Try the last volume of Ganado’s ”Rajt Malta Tinbidel”.

And yet our eminent historians tell us that it was all inevitable.

At that time Dr George Borg Olivier had handled the transformation of the Malta economy from that of a fortress to a civil economy, tourism being prominently represented, so brilliantly above all expectations that the British government tried to cut down on the subsidy that it was giving Malta over the transition period. The Governor General Sir Maurice Dorman actually joined the public demonstration “four square” behind the George Borg Olivier Malta government.

That was the first occasion when the Malta electorate was bamboozled to vote for a change and instead of a change for the better was plunged to the status of a third world developing country with the people living in misery while the Labour government boasted of a “kaxxa mimlija”.

Deborah Schembri should honour us with her views about the harassment of NP election agents labelled as “tal-Gakketta Blue” and taken to court with false charges from which they were declared innocent.

I am reliably informed that she has some very pertinent information about that frame up.

Inews is not independent. It’s run by the GWU which is officially divorced from the Labour Party, but still sleeping in the same bed.

Probably the 20-something year-old MP who posts photos half naked (Ok, it was the upper half) on Facebook thinks that he can dictate market conditions, commercial and capitalisation considerations to the private banks.

“I believe corporate social responsibility demands that banks do not appear as being greedy.” – he is quoted as saying by Malta Today.

“Labour is safe for business.” Now who had said that?

It’s worth remembering that the last time Labour was in government in 1996-1998 they imposed a one-time 15% tax on banks’ profits, because they believed banks were making huge profits.

Now that EU Citizenship will be used as a cash cow, are we heading for another clash with the banks, maybe?

It also transpired that William Agius’ vehicle was used in the robbery however he argued that this had been lent to Roderick Debono, his girlfriend’s brother, for some time.

Mr Debono too was investigated as witnesses had seen three people leaving the residence carrying a bulky white object. While Mr Debono looks a lot like Agius, he could not be found guilty as his photo was not part of the identification parade.

Magistrate Claire Stafrace Zammit presided over the court. Lawyers Franco Debono and Marion Camilleri appeared for Agius.

My observation is that if the girlfriend’s brother had the car in his possession at the moment of the burglary , and the car was seen leaving the crime scene with three thieves , than it goes without saying that the girlfriend’s brother was an accomplice in the burglary.

Thanks to our Law Commissioner we can now catch the second burglar and get the vehicle seized by the court.

Bravo Franco keep up the good work!

When will the prosecution start proceeding against the second thief ?

Thanks.
