police delivery

Posted by Foggy:

In agreeing to provide catering and waiter services to the Minister responsible for the Police, the Police Commissioner has exposed his men and the force itself to ridicule and contempt.

A worthy commander would have objected strongly to being requested to provide this service and, if overruled, would have resigned as a matter of principle. How can those who serve under him now trust his judgement and integrity if he behaves as a mere lackey of the governing party?

    Prosit. This argument should also be applied to the minister’s presence during interviews for security service personnel.

  2. Bubu says:

    I would say that the Police Commissioner has trust problems not only with his subordinates but also with the rest of the population at large (those who are not fanatical Laburisti, of course).

    Keep this up and the ‘Force’ will make the Keystone Cops look like Mounties.

    “You believe how much we spent on the election, don’t you?”

    “Yes, Master.”

    “Dalli is innocent, isn’t he?”

    “Yes, Master.”

    “You’re cooking and serving, aren’t you?”

    “Yes, Master.”

    “There’s a good boy!”

    [Daphne – “Yes, Massa”, actually.]

    What if those who serve under him are also lackeys of Labour? The Police Corps is chock-a-block with Mintoffjani-turned-Demarco-boys-turned-Mallia-worshippers.

    Will the police officers be now in charge of filling the jerry cans with water from the public fountain? Given that the officers should be stronger than the Romanian maids, then the supply of free water should at least double.

    Can one imagine a few police officers strolling a pushchair in the streets of Valletta? That must be one fetish sight.

    Looking at it from another angle one might say that the Police Commissioner has served his main purpose and arrived at a use by date. Time for replacement after having served a main purpose of whitewashing John Dalli?

    He was certainly used and his non-resignation confirms his willingness to bend rules and rights when this is not right. How can he be trusted?

    If he permitted this because he didn’t know it was wrong, he should resign.

    If he permitted this knowing it was wrong, he should resign.

    There is no way he comes out of this with his own hands washed of a wrong-doing.

    Is he going to file a complaint against the Minister, in question, for abuse of power? For undue pressure? I hardly think so.

    What a sorry state of affairs.

    • Alexander Ball says:

      Who believes John Dalli is whitewashed?

      Thanks to Malta Today leaking the OLAF report, we can see that Dalli lied to the investigators (intentionally or not) and he asks us to believe that in a 15 minute phone call with Zammit, they never talked about an interrogation from OLAF that Zammit had the day before.

      What I can’t get my head around is why Dalli, a leading Nationalist minister, mocked by Labour as ‘Johnny Cash’ and hounded for years, is being supported by said Labour.

  9. Zuza says:

    Dr. Simon Busuttil, as is being shown, yes, most of the 36000 were wrong and also, unfortunately, most Maltese do not vote intelligently.

    They are easily duped and to add insult to injury are proud of it.

    If it was another country the PN would have had an overwhelming victory not otherwise.
