Simply not true – my sister had to spend 24 hours in hospital this weekend and the corridors were still packed with people.

Also a very disturbing thing happened while my sister was there: a nursing assistant put her mobile loudly playing the Labour Party theme and when the nursing officer, I repeat the nursing officer, told her politely to switch it off, she told her ‘Malta Taghna Lkoll’ and left it on to the detriment of the patients.

This week I shall shift to The Malta Independent.

[Daphne – Thank you, but I have one already. In fact, I might even have some over if you’re bored and would like some of my spare.]

Thanks very much, Daphne.

Your insight is timely.

Actually mobile telephones did exist 30 years ago. But Joseph Muscat’s Labour predecessors prohibited its use in Malta back then. Mobile telephones were considered a threat to Labour’s brand of democracy because they allow people to talk.

Time to teach the old songs to the new generation:

“Fil-kju, fil-kju, ħalli ninqdew,
L-onorevoli nistennew.
Fil-kju, fil-kju, biex ninqdew biħ,
Fil-Parlament siġġu tajnieh.
Fil-kju!”

Yes, The Malta Independent has been the ‘correct’ paper these last months through the electoral campaign.

The Times has been hijacked, and has had some underground ‘coup d’etat’ by some powers that be, who might not necessarily be only the PL – there might also have been parallel obscure intents. Let us disregard until it gets back to normal.
