I am a boxing promotor myself and there is no harm in mp’s attending these kind of events, and as for boxers being thugs I am unsure how or where you get that impression from. Boxing is a sport like any other sport it’s even promoted in schools all over the world. To be a boxer it takes a lot of heart, discipline and dedication. It’s not fair they are labeled as thugs. I have been to shows in the uk where the prime minister along with the queen where present .

In reply to canon.

NO THE REFEREE WAS ME,.MY NAME IS CHARLES CARDONA.
I WANT TO ANSWER ONE THING, POLITICS SHOULD BE LEFT ALONE AND NOT MIXED WITH SPORT!
IF YOU CAN’T APPRECIATE A PERSON WHOEVER HE IS, POLITICIAN OR NOT, TO GO AND WATCH A BOXING MATCH, THEN I AM SORRY BUT YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT SPORT IS!
AND, A BIG NO, I AM NOT A CLIENT OF ANY LAWYER!

According to Minister Manuel Mallia’s definition in parliament of the word ‘accelerated’ (during question time last week), the promotion of a number of Labour Party diehards from Major to Lt Colonel and those of the same persons from Lt Colonel to Colonel WITHIN JUST 2 WEEKS cannot at law be described as ‘accelerated’.

This is why, according to Mallia, the promotions in question did not necessitate the Brigadier’s recommendation.

Promotions would have been accelerated had the four majors in question been promoted, not to the next higher grade, i.e. Lt Colonel, but straight to that of Colonel.

Another case of Mallia using contorted logic to cover up for Labour’s obscenities.

I suspect that Mallia still thinks in defence lawyer mode where any type of argument will do if it serves to get his criminal clients off the hook.
