Great, now we have Meinrad Calleja’s defence lawyer fishing about in the state’s security services
In The Malta Independent, today:
Opposition MP Jason Azzopardi accused the government of undue partisanship in the field of home affairs – including in the security services – in parliament this evening.
Dr Azzopardi said that Home Affairs Minister Manuel Mallia and his chief of staff had held a meeting with applicants for the Malta Security Services before they were transferred them, stating that such a practice was unheard of and dangerous, given the information the MSS can access.
“No minister has ever interfered in the security services’ operations,” the MP insisted.
Dr Azzopardi said that while the ministry may bring up a staff shortage of staff at MSS as a reason for what had happened, this did not justify such actions.
“Of course there is a shortage… not everyone who wants to work at MSS is fit to be there,” he remarked.

After months inundating her Facebook wall with subtle political messages (always ‘positive’), that little pest Ramona Frendo has been unusually quiet.
Apparently, iced buns taste good. However in this case the saying becomes ‘A moment on the lips, a lifetime in the skips’.
Of course, after the hammering they got on their suggestions to improve the judiciary.
What about the wholesale and illegal use of the telephone-tapping equipment to eavesdrop on the conversations of those that are deemed to be enemies of Malta Taghna Lkoll?
You mean business rivals surely?
They wouldn’t do that.
Your email please?

The guy in the first photo, seen between Meinrad’s wife and Mallia, has taken quite a few acres of land in Selmun (limits of Mellieha).
I think his name is Raymond and he’s turned a picturesque country road into a rubble tip.
Ghax Malta taghna lkoll.
What’s his name?
This is exactly what Alan Deidun was talking about on TvHemm. The manner in which ‘touched’ land gets to be touched further
Ghadkom xi dubju li l-MSS mhux se ssir kazin politiku u tintuza sabiex tinvestiga nies bi pricipji Nazzjonaisti biss?
Fi zmien gvernijiet Laburisti dejjem hekk gara u anke l-Pulizija dejjem intuzat bhala strument politiku ahseb u ara l-MSS.
M’hemmx dubju li l-Ministru jkun informat il-hin kollu lil min u x’tip ta’ investigazzjonijiet ser ikunu qieghedin isiru min din l-iskwadra hekk importanti li ghandha access ghal kollox u anke poteri importanti u kbar.
No doubt whatsoever. In fact we should all learn the trick of “invisibility” that Joseph Muscat aspires to because tracking takes place all the time and today information is digital and available.
Digital invisibility should be a priority for us.
Some areas are unavoidable but others should be taken into consideration. Step 1. Use the ATM more and pay in cash, even abroad when travelling overland. It’s easy to use a card but this locates you instantly. Be conscious of traceability from ATM to ATM.
Step 2. Think of using an untraceable pay-as-you go SIM card and change it with appropriate frequency.
Step 3. Don’t trust employees or fellow co-workers: this government gets everywhere and ‘works with everyone’. It already did when it was in the opposition.
Sounds paranoid. But isn’t.
