Net TV’s anchor or the newsroom, are confounded morons. Why are they referring to Smith as “ix-xufier Skocciz”?
Haven’t we settled this already?
[Daphne – He’s not a xufier, either. Xufier doesn’t mean driver as in car-driver. It means driver as in chauffeur and is in fact the same word: xufier/chauffeur.]
Exactly.
Sewwieq.
Idiots, undermining their own message.
Because ‘is-sewwieq ta’ dixxendenza Skocciza’ takes up all the slot.
[Daphne – Do we even have to say what passport he carries? A man is a man is a man. Imagine a news item in London: ‘Minister’s driver shoots Maltese driver.’]
I wouldn’t quite call them confounded morons – they’re the only ones keeping that country you live in from descending to depths previously seen only in the 1980s. Them and Daphne, of course.
The internet and mobile phones may likely prevent the 1980s from happening again. This time around they can’t keep all their dirty deeds secret.
Irringrazzja lil Alla li qed jaghmlu xoghol il-gurnalisti mhallsin mill-istat. Dik hi gharukaza, habib.
Jekk juzaw naqra l-intellet se jgharrqu mohhhom? Dawn kollha ghandhom O Level, le?
Smith la hu Skocciz u lanqas ma huwa xufier.
Bit harsh. I mean we could also mention the way ‘Kurt’ was pronounced (koo-rt) when voicing over the first published transcripts.
But at this point, I’d rather have the people at MediaLink focus on bringing out the facts and exposing the whole charade that is the Malta Labour Party rather than ponder on whether to use the word ‘xufier’ which ultimately is used very loosely in the Maltese language anyway.
[Daphne – No, these things matter because they cloud the issue. This is a fight between a minister’s driver and another man. It is not a fight between two drivers. Nor should anyone keep referring to Smith by the nickname Sheehan and the Police Commissioner use for him. His name is Stephen Smith and that is exactly how he should be referred to. Let nobody go down to Sheehan’s and the Police Commissioner’s level by going on about ‘L-Iskocciz’.]
I was explicitly referring to the use of the word ‘xufier’. Otherwise, perfectly agree.
Totally agree with you, Daphne, but Baxxter was somewhat harsh in calling them ‘morons’.
It’s thanks to them that this story has not been swept under the carpet.
By all means criticise but be fair. We need to get behind these people and give them all the support we can if we are even to hope to get rid of these corrupt swine.
[Daphne – Yes, I agree. Baxxter seems not to have noticed on which side the morons are operating right now.]
Always complaining …you are getting on everybody’s nerves now.
Why should I let anyone off the hook? They’re getting paid for this. If the Maltese (or the Nationalist Party) think this sort of sloppiness should be excused, they should remember it’s these little things that lose you the election.
‘Sewwieq’ would be the right word probably.
“Faqali l-karozza. Ijja. Il-mera.”
Mela li tolqghot il-mera ta’ karozza ohra jfisser li fqajt karozza, taht il-Labour? How crass, my God.
My thoughts precisely.
Qatt smajt l-espressjoni:
Ta’ fellusu jrid dundjan?

“Faqali il karozza….il mera” – that statement only and evidence that he aimed for and shot at the car should have justified his immediate arrest.
Is this guy God Almighty?
The way the control room operators speak to this person leads me to believe he is a well known troublemaker.
It is obvious that the control room operator knew who the caller was, not from the voice but from the number.
They knew he was Manuel Mallia’s driver. They know he has special privileges.
Let’s see that mirror. Wasn’t aware German plastic mangles itself when hit by another mirror.
That’s what I thought too. How did the mirror (and a German-designed one as well) get so badly damaged just by being clipped by another mirror?
It was obvious from the outset that nothing added up.
Austin Gatt amateur tal-arroganza hdejn dan l-imbarazz ta’ gvern.
“Harabli l-lupu. Sparajt fuqu. Se nibqa’ nispara fuqu jekk ma tibghatulix xibka.”
And all he had to do was take the car number and take it from there with a clear head.
The fake storyline was already established by that second call.
Unbelievable. I am shocked that this government has managed to reduce the Police Corps to this in such a short time.
Misshom jisthu dawk li gabu l-pajjiz f’dan lis-stat u mhux ghal gvern biss qed nghid izda specjalment ghal dawk in-nies li ghall egoizmu taghhom taw il-vot lil dawn il-qatta qlafat.
The Government has fooled the independent media for the second time by feeding it only parts of the control room recordings.

”Bla kliem”
Anger management urgently required by this Paul Sheehan. He is risking of bringing down the government because of a broken mirror…
It happened in 1996 because of a couple of boat berths.
Is this guy on bail?
[Daphne – No.]
Then my hunch was right. The Police Commissioner knew already of the facts when the other phone call was made.
It was obvious as the Commissioner was leading Sheehan with his questions and remarks.
If Mallia was with Sheehan in the car, somebody subsequently drove him to Police headquarters.
The Commissioner’s second call and the remarks about firing two shots in the air were a classic cover-up, so not to expose Minister Mallia and Kurt Farrugia.
Muscat and Mallia are digging a hole for two. Amen.
What was removed from GM14’s boot? Who collected it? Why the extraneous policemen (and women) on the crime scene? How come the other ministerial driver, who should have been collecting the minister’s daughter, was on the scene? Was the daughter with him?
[Daphne – You mean, what was removed from Smith’s car’s boot.]
I believe that the transfer was made between the two men/vehicles, but not as had been agreed.
And then Salvu Balzan’s priority at Simon Busuttil’s press conference is to get to know the source of all this news instead of applauding it like all good journalists should have done and trying to go one better by doing his job.
Hu li jippoppa zaqqu qisu xi paladin tal-gurnalizmu independenti.
Ilha li waqatlu l-maskra lil dan il-paljazz tal-gvern tal-Labour. No idea what journalism is all about, this guy. He just grinds his personal axes.
Il-bniedem qares izzejjed biex jerga’ jiftakar ghalxiex holoq AD.
Is there a third driver involved? Taking with him the daughter and whatever was in the boot?
Obvious, someone had to drive the Minister to Police Headquarters and subsequently his daughter back to Sheehan’s mother house.
Yes, Pawlu l-Machine Gun.
X’cuc hu Jason Statham.
I don’t think we ever saw images of Stephen Smith in those tunnels. The media must have got there after he was taken away.
If the Minister was with Sheehan, when, how and why did he leave the scene?
OK siehbi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZemYZWxFjec
Why does he say: diga harabli darbtejn?
OK, so once near his mother’s house, so to speak?
That’s something else that’s strange.
One of the two times was the incident during the first call, which led to the two shots.
That incident did not take place in front of his mother’s house, which is somewhere around Golden Harvest.
So I think that the first flight was the one in front of his mother’s, with the second being when he shot.
What a comical cover-up!
Imposing a possible risk of taking down your own government over the price of a side mirror & putting somebody behind bars.
Surely, if MLP is unable to calculate their risk on such a ridiculous matter I wonder how they are doing on matters of higher national importance. Hopeful PN uses this opportunity wisely.
You’re assuming the story about the mirror’s true.
It is very encouraging seeing headline news from other independent magazines giving coverage to news items shown on Net TV and not the other way round. Well done to Net TV.
How is it that Sheehan is saying that the other car rammed his car (rassni) while he was chasing it.
When one chases a car one is behind the other car and can easily avoid being rammed by stopping the car.
There were eyewitnesses who said that there was another person in the car who left the scene of the crime.
There are too many abnormalities in this whole story. Off-duty inspector in charge of the drug squad asking for the video footage while picking wasted cartridges from the scene of the crime.
One does not cover up a simple hit and run story over a broken car mirror.
Lastly, where is Smith? When will he be seen and heard in the court?
What a can of worms.
I thought that ‘It gives you wings’. Dak kif harablu darbtejn?
Is that l-iskocciz speaking (mark 43)? Is he being held at gunpoint lying on the road?
The tone of the policeman arriving on the scene at the end of the recording is so telling.
The way he says “Ijja?” sarcastically is the way you would speak to someone who you knew was blatantly and unashamed lying to your face.
Could it have been a kidnap attempt that Sheehan was trying to prevent? Mallia seems to have loose change lying about that could be viewed as potential ransom by crooks in his circle.
Did anybody check Smith’s car to see if his mirror was wrenched off as well. It should have been.
Out of curiosity, rather than anything else, I am looking forward to seeing what the three wise men will say.
This conversation confirms what I told you the very first time, that another shot was fired in the tunnel and that it stopped the car’s electrics and engine.
Who fired this last shot? Where is the spent shell?
Was it fired from the same weapon or was there another armed man in the minister’s car and who slipped away. Or could it have been the chauffeur’s brother?
Stephen Smith is not hiding. He is one of the nicest persons you could meet and will testify. All that wild speculation being bandied about on your blog does not do you credit.
Was Sheehan made to take a toxicology test? From what I gather from witnesses on the spot, his behaviour exhibited signs very similar to that of a recently powdered nose. Was anybody else checked for gunshot residue? What an almighty mess.
