Somebody should put a copy of L’Espresso on the prime minister’s desk at his office in the Auberge de Castille, with a note saying “Smell this coffee, can ya?”

In reply to Angus Black. Malta's patrol boat was only 60km away that day.

In reply to Mad.

Muscat DID take a decision. He decided not to despatch the AFM’s patrol boat, even though it was only 60km away.

Instead, he despatched a spotter plane to shed a tiny life raft, condemning hundreds to death and hundreds to live with horrendous loss and nightmarish memories.

That includes the AFM members who had to watch as people drowned, knowing they weren’t authorised to rescue them.

Muscat then decided to make an even greater mockery of his mess by including the entire AFM contingent in the Republic day honours list.

And then we had Joey on October 11 procrastinating for four full hours before instructing AFM to head out to a stricken boat 280 miles away but neglected to order merchant ships which were within 27 miles from the boat to go ahead and assist the immigrants! This after Malta assumed responsibility for the rescue mission! The result? A loss of 270 lives! Shame.
Maybe he wanted to outdo Costantino Baratta?
