Joe Grima is large enough I would have thought.

But later…

‘The board, however, found no evidence of assault but established the patient had been injected with medication to be put under control and said there were a number of irregularities in the way this was done.’

Note the scarcity of details but the emphasis on the ‘no assualt’ decision.

It must have been horrific for the patient to go against those in a position of total power over him and those who specifically had the power to physically restrain him and inject him with strong sedatives to knock him out like an animal.

How convenient that in Malta we do not have any patient advocacy group with balls. Let’s close ranks and protect the establishment shall we?

Gahan, they have already appointed someone associated with Toni Abela to the bench – hers was the first appointment made actually – Magistrate Charmaine Zammit used to be Toni Abela’s office partner and carry his workload when he was taken up with political duties.

Since its election it has not once informed me that an appointment is to be made. Maybe the office responsible for this matter has moved premises or has lost my address since I now live in another EU member state.

With the prospect of the appointment of two judges I would very much like to exercise my civic duty to vote and have a say in these important appointments.

Robert Abela, Pawlu Lia, Joe Mifsud…

With 100 (full marks) in Religious Knowledge, remember.

Halliha li ma jemminx bil-hass. U iva mhux xorta.

You cannot form an opinion about something, either for or against, without knowing what it is.

Marlene Farrugia did the right thing.

Alfred Mifsud’s niece Dr Anna Mallia would be an acceptable magistrate.
