Re. your third para.

Those are called ‘Fabian tactics’ – and il-perit salvatur was a master at them.

Such were the tactics used by a Roman General, Fabius, who tried to erode his enemy’s resistance by nibbling at their forces/defences in tiny ‘bites’.

Each one was, in itself, hardly noticeable or actually decidedly effective – so the enemy did not bother to much about the result. Until, that is, the ensuing damage was too disastrous to remedy – and that was that.

Excellent, the Police Commissioner orders an inquiry but will absolve Scerri before it even proceeds.

This is not good.

As for Silvio, always a bit of a wanker, ever since his days on campus.

A textbook case of how the dynamics of degeneration evolve, plain insecurity gives way to outright arrogance, which in turn opens the floodgates of abuse.

This is getting serious.

Soldiers , police officers, police commissioner and security personnel ordered about by the minister’s aide.

They stop you because you act responsibly because of repercussions(safety and security) and end up investigated on other secondary issues.

“Hekk hu go fik halli tara min hu , u kemm ghandu sahha Silvio Scerri”.

Four years nine months to go.

The basic philosophy of Labour governments in Malta has not changed over the past 50 years.

There is a successive erosion of democracy measured out daily in tiny doses. Each day heralds some little change that, on its own, stands inconsequential.

When these changes are fitted together, the horrendous picture of dictatorship and manipulation of the law emerges.

Brainwashed as they are, Labour supporters rush in their droves to support and defend their favourite team “ghax in-Nazzjonalisti farrkuh il-pajjiz.” Miskina Malta taghna, ukoll.
