I was a Balzan councillor in 2007 and can confirm that the camera was removed because it had not been effective in curbing bad parking practices and vandalism in the square.

It had not been installed to guard the bank which, I expect, had its own security system and surely did not depend on the Local Council to provide it.

Contrary to the impression given by Maltastar, the camera in question was not a video one but took still photos every few minutes.

Joaeph Muscat probably hoped that some desperate vegetable hawker would set himself on fire in Freedom Square, and that this would lead to the prime minister fleeing the country in a private jet, headed for France, whereupon he would have himself declared the New Ruler of Malta.

Too bad it didn’t happen.

It wouldn’t make a difference either way. If they think it is amusing, then it must be so.

Maltastar’s function is to reassure the elves, not to reach out to the unconverted.

Talking about “leader”, their deputy leader is highly entertaining too:

Will you still be laughing in 2013?

?

Is the pathetic alternative leadership aware of what the events in Tunisia mean for tourism in the Mediterranean? They’re too busy making hollow promises without explaining how they are going to pay for it all.
