“i only believe official allegations”.

You’d be at home in North Korea. Why are you still here?

That’s a theory in the mind of ‘most’ people commenting here and until it becomes official, it is nothing but fruit of the imagination.

And without a hint of published proof or substantiation, it is irresponsible to allow such allegations. That is not journalism. Not even Net TV went there.

I only comment on the basic facts as accepted by both political parties. So unless these allegations become official, any speculation is futile.

[Daphne – “I only comment on the basic facts as accepted by both political parties.” You would have been happy in communist China. Smith has the perfect solution in a democracy: speak to the press with his side of the story. We in the press have given him every opportunity by asking him repeatedly, and he has rejected those opportunities. So the only possible conclusion is that he does not want to give his side of the story for suspect reasons that include a deal struck with the corrupt authorities, and he is happy for the matter to be the subject of speculation. ]

One thing is sure. One has to be a total jerk to think that a minister’s driver will use the minister car in pursuit of ‘an illicit deal gone wrong’, which probably you want to imply drugs.

I mean, come on……….Do you have proof? What is the proof, that Mr. Smith did the right thing and did not go political? You think there is something sinister. This is beyond ridiculous.

[Daphne – No, one is not a complete jerk to think it. One is a complete jerk to do it. You must be young and uniformed indeed not to know that we live in a country where a minister’s driver, equipped with a machine gun, formed part of a convoy of thugs who went about shooting at PN clubs at night and eventually killed a man of 25, and where the police acquired the machine-gun from the man who used it and planted it on a totally innocent animal-herder and charged him with murder. Grow up. If you had the sort of parents who never gave you this information, never lived through it yourself, and now couldn’t be arsed to find out, do yourself a favour and become informed. The minister in question, incidentally, is now EU Commissioner in Brussels, checking tomato plants on eco-planters’ roofs. As for your last remark, if Smith were innocent and not complicit in something – where it was a drug deal or a deal to keep quiet – then as a normal person his reaction would be to speak to the press and sue the government for having one of its agents shoot at him.]

It seems that you do not own a mobile phone. The only time my mobile phone does not have reception is two or three floors below ground level, in some car park built of solid concrete.

Normal people have a life, and they let it go on as far as they can. Anything less than this is defeatism at best, and fixation at worse, the start of psychological problems, where people start to take things irrationally to heart. People like this should be nowhere near politics or even professional life. These are people with resentments.

You are either doing this for effect and propoganda, granted, or you truly believe that these two people should still lock themselves up due to something that happened 3 weeks ago. In the latter case, well….actually I do not wish it is the latter.

[Daphne – Get a grip. People like you only have a place in a democracy precisely because it is a democracy. You are completely irresponsible and pea-brained.]

Now you are talking, Mila. This is the first comment that is apportioning blame, because from all the other comments, it seemed that the other party was just an non-provoking saintly victim.

But no word was said against Smith, at least not until he decided not to play to the tune, and leave justice to take its course. Yes of course, at least one is realising here that this is not a one culprit show.

[Daphne – If you were a dedicated reader of this website, you would know that most people commenting here think that there was no car accident, but an illicit deal gone wrong.]

This ‘messanxena’ was staged purely to mention the ‘warning shots’ thus freeing Kurt from all this mess – OK SIEHBI.

[Daphne – How would they have established he is ‘Scottish’. Would a police interrogation of an Italian citizen establish that he is a Lombard, especially if he was brought up in Malta from early childhood and Maltese-speaking? Come off it.]

Sheehan must have lied when he said before that the minister was with him in the car.

The man was out of his mind.

He should never have been entrusted with a firearm.

There could have been a bloodbath.

“Do you still have reception to your mobile in a tunnel?”

Are you serious? Hallina Mallia.
