Your blog is the first thing I read when I switch on my iPad. It’s my only link to politics so thanks to you and your commenters I am aware of the path Malta is taking.

Daphne, chapeau!

We have to keep up with such an attitude for at least five years, unfortunately.

Daphne, you managed to make me laugh after a full day of work. And let Franco say what he likes. We are much more interested in what he does (did and will do).

You are doing a sterling job, Ms Caruana Galizia. In the scenario that the PBS newsroom is now nothing but another ONE newsroom, the PN newsroom is still in its infancy or still trying to find its feet, Malta has only one blog to refer to – yours. Oh how I wish that your blog was around in those infamous years of the 70’s and 80’s – the years the fools and the idiots call ‘golden’.

Frankie Tabone’s gone to sea
In a boat to Sicily
He’ll be back in time for tea
Our Commissioner Frankie

Frankie Tabone’s gone to sea
A big pony on his left titty
Laying out deckchairs for you and me
Our Commissioner Frankie

Didn’t Peter Paul Zammit, the Commissioner of Police, say, at the time he was appointed, that he will be working on the improvement of relations between the force and the media?

Isn’t the behaviour of his assistant out of line with that commitment?

If there is nothing to hide, why is the assistant hiding?

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. Frankie Tabone on a dinghy? That's the only exception I make to my firm commitment against the push-back policy. And I would call the 'navy' to accompany him out to the non-territorial waters.

In reply to Jozef.

What gets to me is the complete silence from the PN. If we didn’t know better, we’d think they were conniving in this whole sordid web of corruption. Perhaps they are. Perhaps there are skeletons in the PN’s closet which they’d rather hide than risk having revealed when the other side fires its riposte.

Simon Busuttil and the PN leadership have always liked to make a big show of being in politics to serve others. But sometimes I just don’t know. Are they really?

When you fail to stand up for what is right, you’re guilty by omission. This is not a court of law. This is politics, where silence is consent. The PN has given its stamp of approval to Labour’s crooks.

I don’t expect the PN to prove me wrong on this one. They never read this blog.
