In reply to White coat. I think reason Two is stronger than reason One and am in total agreement with you. I even think the last election should be revisited with that in mind.

In reply to White coat. In specific cases they have seen fit to execute a purge before taking office.

Could this be the whistleblower? This is the first thought that came to mind when I read the report.

[Daphne – Lots of people immediately thought the same, including me: http://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2014/11/is-this-the-senior-policeman-who-is-suspected-of-telling-the-media-about-human-trafficking-at-leisure-clothing/#comment-2642110 ]

As soon as I started to read the article in question I understood that they were looking for the policeman who leaked the information. You do not need to have a university degree. But is it right to leak information? We now have the Whistleblower Act. The policeman in question would have been made a hero. Got it?

The Police Commissioner who obeyed Mintoff ended up in jail.

Will the same happen to this one, if he obeys Mallia?

History, when forgotten, tends to repeat itself.

Frame ups, fabricated evidence, corrupt police officials, minister with the power to fire police officials if they do not perform to his tunes being the last chapter of this saga.

Will Mallia get rid of the Prime Minister if threatened?

At my age it is Botox not Bortex that suits me. Had it been the other way round I would have preferred to walk down Savile Row than Merchants Street or Constitution Street for finer craftsmanship and value for money.

In reply to La Redoute.

What happened to the Whistleblower Act? Was this act a Maoist trap?

In the sixties, after the Chinese Cultural revolution, Mao Tse Tung said: Let a thousand flowers bloom, meaning that he was opening Chinese politics to self criticism.

So many Chinese took the bait, opened up their mouth criticising communism and Maoism. Then when Mao thought that all his critics had stood up, he ordered his police to round them up and execute them.

This is history.

In reply to White coat. Errata: 2. If they lose power many PL ministers and their cronies would risk ending up in the cooler.
