They could have politely thanked him about the unwarranted comment, but still would like a straight answer for the original question which he didn’t answer.

As long as the REPORTERS have something to fill up the columns, everyone seems to be happy even if the figures are inflated by the compulsive liar in his favour.

Yesterday he said that James Caterers employs 1,800 workers.

People who are not PEPs can do whatever they please, including sell Maltese passports and make offshore arrangements for those they suspect might well be crooks. It’s between them and their conscience, and they obviously don’t have one because they’re storing up money for the after-life.

You’re right. I meant it is not wrong for a person (not PEP) working in financial services to offer such services to owners of such companies, opened legitimately, while not working for the government.

You are 100% correct. When faced with answers like those, the journalists should reply that he hasn’t answered the question and that he should stick to it, that if they want to know about Simon Busuttil and cedoli, they will ask him themselves.

Yes, I know. And instead they did what he wanted them to do and reported what he said about Busuttil instead of leading with the fact that he avoided questions about Schembri.
