“suspicion exists that the people in government might well have been bankrolled by drug money.”

I am morally convinced that it has been bankrolled by drug money – just look at who is actually governing the country. No wonder that they have all of a sudden become completely paranoid on security.

In Malta we do not do cut and dried, it doesn’t benefit those on the take.

The new laws (http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20141124/local/drugs-reform-law-in-parliament-today.545501) are there to broaden the scope of drug trafficking by making it perfectly fine to carry small amounts (simply increase the number of drug mules) and to consume drugs (increase the demand for drugs).

I am sure that this is the change that Malta needed. I refuse to have my children brought up in a drug-free-for-all country and urge the Nationalists to oppose this law and eventually repeal it.

He needed a cover up so his personal advisers provided him with one and in doing so made his position even more untenable. The victim got arrested, the perpetrator stayed free for days.

If a Minister’s entourage is riddled with people who have a history of police investigations and/or criminal charges, that Minister has to answer to the country as to his bad choices, and what arises from them, by resigning.

It is either incompetence or corruption when you employ unprofessional shady types. It is arrogance when you stay put with egg all over your face.

While there is a strong argument that supports this view, I feel that many are missing the real issue which is that the Minister acted very incorrectly when he tried to downplay the incident and repeated a lie, i.e. that warning shots were fired.

There also seem to enough evidence to show the his ministry attempted a cover up.

In addition, he is also responsible for the police, and therefore responsible for the fact that no charges were made against the driver.

They’re bloody decriminalising heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, and crystal meth.

It’s just 25 euros more expensive than pot.

Next step, legalise supply. Can’t have runners coming through customs with sachets in their stomach, or notorious dealers gunning down each other like there’s no tomorrow now can we?

I want to see Labour’s parliamentary group voting in toto the ultimate iced bun, Chris Fearne, Deborah schembri, Godfrey and Marlene Farrugia, that Silvio Parnis, Michael Farrugia, Helena Dalli, the same Muscat.

Where’s that Appogg chief?

It’s a proposal to settle the vote with cocainers that’s what.

The strife that ordinary and respectable Labour supporters are feeling within and outside the party must be causing deep chasms.

The real pity is that it is the country, the state and its people which are innocent casualties in Muscat’s master plan.
