They’ve had three full days and a prime-time TV slot – and they’ve done nothing

The Minister for the Economy and his EU presidency policy officer have had three full days and a prime-time television slot manned by don’t-bite-the-hand-that-feeds-you Saviour Balzan in which to give us their alibi and explain where they were if they were not inside the FKK Acapulco ‘sauna club’ on Monday night.

And they haven’t.

On Balzan’s show last night, the Minister for Hard-Ons was all bluff and bluster, saying that he would “break” me and “smash” my story. When prompted further, he said that he would do this “at the opportune time” and “in court”. As though saying things in court precludes you from saying them out of court.

You clear your name with an immediate statement, not with a civil libel suit. A civil libel suit is for DAMAGES. First you issue the statement that clears your name, then you sue for damages.

If he had an alibi, he would have called a press conference first thing on Tuesday morning. But instead, he’s playing for time. And looking like the liar he is.

And now his tool Gerada – literally his tool, given that it was the two of them and one woman – has tweeted in the same vein. Who do they think they’re fooling?

If they could have “smashed” me and my report they would have done it on Tuesday. Stay away from the foam, Chris.
