A group of Italians have started a website called Mafia Leaks on the same principle as Wiki Leaks:

The choice of photo is lovely, reminiscent of photos used by the media to make suspected criminals look as bad as they can.

You will not believe what a colleague said yesterday while he overheard me and another colleague discuss the international press on the subject.

He said : – ‘Do not believe what the international press writes, the articles were all sent to them by Simon Busuttil’

And he was serious.

I don’t know if you’d spotted this one:

http://www.faz.net/aktuell/politik/europaeische-union/verkauf-der-staatsangehoerigkeit-malta-betreibt-menschenhandel-12667559.html

MEP Elmar Brok has gone on record calling Muscat’s bill “pathetic and vile.”

Here’s the google translate version:

It is a small consolation that at least this newspaper acknowledged that many Maltese are against this move.

Jirreferu għalihom bħala Soċjalisti Demokratiċi! Għandek ċans! Anke Hitler u Mussolini kellhom doża qawwija ta’ Soċjaliżmu fir-retorika tagħhom, imma l-element ewlieni tas-soċjaliżmu tagħhom kien id-dittatorjat – mhux tal-proletarjat imma tal-elite fit-tmexxija u l-bażużli tagħhom.

Id-demokrazija fis-socjaliżmu demokratiku tal-Partit Laburista minn Mintoff l’hawn kienu u għadhom jilgħabu biha skond kif jaqbel lilhom u l-inkompetenza tagħhom u tal-bażzużli tagħhom.

Minn daqshekk, għall-pożi u r-retorika elettorali ma jirbħilhom ħadd. Tgħid għad xi darba l-poplu tagħna jinza’ l-għamad tal-preġudizzju politiku u jagħraf min tassew mexxa lil Malta ‘l quddiem fid-dinja moderna ta’ wara l-gwerra?

Contrary to what government propaganda desperately wants us to believe, opposition to this scheme by the PN and civil society is not only not damaging Malta but is the only positive feature in these media reports.

It’s the one thing that saves us from absolute shame.
