They are hardly being generous or free and easy here.

Not unless the matter touches upon ‘poverty’ and those on the brink of poverty.

Neither unless it touches upon the need for a ‘family wage’.

Yes, they have been trying to persuade the Minister but he is tied up with other considerations it and in any case what does Caritas know about social issues like drugs?

Joseph Muscat (in stentorian voice and puffing his chest out):

“I am not afraid to take hard decisions. Therefore, esteemed siehbi Dr Mallia, I have bravely and fearlessly decided to let you decide whether to resign or stay.”

And he promptly ducks behind Silvio Scerri.

Joseph Muscat is a prime minister and he went to sleep knowing that a minister’s driver shot at somebody.

The motive and context are not important to him because he couldn’t be arsed to do anything if he can shed responsibility onto someone else, as he did that night with Kurt Farrugia.

It is imperative to know what the prime minister knew about the shooting, who contacted him about it, and if he gave any instructions.

A prime minister doesn’t go to sleep if a minister’s driver has shot at somebody and the motive and context are not clear.

Old news, I know, but re: point number 3: Charles Buhagiar’s driver has already taken that to heart.
