Second-hand, discarded buses which have caused, and are still causing problems on Malta’s roads, are indeed a resignation matter. Especially when the minister concerned has already had a string of fiascoes – BWSC, ARMS, FAIRMOUNT, ARRIVA ROUTES , SMART CITY !

What use is he to them?

Is he perhaps a useful form of deflection like a ” look over there” type of deflection that a sleight of hand magician might use or a freak side show to occupy the minds of the masses so real and embarrassing questions do not come up.

If it is comic relief then he has long gone stale and is now a big bore.

Let’s face it, in the real world of a corporate setting as an employee he would be out on the street looking for a new job in no time at all.

A fine day for common sense!

Hi Daphne,

Is there a possibility for you to emphasise on this really sad and unjust ruling: http://www.ipetitions.com/widget/view/494149

I truly believe that this poor mother did not deserve such an outcome. Please, help her out by sending this message to other bloggers. How can we help her?

So sorry! Make that Dr Spock’s grandson (not his son)

It is most unlikely that he would have managed to prevent Franco Debono from committing harakiri.

Writing from iPhone sorry damn thing won’t let me copy and paste link. Think sentence and reasoning behind it is shocking and sets dangerous precedent in any case where law has been broken. Hope gay lobby kicks up a stink and expect mellieha council to speak up as well. I take it therefore it is not ok to be gay in mellieha but perfectly acceptable to attempt murder. Times like these make me go down on my knees and thank God we re in EU and that I live away. What a sad a stricken nation.
