Tipikament ta’ din l-amministrazzjoni, is-sentenza giet differita ga darbtejn, fit-tul.

Milli jidher il-Pulizija fil-livelli kollha jinsabu mdejjqin hlief dawk il-ftit li qed jistennew il-medicina li tfejjaqhom f`hinu u f`waqtu.

Tajba Def,

quite impressed with the lingo too.

Hear, hear for Daphne.

[Daphne – Int bis-serjeta? Il-mara ta’ Robert Abela hija parti ewlenija tal-Partit tal-Labour – executive secretary – u Robert Abela stess hadem u stinka biex tella l-Joseph Muscat fil-gvern. Kien anke wasal biex pastas bis-shih kontra Lawrence Gonzi li ghamel lil missieru president biex Robert u Lydia ikunu jistghu jizuffjetaw il-Palazz ta’ Verdala bil-plakkek tal-irham bl-ismijiet tat-tfal taghhom. Allura issa Robert Abela jaghlaq halqu u l-pulizija jistghu isibu avukat iehor jekk vera jixtiequ l-kredibilita.]

The media (this website excluded) gave the government a free ride for two years. Many in the media thought that the government was their friend but now they’re starting to realise that they were just being used as pawns and that the government doesn’t mind making a fool of them when it suits its needs.

During those two years, the government was doing far worse than covering up an unlawful incident. It was busy gaining control of Malta’s institutions leaving no system of checks and balances.

First, it sedated the media with cookies, leaked stories and lucrative contracts (hello there, Lou Bondi), then it stuffed the judiciary with people like Wenzu Mintoff and one of Owen Bonnici’s ex girlfriends, and then it took over the army and police force by measures like the ones discussed in this video.

Mintoff himself would have been proud, though he would have seized the banks too.

This is a conflict of interest.
