Yes – it angered me in no small way when I saw it … ‘blind lawyer’ indeed!

How about ‘the very competent young lawyer who against all odds overcame his disability and graduated (and is working) as a lawyer (despite having to live away from home and away from his family, since he is Gozitan and has to commute to Malta for work on a very regular basis) …

Yes, again, despite the fact that he is, as The Times put it ‘blind’.

Go for it Kevin. You deserve all our support and admiration for what you’ve managed to achieve.

Didn’t he pull a stunt on Pullicino, presenting him with a sample of ‘poisoned’ fuel oil? He hasn’t yet taken it back now that cabinet extended supply before emissions tests concluded.

Calibrating the grade of fuel with emissions control was key, tests crucial.

There goes your cancer factory. The difference between Labour and the PN was always the degree of embarrassment if something doesn’t sound right.

It goes without saying that The Times would not do this. However true, it would not be correct.

Neither is how they are addressing Dr Cutajar correct.

Cabinet Secretary did the same yesterday when asked how come declarations remained on his desk for more than three weeks.

And if he believed the ones made by the PN why shouldn’t he believe Cardona’s?

Excellent way to render official his bias, the nitwit. Let alone this civil service’s discriminatory agenda.

Such behaviour is normal in a child.

When it comes from an adult it is a sign of immaturity.

When it comes in an official statement to explain a situation it is no longer a sign of immaturity, but a blatant attempt at deceit and slander.

It characterises the person or authority making the false statement.

We haven’t yet been told – and no one’s seen fit to ask – how many people on those boats were police officers.

There’s been much fuss made about women in bikinis as though that is somehow more offensive then men in budgy smugglers. Gender is irrelevant. This was supposed to have been a work trip.

Only two of the men are in uniform. How many of the other PEOPLE on those boats are serving police officers who were officially on duty?

There are 2 officers in uniform. One of them is obvious as he is visible on the first RHIB (left of the photo), sitting down; the second is almost completely covered in the other RHIB. He is standing and someone is directly in front of him…hard to make out the figure, but he is there.
