If we had to drag the human rights issue into this equation as we are doing with illegal immigration, the results would be visibly catastrophic and to the detriment of the nation is general.

[Daphne – You cannot be serious.]

Of course they are, ciccio. Just take a look at their ‘historic’ rowd mepp. No GPS back then.

We can do it the other way round. We can send thousands of sms’s to Franco – out of courtesy, we will space them out at intervals of a few minutes each. We will be very meticulous in our proposals – we will even tell him where to put his commas, full stops and apostrophes.

We can text him at every hour of the day, including at midnight, one o’clock, two o’clock in the morning…

I am sure he will be in a position to receive our sms’s because his mobile “anke mitfi jdoqq.”

I would go one better : the abolition of time-barring for political offenders discriminates between those who corrupt and the corrupted and I doubt very much whether it will survive the scrutiny of the ECHR as Judge Bonello posited.

If on the other hand, the maximum period of detention for such an offence is increased, the period for the offence to be time-barred would increase automatically. This would be a more satisfactory solution.

And the President of Malta wants US to vote on the Constitution when even the party wise men of both parties did not even smell what can go “behind the scenes”.

“Innehhu l-ligi tal-preskrizzjoni ghall-politici dwar reati relatati mil-korruzzjoni.”

So there, Labour’s most important “proposta” in their fight against the crime of corruption would result in the breach of human rights, and hence the constitution.

And this by the party that proposes to reform the constitution.

I just hope that the Labour regime is not using Judge Giovanni Bonello to do a backtracking on its proposal. They have a tendency to manipulate others – it’s part of their philosophy of “the end justifies the means.” And they also have a history of “U-turns” for wrong policy.

Yes, well, we’re rewriting the Constitution, aren’t we? And it’ll be put to popular vote, and Franco will text each and every one of us constantly at all hours to make sure he gets his way.

Well Nighthawk, that just goes to show that reconciliation was just a load of bs. Not only was he kept as inspector but went all the way up to superintendent!
