IS-SKIET RISPOSTA hi l-aktar frazi tajba rigward l-imgieba stramba ta’ min suppost jiehu passi. Bhali, hawn bosta nies li ma baqghalhom ‘l ebda niskata ta’ FIDUCJA fl-istituzzjonijiet Gudizzjarji lokali, daqs kemm fil-Korp tal-Puluzijia u bosta membri Parlamentari. L-ironija hi li kuntrarju ghal dak li qed jigri f’pajjizi barranin (bhal fl-Italja), l-istituzzjonijiet tal-Gustizzja, Knisja u Parlament, fil-Gzejjer Maltin huma POGGUTI u jhokku dahar xultin.

Don’t they realise that there’s nothing worse than a disillusioned society, which is what they’re making of us.

Agreed, They have really let the side down, the lot of them.

Dan hu ezatt dak li ghaddieli minn mohhi. L-ipokrezija ta’ dawn in-nies m’ghandhiex limiti. Hawn xi hadd lest jipperswadini biex nivvota Labour?

“Sacred Cows” tajba!

There seems to be some confusion here as to what an ISP is OBLIGED to do at law.

Here is the position, in writing, by the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner:

“In accordance with Article 355AD of the Criminal Code, the Police are empowered to request any information necessary for the purposes of investigating a crime. In such a case, providing the information does not constitute a breach under the Data Protection Act, since further to their request, your entity is under a legal obligation to comply and thus covered under article 9 (c) of said Act, ‘processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation.’ “

Whoa There!.

Yes I know you’re not the one who mentioned Interpol etc.. I answered two posts in one.

As regards your point: I don’t think you understand what I meant. My point is irrespective to who did the post, but about the Malta police force having investigative jurisdiction on hosting services abroad and asking for information from them.

I think it is more than strikingly obvious who is doing the posts (hence the URL name) and Daphne is not hiding behind pseudo names, like you (mine is my true name at least).

You would have probably read that her hosting service (ISP) was contacted various times for information. That information is (in my lay opinion) reserved to the ISP and the owner of the URL. Unless there are issues of international security or some TRUE criminal factors etc.. which as I stated before, a denim skirt does not constitute such a case.

[Daphne – In fact, when the police were investigating the arson attack on our home four years ago, they demanded a list of phone numbers of those present in the immediate vicinity of the house at the time of the attack, from Vodafone and Go, but both companies refused to relinquish the information, citing the Data Protection Act, and the matter went to court.]

Yes Mandy. This is – in a small way – a throw back to the 80s.

The Police are still fighting to protect the Sacred Cows of the island. Only now they don’t sit in Parliament.

Daphne: Now, really, to allege that Robert Musumeci may not be Nationalist, now, simply because he may have a partner who you say is a Labourite is grand.

[Daphne – That’s NOT what I meant. His mistress – quit the partner, please, because it’s ridiculous – is not ‘just’ a Labourite, but a prime mover in the Labour Party, organising ‘meet Jason Micallef’ (not any more) and ‘meet Charlon Gouder’ intimate parties and playing political chess games. I think Victor Scerri had better examine very, very carefully who might have shopped him to Labour. And I think Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando had better do the same. Once your loyalty to the party (and this applies to Labour too, as you know) is in doubt, once you are seen as the weakest link, then first a fence is a put around you and later you are let go. Musumeci is making all this fuss and seeking to blame others because he cannot face the fact that he put a large rocket under his own life and political career through his own choices. No one else is to blame. Only he is. The fact is that electors appear to have understood this: he won’t be elected even if he stands for the casual election, because he just doesn’t have the votes.]

I know many MPs and candidates from both sides of the House who have partners with differing political orientations.

At the end of the day, Daphne, you can’t just always paint people good or bad, worthy or unworthy, honest or dishonest according to their political affiliation.

Until we get rid of this now overcooked partisan mentality, we won’t move forward as a country.

[Daphne – I don’t judge people according to their political orientation. I assess them according to their character. I would have held these two in low regard whatever they voted – and in fact, they vote differently, or did so up until now. Unfortunately, people of a certain kind of character tend to be attracted to the Labour Party. It’s the reason why the ‘new faces’ Labour is attracting are really nothing more than shoddy characters.]
