They’re just cowards.

Yea, a fee for what?

[Daphne – It wasn’t a fee, but extortion, and right under Farrugia Sacco’s nose. There were 11 ‘imputati’ and he took Lm3 off each of us: more than a week’s wage 26 years ago.]

No, it’s not clever at all. And that’s precisely my point.

This begs the question: why did so many people let her get away with so much for so long?

Why is the magistrate so troubled with the pictures she herself made public?

Thanks for reminding us about Black Monday. I was in England when it happened and got a running commentary on the phone from my sister. Still puts shivers down my spine. Daphne, I was a front-liner then and know exactly what police surveillance is. We had it 24/7. We used to run them bunch of boy scouts in circles. Go get them girl.

There are many more like me who, although they don’t write, will be there if it comes to the crunch. And we won’t just be behind you but in front of you as well.

Are there any real journalists left in Malta? Wheels within wheels: we have come to a very sorry state in this island of ours. Where is our Hercules to clean up our “stables”?

Even a gagging order would not have stopped you. And the magistrate knows it. Consie, it’s useless ”cusing” Daphne. The truth is out and it is obvious you are no longer in a position to judge anyone.
Kindly have some decency and remove yourself.

I guess you meant Anglu Farrugia’s.

And the one beneath is not Robert.
I think she’s careful not to claim you defamed her for writing things that would –in the process – expose her more than the miniskirt did.
It’s a mind game now. But I’m sure you’re up to it.
