Dear Paul Bonnici

Will you please complete the picture and give us also your candid opinion about the  Malta Police Force/Farce in its previous existence during its MLP days under Mintoff and KMB? 

According to my own very close experience it was terrible, not farcical at all, and forceful only in protecting evil. 

Moreover survivors from that period would be recognising  already, with horror, an abhorrent resurgence of the similar  techniques.]]></description>

Yes, it is a real shame.  Why were the tough questions asked by NET &lt;em&gt;after&lt;/em&gt; the programme through an email?  Why didn&#039;t the presenter ask the really important questions there and then, while he had an audience, and while the police commissioner was on TV with him?  NET (and the Nationalist Party) totally lost the opportunity.]]></description>

<p>Yes, it is a real shame.  Why were the tough questions asked by NET <em>after</em> the programme through an email?  Why didn&#8217;t the presenter ask the really important questions there and then, while he had an audience, and while the police commissioner was on TV with him?  NET (and the Nationalist Party) totally lost the opportunity.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[The last episode shown on NET &#039;Iswed fuq l-Abjad&#039; revealed the inadequacy of our Police Commissioner in handling his huge responsibilities responsibly.  

He was just good at diverting the viewers&#039; attention to the peripheral aspects of the string of questions he faced. 

It was pretty obvious that Peter Paul Zammit is not up to his job because his political affiliations with PL prevail over serious ethical issues regarding a serious of episodes that should be treated more seriously by the Police Commissioner.  

The more time we spend under PL the more it is becoming obvious that citizens should be really worried by the incompetence of Malta&#039;s present government and the handpicked individuals who have been assigned top roles.

It is sad to note that the PN leadership is practically &#039;inexistent&#039;.  Hey, what&#039;s happening at Tal-Pieta&#039;?]]></description>
