“Il-pulizija ghamlet investigazzjoni u il-Qortu tat decizzjoni” he said.

But no, the court’s decision was not based on any kind of investigation. The court declared that there was no basis to investigate in the first place and in this case Noman Vella was not the accused but the Commissioner of Police was the accused..

When they justify dubious appointments as being positions of trust, then it follows that when said appointees fuck up, you carry the can.

It’s useless wearing blue ties and make people believe this is a ‘moviment gdid’.

I am glad everything turned out well for Norman, and a big well done to Karol Aquilina and Therese Comodini Cachia for their great work.

Even though the result arose from a consultative referendum with no obligation on government, I thought that Dr Gonzi should have, at worst, abstained.

I wasn’t too sure that I bought into the story of voting ‘no’ due to matters of conscience. I thought it was simply Dr Gonzi’s staunch Catholic beliefs doing the talking there or that he was simply being hard headed. Yet this conclusion did not convince me either because it doesn’t add up.

I have been mulling over this since: Why did Dr Gonzi vote against divorce?

Luciano Busuttil’s comments, however, supply me with the only solution.

We may debate whether Dr Gonzi and others should have voted yes or simply abstained endlessly. This, however, is not the heart of the matter. What matters and what most people missed out is that Dr Gonzi actually had a conscience that guided him. His decisions right or wrong were always guided by ethics and moral principles. That was his style of government and leadership.

Perhaps I am stating the obvious or echoing what has already been said. I do however want to use this to contrast to Muscat’s stance on all the real issues we are facing as a country.

On illegal immigration, for example, the Times reports that: Muscat “also said that Malta was ready to enter into a repatriation agreement with Libya but it could not do so because the EU had as yet not accepted that the situation in Libya was stable.”

(http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20131030/local/malta-proposes-to-cut-eu-aid-to-african-countries-that-do-not-accept-migrants.492526)

The right thing to do is not to repatriate these immigrants simply because their life is in danger and not because the EU has not labelled Libya as safe. Muscat cares less about doing the right thing to ensure the safety of human life.

Similarly, he has elevated alleged fraudsters to positions of trust. He and his friends are systematically raping the island from its money, its resources, its industrial strengths, its reputation and its position to be a shining example of friendship and peace within the EU.

The cherry on the cake is the ludicrous comment by Luciano Busuttil who believes that a court judgement is litter and that Norman Vella is still guilty of something. Has Dr Busuttil learned anything substantial from his various law courses?

Where does that leave us all? We have a soul-less government who’s selling us all to the highest bidder.

I keep reciting the quotation by Martin Niemöller:

“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out–
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out–
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out–
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me–and there was no one left to speak for me.”
