There is no such thing as sub judice. You said it yourself.

Excuse me? When was the last time a case wasn’t discussed in the media because it was sub judice? You need to keep up.

Can we please stop repeating this nonsense? ‘Nationalist’ isn’t a tribe but a set of political beliefs expressed in a vote.

All this rubbish about “jerfa’ r-responsabbilta’ politka” is nauseating. None of the newspaper editors has had the courage to publish that simple, four-word sentence.

He’s not the only experienced lawyer who said that, either.
