Two corrupt crooks are holding a press conference today. Such thrills.

One of them is sick and tired of being out of the limelight, and the other knows he has been in the limelight a little too much for all the wrong reasons, and wants to get people talking about something else.

Those who think that Evarist Bartolo is normal and decent “because he likes English and is married to Gillian Sammut” need to put on their spectacles and take a proper look at what’s staring them in the face.

Even Deborah Schembri, who was linked with them in the divorce referendum battle, knows enough to stay away from being associated with their latest public relations tactic. She has cited “previous engagements” which I rather suspect are subsequent engagements or none at all.

Socio-political developments? I think sociopathic developments would be more accurate.
