It includes the word ‘sorry’, it is addressed directly to those who were hurt, and it includes a detailed account of what the wrongdoing actually consisted of.

Gents don’t waste your time with Mrs. Galizia. Truly she is excellent with words. But as she say “Simple things are hard to understand, it seems”, and it’s truly her case because with all her intelligence she can’t sense that she became a part of a propaganda machine of a political party. Instead of an individual, she prefers to be a part in the system, which she fulfils with flying colour for the blind sector of society!!!! Your time is up Mrs Galizia. Change your attitude please!!

The same individuals are still enjoying public office (would elaborate but it’s not the place). Never did I hear a condemning statement let alone an apology……..now what?

Vincent/Censu. Then again, maybe my eyesight is failing.

And there was I thinking it was Lord Moran, personal physician to the high and mighty.

I may be making a Chinese out of the sequence of media events but, I thought the Times brought this up in the first place with its anniversary article, not the LP, and the LP felt obliged to respond. Does this anniversary memorial of the barbequeing of the Times offices happen every year? If so, well its possibly down to typical Maltese dredging up the past; if its not, it look like deviation tactics at work. Lets all focus on Muscat’s bumbling response and argue how he couldnt bring himself to actually say “Our Party apologises and regrets the actions of those socialist hooligans”. In the meantime, the Finance minister refuses to concede to having committed a stupid, politically compromising act; the government is reneging on almost all its election promises and the budget announcement is being delayed because..what..surely not..they have to go back to the drawing board because they didnt get their sums right?? Seems to me the finances of this country are in the hands of people with missing fingers. This reminds me, arent primates short of a finger?

Colonel Sebastian Moran? The second most dangerous man in London.

“People in this blog are so narrow minded. No-one gave an apology for Black Monday but neither did anyone apologise for the “mizbla” and neither did anyone apologise for the bombings in the 80’s.”

Do you guys pretend to be so thick on purpose? Please, Herby, PLEASE tell me why anybody other then the Catholic Church should apologise for people being buried in unconsecrated ground, (still part of the cemetery as most Labour fans pretend to forget).

As to the bombings of the eighties, well I agree an apology is forthcoming by those who allowed it and carried it out. Note that once unofficial official protection was stopped, so did the bombings.
