I belong to those older generations and I can assure you that we are well on track to bringing those times back with a vengeance

You’ve such fantastically wonderful logic, Loporto. My police force can shaft justice and the republic as long as the victim is Johnny Foreigner.

Sempliciment ma tistax tafdah bil-poter.

Flok juza l-poter biex jghin lil proxmu tieghu, dejjem uzah biex issawat lil hutu Maltin.

It must have been a thorough investigation. He must have given them an elaborate lie to unknot.

Has anyone asked why he was kept for so long under arrest?

Could it be he was given time to sober up, if perhaps he had one too many?

Who knows, that is why we should wait.

As far as I can see it, the only blame one can point at Minister Mallia, is that he was too rush in trying to explain what had happened .

He should have waited until the case was fully investigated, but of course he would have been accused of not keeping us informed and in a dictatorial way.

The only good thing about this whole affair is that this Briton can go back home whenever he likes if he does not like the way we do things.

I think they didn’t do it enough. Had they done it more – or had the younger generation cared to listen – we might not be in the s*** we are.

I hope the ones who voted for Labour on the misguided belief that the stories of the 80s are part of the past, part of old Labour realise now what a mistake they made.

Labour will never change. It will always be a the party where criminals feel at home.
