A revision of salary scales will not necessarily attract the “best brains” but make it cushy for the friends of friends, earmarking the inner circle in advance of calls for application and promotions…..Oh what a circus, oh what a show…..

” As the opposition member responsible for justice , i have , as expected , been persistently approached by various members of the Bench ——— ”

Now I expect all judges and magistrates to issue a statement denying Jose A. Herrera’s claims.

My favourite’s ‘The Masque of the Red Death’.

Red death. Very appropriate too.

“The finance minister’s utterly idiotic but ultimately harmless statements about his belief in a weeping Madonna who didn’t want divorce were given the coverage they deserved”

I’m not sure I understand. Do you mean the statements per se weren’t harmful in that the law went through at the end of the day so no harm done? It that case, fair enough I guess. Or are you saying that the belief itself is harmless? In that case I disagree.

First of all, all irrational belief is potentially harmful. Secondly, an irrational belief that makes a powerful man oppose a just and necessary law is clearly not harmless.

What’s this with the A. middle name of Jose Herrera? When I read his piece yesterday, at first I thought that it was written by some other Jose Herrera who needed to distinguish himself from the Labour MP, thus using his middle name initial, like Alfred C. Sant does, for example.

In reply to Min Weber. You kidding? If little Joey and his band of miscreants gain power, the Chamber of Advocates will become a Chamber of 'Horrors'. Brings to mind Vincent Price and the 'Pit and the Pendulum'.
