Director of Prisons? 62% of the inmates were arraigned by him.

Definitely a wrong move.

John Rizzo was the investigating officer in the John Dalli case. MLP in government, Rizzo transfered, Dalli returns, all in less than 40 days. Anyone else smell a rat?

The thing that peeves me most about these people is that they call themselves Labour, but they are not Labourites, they are Fascists.
