How the Labour Party slanders people with a little help from its horrible friends

The chairman of the Malta Council for Science and Technology has been found to have lied about two of his targets and has been ordered by the Courts of Justice to pay them €1,000 in damages plus costs.

In a normal country, his fellow board members at the state council would force his resignation, but he has done so much worse – including getting involved in a drunken brawl twice, once at a pastizzi shop at 5am and another time in the VIP seating at a music concert, where his excuse was that his drink was spiked – and they just let him carry on bringing their outfit into disgrace along with his unfit-for-purpose girlfriend who he shamelessly promotes.

In this story, Pullicino (for that is his surname at law; it is his mother who is Orlando Smith) repeated the Labour Party’s slander in the run-up to the general election. The plaintiffs in this suit have another two cases pending on the same story: one against Toni Abela, as editor of the Labour Party’s newspaper KullHadd (a role that escaped the attention of the European Court of Auditors), and another against the chairman of Malta Freeport who tweeted the story all over the shop.

And I have three cases pending before the courts on the same story: one againnst Toni Abela, who stuck my face on the front page of the Labour Party’s shoddy newspaper, linking me visually and verbally to a contract given to a company with which I have nothing whatsoever to do, and about which I know nothing, and two against the Malta Freeport chairman and Labour Party candidate Aaron Farrugia, who tweeted the story and then uploaded it on his Facebook page.

Incidentally, this file photograph in The Malta Independent is completely outdated. Pullicino has aged drastically in the last three years in much the same way that Mister Konrad has, though Mister Konrad is some 14 years his junior.
