And so the paranoia increases

The head of the civil service and cabinet secretary (the first appointment Joseph Muscat made, on March 11), 1980s GWU man Mario Cutajar, has begun securing his office in the Auberge de Castille with an intercom and camera, and an electric entry-system for his ‘personal’ staff.
Given that outsiders can only get into the building by passing through army security at the two entry points, we can only conclude that it’s the insiders he’s afraid of.
This ex union man has developed a reputation already for screaming and shouting into the phone, complete with colourful language, so the mitigating effect of the secure door will come as a relief to those who must beaver away in the surrounding corridors.

The uncivilised as Head of the civil service.
Now, seriously, if Labour high-level appointees don’t even seem to trust their own staff, how long will it take for staff at all levels to be screened for political leanings?
Things just keep getting worse, and the whole ‘naħdmu ma’ kulħadd’ mantra never rang more hollow.
It’s already being done thanks to the ‘street-leaders’ i.e. Censa tal-kantuniera.
Baqa jiftakar mela meta (dejjem skond ma kienu qal il-gvern tal-Labour) minkejja s-suldati ghaqda mal-bieb ta’Kastilja, u kemm Alla halaq nies Laburisti ohra fil-binja, kien dahal ragel u spara fuq Mintoff.
Ghal hekk, biex kollha issa nkunu ‘positive’ nistghu noqoghdu mohhna kwiet li ser ikun hemm skuza inqas biex xi hadd imur jahraq it-Times.
There are 3 entry points now: the reception entrance, the PM’s entrance and now, the new ‘Customer Care’ entrance biex tidhol ha tinqeda.
