PEPPI AZZOPARDI PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF WHAT’S GOING ON TO AN EX-COLLEGUE OF YOURS. WE ALL EXPECT A XARABANK PROGRAMM ON THIS SCARY MATTER.
IF THERE WON’T BE A XARABANK PROGRAMME IN THE NEAR FUTURE, THEN WE CAN FREELY SAY THAT ALL YOUR TALK ABOUT FREEDOM IS TOTAL CRAP.
=========================
Yes Peter, I’m taking bets at a hundred to one that the darling of Castille, not Muscat, he’s the other darling, will still be there in a year’s time. So TOTAL CRAP it will remain.

There could never be any transmission of data regarding passenger movements and there was a specialised computer system to protect this data.”

Who needs to transmit data when this same data is posted on Facebook accounts by the individuals themselves, telling all their admirers that they are off to London.

Did you ever think that he was arrested because he took photos?

This was a clear frame-up from the very start.

Labour cannot offer any better. That is why the election results show us clearly that the majority of the Maltese nation is made up of chicken brains and self-serving people.

A Magistrate declared this evening that there was no reasonable suspicion that former broadcaster Norman Vella had committed a crime and ordered that his iPad and iphone be returned immediately by the police.

Back in the flourishing golden years of Dom’s dominance, the motto was more on the lines of ‘dominice dirige nos’.

You can certainly vouch for that, I presume.

I have never been impressed with the manner in which ‘Domine’ directed/guided the police force.
