Another Labour troll appointed Ambassador
Another popular Labour troll has joined the list of iced-bunned ambassadors. Maria Camilleri, who has a Facebook account that is mostly used to share stupid Labour Party invectives and other unhinged stuff, has been appointed as Malta’s non-resident ambassador (High Commissioner) to Malaysia. This does not mean that her stupidities and invective on Facebook will…

Asked earlier today by Newsbook whether he believes the jury system should be reformed following the acquittal of Lorin Scicluna over the murder of Lassane Cissé, Home Affairs Minister Glenn Bedingfield was uncommittal.

Let’s not deceive ourselves: evil is winning

Normality in liberal-democratic society comes with a collective consensus about basic morality and constitutional rights. Let’s be brutally honest: we don’t have this at the moment, and we are currently living…

The Mafia has a bleeding heart according to Times of Malta
The debate about the budget is becoming so banal and ridiculous that Times of Malta has now successfully projected the Mafia’s bleeding heart for the third-country’s nationals who will be paying for their bus service.

Mind the Gap
Following closely what the Finance Minister says and does, lately he gives the impression that he is living in a totally different world. Just last week, the Finance Minister told us that he doesn’t want to modify energy subsidies so as not to prompt negative economic sentiment by inducing rumours that the government’s finances are…
