Comments on: So in 40 years’ time, will the French socialists be boasting that it’s thanks to their brave and heroic initiative in 2013 that the wearing of trousers by women was finally decriminalised? https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2013/02/so-in-40-years-time-will-the-french-socialists-be-boasting-that-its-thanks-to-their-brave-and-heroic-initiative-in-2013-that-the-wearing-of-trousers-by-women-was-finally-decriminalised/ Daphne Caruana Galizia is a journalist working in Malta.

The French. The people who drive on the right, yet still have an archaic (but still very much enforced) regulation that requires that one gives way to traffic coming from the RIGHT (as is the logical practice in countries that drive on the LEFT, like Malta and the UK).

So instead of repealing this regulation, instead they litter the country with “You do not have priority” signs at roundabouts and suchlike where giving way to traffic on the right i.e. those entering the roundabout would cause havoc.

Yesterday evening, on One Radio’s news bulletin at 6:15 (usually it starts at 5:45 but due to a live transmission of a political event, the news started off 30 minutes later than the normal time), it was announced that three businessmen’s assets were frozen.

[Daphne – I’ve deleted the rest of the comment. It is illegal to post information on those garnishee orders, or rather the names of the individuals involved. That is why the media immediately used the story and then equally immediately removed it. Telephone calls from the police, I imagine. This is not done to protect the individuals. It is done to protect the police investigation. I know exactly who they are and what is happening, and have done for the last 10 days or so (because I worked it out for myself by doing a bit of research on the MFSA company registry website, so you’re wrong on that score. ]

He could then claim credit for abolishing poverty and raising standards of living.

Selective memory at its worst.
