This is how the government, Labour Party and its apologists reason things out

Konrad Mizzi goes to the bank wearing a balaclava, with a crash helmet on top, and carrying his gun. He has a licence for that gun.

He walks into the bank holding his gun and he’s pinned to the floor by security guards who call the police. He is carted off amid much public outrage.

The Prime Minister actively discourages the police from prosecuting him and, as a result, they don’t investigate or take any other form of action. The Prime Minister does not sack him and defends him madly in public and private. He tells the angry press that Konrad Mizzi has a licence for his gun and that the only thing he did wrong was fail to understand that in terms of his licence he should not carry it in a residential area. He will therefore pay a self-imposed fine without being prosecuted – sort of like a charity donation.

He also did not realise that you may not enter the bank making a fashion statement wearing a balaclava and a crash helmet, even though your intentions were noble, so he will change banks after asking the bank manager to investigate one of his wardrobes.

Those who accuse him of planning to rob the bank while heavily disguised are hate blokkers and working in tandem with the Nationalist Party and what they say is smoke without fire because even though Konrad Mizzi walked into the bank wearing a balaclava and crash helmet and heavily armed, he wasn’t planning to rob the bank and there is no proof that he robbed it or that these were his plans. And those who suggest otherwise should repeat their accusations outside parliament.

Meanwhile, Konrad Mizzi’s colleague speaks at a Labour meeting and says, “Doesn’t everybody go to the bank wearing a crash helmet and balaclava and carrying a gun?”
