Vince: Respecting officers who are short and fat and do their job properly is fine. Respecting police officers because they are police officers is not. The anger about the case mentioned above is that the police seem to have been unnecessarily heavy handed. Respecting policemen who exhibit that kind of behaviour isn’t fair on all the others who do a difficult job properly.

Any of you guys badmouthing cops ever been a cop??

Unless the government and the courts protect police officers in Malta like they do in civilised countries you’re gonna have this kind of thing happening.

There are of course bad cops everywhere and they are a small minority and they should be punished severly if found guilty but so do the numerous persons who were found guilty of assaulting cops, never mind this suspended sentence business.

The police should be respected coz they are the only barrier between democracy and anarchy in a country. I always respect police officers no matter how short or fat they are and if they rell me to move I’ll move coz they are the law.

Peter Muscat, as an ambassador for Gozo, you’re pretty embarrassing: can’t spell, can’t write, can’t construct a simple sentence, and can’t think. Maybe you’re a genetic cross with a goat.

@ Cora …. Good. Keep in mind that when I write V.M does not always mean Vergin Mary.

Try harder and you will comprehend much better.

@ Cora …. Gozitans have their own characteristics which certainly tal-pepe will never have.Pure Gozitans like myself are the pillars and the spine of all that is great, wonderful and reasonable.Wonderful Gozo is our earthly haven and heaven.

If to your standard Malta is a location, certainly Gozo isn’t.

Nevertheless, your response shows you do not understand our
( Gozitan’s) way of behaviour and our sense of humour. Try reading between the lines and never take all you read literally.

The post you referred to is the way we are referred to by the intelligenzia maltese.

@ John Schembri … Please note that we Gozitans have been enjoying ‘our style of Independence” long before you can ever imagine.

The “church’ realised that before the politicians did. We still enjoy it to our utmost.

@ John Schembri .. I prefer this Gozitan saying most : “Malti aharqu hu x’inhu”.

In your response to Cora .. ” we are all mixed’ you are ONLY right if you were referring to her and you. I am pure Gozitan and you cannot refer that tghis way.

Finally you should know that Gharb is nowadays full of ‘renegades’. lol

Pete , u r not drunk, perhaps your coffee is strong, if you don’t mind my leg pulling here’s one for you:
Which one do you prefer “Ghawdxi tajjeb aharqu” or “Ghawdxi tajjeb ibzgha ghalih ghax ma’ ssibx bhalu”?

A 99.99% pure Gozitan should be from Gharb.

A good one was when I was talking to a Pure Gozitan about finding oil at il-Madonna taz-zejt , we discussed wether Gozo would ask for Independence (KMB style ), his prompt witty reply was “WE Gozitans will give the Maltese people Independence!”

@ Corinne: Pure Maltese Pedigree exists, it is not applicable for Homo Sapiens. You can always ask Peter why he is LOL.
As regards our origin I think we are a mixed lot , to put it mildly.
