The case for the privatisation of the University of Malta
Last week, we received a letter by a lawyer threatening us to delete an article on behalf of his client. The lawyer, also happens to be a professor at the University of Malta. This story reminded me about the state of the University of Malta because it is unusual, to say the least, that a…

Now comes the censorship
No journalist, editor or independent media house is lobbying the government to introduce “constitutional protections” for journalists. This gimmick is being promoted by the pseudo-consultative committee with Robert Abela’s personal allies and propagandists including Carmen Sammut and Saviour Balzan. The main material and actual reform that the government is proposing, is to actually restrict the…

In an alternate reality: University of Malta heavyweights throw their support behind the Labour Party
As Prime Minister Robert Abela ramps up the criminal network of the Labour Party and attacks the judiciary, two heavyweights from the University of Malta thought it was appropriate to attend a Labour party activity to have “an intellectual discussion”. These grifting opportunists include Pro-Rector Carmen Sammut, and the Dean of the Faculty of Arts,…

Sold for just €18,000
So, this is why none of the committee members of the Media Experts Committee resigned in disgust as they were used to rubberstamp Robert Abela’s proposed authoritarian reform on the press. This committee was specifically used to divide the press and force through the most authoritarian reforms in the local history of the press. The…

Anyone remembers when Marlene Farrugia’s bill was rejected outright by Labour?
Does anyone remember when Marlene Farrugia presented a private member’s bill in parliament to decriminalise abortion in 2021? Her bill was unjustly criticised by Labour’s squalid intelligentsia such as Dominic Fenech who lied about Labour decriminalising abortion in the 1980s (that was ridiculous), and Carmen Sammut, the University vice-rector who argued that Marlene Farrugia’s “timing…

Why the Labour Party has no historians
Excluding Ray Mangion, the desperate sexual predator who would jump on any bandwagon passing by in fear of being left in the dust of irrelevance, the Labour Party is currently bereft of historians and the reason is obvious. No sane and rational historian, unless desperate, would ever risk their career and integrity to obfuscate Labour’s…

Of course their English journal has failed, what did you expect?
The Times of Malta has published an interesting feature on the Labour Party’s abandoned English-language news website. This now-defunct website failed in the most comical manner as the Labour Party couldn’t even find any decent contributors to sustain it. So far, it has been filled with infantile garbage which resembles a bad English translation of…

Where is the pseudo-committee of journalism reform?
Earlier this year, the government convened a sham committee of pseudo-representatives of the press, to present a set of sham reforms based on a sham proposal by the Prime Minister. I respect the judge who is chairing the committee but the judge has been put into an impossible situation as the committee is made up…

“The essence of being an intellectual is that one fabricates ideas about everything” – Hannah Arendt
After two years in government, Prime Minister Robert Abela has made his first albeit small legal step forward to reform institutions and restore rule of law. He appointed a committee to propose a reform in response to the conclusion of the Public Inquiry on the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia. The government has not missed…
