He is a genius and a great athelete and a good person. The country of Malta has lost an invaluable asset, and patriot.

Whoever is behind this should be ashamed of himself and well done for losing one of the best army officers Malta has ever had.

Jahasra! Seven transfers!
I really feel for you, miskin.
I hope you ‘make your part’ now and piss off.

For those who feel that this situation does not concern them I recommend that they read Martin Niemöller’s poem on Nazism.

Colonel Attard, the few remaining honest people of this country salute you.

The least they could have done was to give him an appointment at Castille to advise on matters pertaining to the military, like he surely did when there was the trouble in Libya. Shame on them.

All too true, but to a point.

John Spiteri stayed on because he felt that someone had to stay on to fight the rot. He proved his mettle when he was responsible for the army which surrounded the counting hall during the elections in 1987, and the Labour Party wanted a halt to the counting of votes.

Typical Labour.

Shame on the government and respect to Colonel Attard for taking this stand.

I wasn’t looking for an answer, but my belief is that detention centres only serve to depict migrants as criminals, reinforce the racist thinking in most Maltese, add to the burden of mental illness among migrants, take funds which could be better used for integration of migrants and I doubt they make the Maltese popular with migrants.

There is also no evidence that having detention centres deters new arrivals.

We agree on one thing ‘spite’ but trust me they earned it, as for the stupidity part I am doing quite well thankyou very much, maybe if they they did not give my father 7 transfers in 1987-1988 things would have been different and I wouldn’t have worked so hard and made my part to get rid of them!

I am sure you never expected Tweedledum Mallia to know all this.
