The bottom line is: it’s none of your business. Or mine.

In reply to Makjavel. A drug test would be a good idea too.

Not terrified. Just too eager to please.

In reply to Melissa.

You don’t have to be over-speeding to cause an accident. Had Owen Bonnici been doing over 60 Kmh (the speed limit) and collided with a stationary vehicle without even braking the consequences would have been far worse.

The speed camera would have only worked if he broke the speed limit and only for that split second to capture the photo of the licence plates.

Maybe there is also a CCTV next to the speed camera to protect it against vandalism but I don’t know. Would the police / inquiring magistrate have taken the initiative to review the footage of such a camera without being formally asked (pressured) to do so by the victim’s lawyer ? That I very much doubt.

Mur ara if they up the age but don’t check the age of people buying. I’ve seen 14-year-olds looking like 20-year-olds going up to the bar, ordering drinks and being served…no questions asked.

Can we have a breathalyser before entering parliament sessions?

People love to be in control of other people’s choices. And I am beginning to find that they especially love the element of cruelty that goes with it.

Because there really has to be a strong element of latent sadism in wishing to prolong an agonising death against the sufferer’s wishes, or forcing a woman to stay pregnant and give birth when she doesn’t want it. That’s called ‘caring about the baby’, which then gets dumped for adoption or resented by its own mother for the rest of its life.

In reply to Daphne Caruana Galizia. This statistic appeared in the now defunct weekly newspaper called The European.

In reply to Charley Bates. I find it hard to believe that the Council of Europe would define countries as Catholic or otherwise. What is France - a Catholic country?
