So were Hitler and Mussolini during their heyday.

I would urge the NP to ensure they enquire as to whether Manwel Mallia finds it specifically necessary to be tapping Carm’s phones, to keep tabs on his contacts and as to which people are providing him with what information.

Dr Mallia has stronger personality? Maybe because, according to you, personality is gauged by being much fatter and shorter than Dr Mifsud Bonnici?

I wonder what that irrelevant Franco Debono has to say about all this saga. By the way, is he still on this island or what?

Unfortunately, this is having the desired affect on people, since most comments everywhere are about payment and costs.

The most significant issue is not costs, but having the Minister responsible for the Police Force ordering/requesting/being requested to do so, police officers to carry out a job that is entirely out of their line of work and being met with agreement.

This is very dangerous and goes against democracy. This practice may very well lead us to the Golden Years’ way of doing things.

At least Dr Carm Mifsud Bonnici did not do anything to go against democracy.

What do you mean by a stronger personality and better leader? That he tramples on all sort of democratic ethics with much more ease?

You know where the difference is? One is a gentleman and the other is a sorry excuse for a man.

By stronger personality do you mean hugging prisoners, while they sing Malta Taghna Lkoll?

Dr Carmelo Mifsud Bonnici was a gentleman – and a very honourable one at that – not a fat boaster.

Do not try to compare him to the present minister of police, please.

This because one would think that the food prepared in Floriana was also driven to Girgenti by police officers, in police vehicles, using police fuel allowances.

Nice way to ‘reduce’ the budget on hosting. One could always convince Joe public that the money was used for his protection.

By ‘a stronger personality’ do you mean a total disregard for the rules and a misplaced sense of entitlement?

But wait, one can clearly see what you mean when you go on to suggest that someone ‘would better be quiet now’.

Common denominator: arrogance
