats.

    Reading the exchange might lead one to the conclusion that EZL is gay or bisexual. Rijock had a very interesting post recently about EZL and a female member of the Opposition benches. If true, this might suggest that Mr ZL is simply polyamorous, as well as being a traitor to his party. I’d be interested to know if Mark Camilleri has anything to add to or support Rijock’s claim.
