In reply to curious. The Tower of London as opposed to Whitehall .

The Commissioner of Police has every right to avoid answering the pertinent questions of journalists but he must also understand that there will be a very big price to pay for any arrogant evasiveness. That bill will have to be paid by him, the police force of which he is head and the politicians who dragged him out of peaceful retirement to fill the unbearably hot seat of police commissioner during Labour days.

In reply to Futur mill-aghar. YES! Admission to the "Holy of holies" is permissible only once a year and only to the High Priest himself.

In reply to Signs of the times.

The way the Malta psyche works, having the printing presses of The Times burnt to the ground once, under the eyes of the police, would be only a silly prank by a few naughty hotheads having their fun and only a slight “misfortune” for The Times employees trapped inside.

With similar police officers still running the police force, risking a repeat arson, even in a good cause, would be “unforgivable carelessness”.

Sad, but true.

In reply to curious. @Josef The "central control station" was always Il-Macina or Castille in Labour days. The Police GHQ was only the substation where adjutants and C of Ps were upbraided for using submachine guns as paperweights in the august paranoid presence of the MLP prime minister. The Police GHQ also housed the torture chambers of those police.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. You miss the irony, Baxxter. Everything has a purpose, even a misnomer.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. Id-depot means something else and it's not police headquarters. It's where the rule of law becomes an obstacle to overcome in the name of government, the courts being the adversary to beat.

Isn’t it time we stopped calling it “Depot”? That’s a British Army term for a regiment’s recruiting area, and shows us up for the embarrassingly illiterate wogs that we are. It’s Police Headquarters.

In reply to curious. You mean the central control centre of any Labour administration. Power is where force can be applied.
