Jason Azzopardi was so right to hound Manuel Mallia in parliament

And more right still to ignore the bleating protests of ‘you’re being negative, ta’. In Times of Malta today:

If Mallia is as without a clue as he makes out then he should be made to resign as he is totally not fit for purpose.
He has to decide whether he is devious or strupid. Normal and competent he certainly ain’t! He speaks in riddles never specifying the who or when, typically leaving wiggle room for later.
Who would not have immediately phoned his driver, left the reception and rushed to the car if his daughter could have been in the car he thought had been shot at? He does realize that this new bit of information does not help him does he, unless he feels that the murkier the water, the better his odds?
Initial report suggested someone had fired on ministerial car, Mallia tells Parliament

Exactly as you say.
So the first suggestion (his choice of word) was that his ministerial car was shot at and he remained calm, did not interfere, did not approach the media room.
Then his ministry statement corrected this suggestion and informed us that the shots were warning shots from his car, or rather his driver.
Later on we discover through the independent media that these were no warning shots at all but were actually fired at the chased car.
By now he has entangled himself so much anything he says will show him for the lack of integrity he boasts himself to have.
Perhaps off tack, but I find it strange that no one has commented on the decison by the SPEAKER (through the Clerk of the House) that no firearms are henceforth permitted inside Parliament.
Does this mean that it was an open secret that persons carrying firearms were entering the place?
I am morally convinced that this was the Speaker’s way of getting back at his ‘friends’ and showing he was the boss, at least in Parliament. Apparently yesterday the PM’s bodyguards ignored this ‘directive’ and swept by the AGM guard who tried to do his duty, entering through the MP’s entrance.
Did they do the same today, even though the directive was extended to further entrance/s?
We cannot help but say to Jason Azzopardi to keep up the impeccable, valuable, good work. He deserves and is worthy of our support, sympathies and collaboration. Well done.
