In reply to lolol. Are you sure about curly? I think it's a man and what you think is a shoulder bag is just the side of his jacket.

This week before the EU election is characterised by new appointments, calls and letters from the health department to give us long awaited appointments, reinstatements and messages from PL to ask if we need anything. PL is working really hard to maintain its majority.

What’s that on the extreme right. Is it a guy with long blond locks or what?

These guys presumably all receive a pension, what happens now? Does it stop or will they pick up a salary too and a second pension when they end their term?

So were these retired policemen or corps members who have been sacked? The army and the police force are like sports – one’s expiry date is very short. All this make absolutely no bloody sense!

They are all Labour voters. All the Nationalist Party supporters that I know who applied were systematically excluded with banal excuses like ‘ghandek il-cholesterol gholi’ etc., when most are thinner than a stick and you can see the size of those chosen.

This blatant abuse must stop. This goes beyond the ‘Malta Taghna Lkoll’ gimmick. This is a dangerous game hitting social stability at its core.

I had heard of this recruitment a couple of months ago from a driver of an Arriva bus who was encouraging another “suldat tal-azzar” to apply.

So the idea is to fill up the Police Farce with these reinstated ex members loyal to the PL to oversee the security for the Castille cretins and their cohorts. They are hell bent on destroying all that has been achieved.

Reinstated after leaving or being booted out?

Either way this stinks (x’kien…)
