In reply to mile end. Maybe he's afraid that Muscat will try his Pulp Fiction job again. An elephant skin flak jacket might be more effective.

How does it feel to be the prime minister’s cod piece? No wonder he’s small.

“Police are still in the dark about the motive behind a powerful bomb that caused extensive damage to the Żurrieq home of a police inspector early yesterday morning.”

Donnu diga qatghu qalbhom l-investiguri tal-pulizija. Bilkemm ghadhom ghaddew 24 siegha mill-ispluzjoni. Min jaf lahqux ikkonsultawx mal-ministru tal-intern u s-sigurta’?

Tghid kieku kellhom xi hjiel dwar il-mottiv tal-ispluzjoni, il-gvern kien joqghod pass lura milli jibghat immedjatament tim ta’ haddiema biex isewwu l-hsara li saret?

First Mallia rants about finding the police mole who blew a cover-up of a slave factory and God knows what else, then regrets there is not enough proof to nail him, then a few hours later, a police inspector’s house is blown up.

So this (ex?) defence lawyer of the worst criminals in Malta must be pretty chuffed that if some of his (perhaps) ex-clients taught this (perhaps) mole a lesson for upsetting their lucrative activities. Perhaps I’m wrong of course.

Perhaps 2+2 does not = 4 anymore.

The explanation for different treatment is that some are more equal than others.

Have Speakers of the House always been given guards at their private residence or is it just the present one? I was trying to get to ta’ Qali some time ago and saw the little wooden thing policemen use right next to the speaker’s house, with a policeman inside.

In reply to Peter Grech.

Yes, it is. It has been so for quite a number of years now.

Mr Michael Cassar of Zabbar, at the time inspector heading the anti-drug squad, had had his residence similiarly attacked. The government had looked after the necessary repairs.

It was also the same with the instance when the late Inspector Harold Harrison’s residence in Gzira was targeted by criminals.

If I remember correctly, the residence of a senior official in the Customs Department had also been attacked. Repairs were also undertaken by government.

I disagree with you on this Daphne, Inspector Azzopardi is a state employee and the state is duty bound to ensure his safety to carry out his job. Whereas you are a private journalist/blogger. The only obligation the state has to you is to ensure your safety.

You are doing an excellent job. Keep it up.

Can you imagine the state they’ll leave it in? Government workers?
