U kieku stess Silvio ta l-informazzjoni zbaljata (gideb) lil gurnalisti l-ministru xorta responsabbli.

Silvio huwa l-kap tas-segretariat, mhux xi nessaggier jew xi kwalunkwe skrivan tal-ministeru. Ic-chief m’ ghaziltux ‘a caldo’, sur ministru.

In reply to Someone.

Which, I have no doubt, does not hesitate to misinform and cover-up to Interpol and on cross-border issues, under his non-intrusive guidance.

What was the budget proving for next? The setting up of border guards? Under what regulations?

I see wider scope for more of same planned.

In reply to Gahan. Three cheers for Salvu for choosing the right side of the bandwagon when it drops off Scerri at the next stage.

In reply to Someone. I agree - this is highly suspect in and of itself. Either they want to recover the lost ground in the Alexa rankings, or Roger de Giorgio (not Saviour Balzan) wants to distance himself from Joseph Muscat.

Can you stop calling Silvio Scerri ‘chief of staff’? The very ‘socialist’ Labour Government invented this new pompous title for what used to be plain and simple ‘Head of Secretariat’.

Were the talks planned some weeks ago or was the Ambassador for Libya asked to come to Malta last week?

Is this another ooops moment perhaps?

In reply to ChrisM. Unfortunately they had all the salient facts except one - that a section of the press already had all the salient facts and so this time the Department of Information could not get away with lying to the press as usual.

In reply to ChrisM.

Those phone records would be interesting.

Also interesting is that Sheehan could make as many phone calls as he wished.

The person who was shot at was arrested and could not have any support until he was already taken away, and then only to ask for a lawyer.

Wouldn’t the angle of the shots be different for a man firing while seated (presumably in the minister’s car) than they would be if fired from a standing position?

If the minister’s driver was sitting when he fired his gun, than it is most probable that the other driver was in his car as well. This would favour the theory that the minster’s driver fired in the direction of the British man and his car and NOT just at the car.

Why is the PM continuing to harp that the driver shot at the car?

Is it a case of ‘if he says it enough times…’?
