I’m afraid to inform you that the Law Commissioner has now sent me his A-level certificate

As though the situation in Malta were not worrying enough, I have to break the news to you – with trepidation, as I know you have probably had more than enough – that the Law Commissioner has now published his A-level certificate by posting it on this website’s comments-board.

Or rather, one of his A-level certificates, because it just shows one subject, English, when three were required back in 1991. And that, of course, means that he was one of those try-hard people who sat them all separately so that they could concentrate hard on each one and make it through.

But who cares anyway? That’s not the point. The point is that Muscat’s Law Commissioner and Office of the Prime Minister’s consultant on justice reform, aged 43 and a criminal defence lawyer, is all over the internet comments boards protesting that he does not have a psychiatric disorder while posting photos of his school exam certificates which he has conveniently to hand and in pristine condition in his 40s.
