Whatever you do, don’t touch Codruta’s husband’s car or you’ll be shot
Those were the days – when the man with the two-year prison sentence was larger than the man with the armed driver and half a million in cash.
Twenty months of Labour government and we’re already well into the surreal. Every day brings something new.
Manuel Mallia alone is a catalogue of horrors unto himself. Konrad blabs about milestones and his magic AWOL power station.
The prime minister says that his man Luciano isn’t the first lawyer to be reported by the Court of Appeal to the Attorney-General and the Commission for the Administration of Justice (actually, I think he is).
Helena Dalli says that she doesn’t know illegal work is being carried out in a house owned by Pada Builders with machinery emblazoned with the words ‘Pada Builders’ when she owns Pada Builders.
The Justice Minister leaves his wife and child for a Super One reporter and gives the Justice Ministry as his new home address when asked for contact details.
The Finance Minister doesn’t like the look of some Eurostat reports so he calls them ‘fazull’.
A man who has just had a two-year prison sentence confirmed on appeal is introduced by the prime minister to the representative of Britain’s head of state at an official state event, and then has a special job created for him at Malta’s representative office in Brussels, so that he can join his boyfriend, who has been made chef de cabinet to the perm rep after a long and illustrious career in the communications office at the Labour Party.
Ambassadorships are given to useless individuals as a reward for having licked the Labour Party’s nether regions dry. The deputy prime minister is invisible for 362 days of the year, but his office is used as a dumping ground for IOU jobs, the latest being to party promoter Eman Pulis.
I could sit here half the night running through all this rubbish, but it’s sick-making. I’ll stop here for now. And if you’re walking through Strait Street, just remember – don’t touch GM14 or you might be shot. And then they’ll arrest you.

I’m still reading your articles at 1am. You know that I have to wake up at 5am for my part-time job (għax hekk gabna dal-Gvern tal-habba gozz) and I have a very long working day till at least 10pm ? Please stop for today…

[Daphne – You seem to love them as much as I do, Kevin, making your political choices all the more mystifying.]
I did NOT vote.
[Daphne – Not voting is a political choice, Kevin. It means you helped inflict them on us.]
There isn’t much choice, is there. Two sets of crooks and a green wannabe not worth a kopek’s attention.
[Daphne – Yes, Kevin, but some of them are going to govern, so you should choose which. There isn’t an option called ‘no government’ or one called ‘my ideal government’.]
Shit, so if you vote PN next time it doesn’t even make 2.
Not voting implies that PN=MLP, that Fearne=Parnis, that politicians are right to ignore the public and instead focus on interest groups, etc. It really isn’t a hard concept to grasp.
As in most areas of human activity, in politics there are those who prefer to pontificate and moan rather than think clearly and contribute.
Time to get off your high horse, Kevin, or – at least – stop facing the wrong direction.

Excuse me, but in 20+ years did PN descend to the levels this lot has descended to in a few months?
I am tired of people trying to put the two parties on the same level.
One party does a lot of good and makes some mistakes on the way. The other does its worst and couldn’t care less about the destruction it wreaks.
Your argument, kapxinn, is a pure cop out, a way to avoid facing your responsibilities.
This mystification has to stop. Everybody seems to accept this big lie that the PN’s 25 years of administration was a disaster that the PN in government was all about nepotism, corruption, shadiness, and so on.
It is a big lie, nothing more than a lie. Was the PN perfect? Far from it! Will anybody in this world ever be perfect? Obviously not, but we were fed Super One paranoia for 20 years precisely because they were convinced that the PN would be up to the horrible behaviour that befits the DNA of everyone that gravitates towards the MLP.
The PN’s defects were constantly blown out of proportion and we forget that this country thrived in the worst financial and economic crises ever to be seen. All the countries around Malta were in chaos, the price of oil was at its highest, war a few miles south, and still we managed to do exceptionally well.
Can we all have one moment of sanity and think, with the benefit of hindsight, what would have happened if this incapable and inapt lot were governing this country in THAT scenario?
25 years of PN administration and they bow out, rightly so perhaps, with a country propelled ahead in all economic sectors, record employment, low inflation, sound government finances (no excessive deficit procedures!) but with a party in financial ruin. If there ever was proof that the PN thought about the country before of itself, it’s this simple fact.
Malta was transformed in the last 25 years thanks to the PN in government, so let’s stop accepting these sweeping accusations that we lived under some form of sinister regime under the 25 years.
Unfortunately, it was the last few years that remain vivid in our memories, when Jeffery Pullicino Orlando, Franco Debono, and Jesmond Mugliette, in clear collusion with Joseph Muscat, were undermining the PN government, making it clear to everyone that Joseph Muscat would have won the next election and thereby enabling Joseph Muscat to run the country while Gonzi was running the government.
And now the true colours of Labour are coming out and we are all realising that, despite not being perfect, the PN was fit and proper whereas these self-serving inapt lot are turning our lives and this country into a tragicomedy.
So, NO! I don’t accept any more this easy argument that there is no choice. The choice is clear.
If we want to live in a decent country the PN must be returned to Government as soon as possible. We all have to stand up and be counted, or accept this degeneration and shut up.
When the PN is back in Government we will not have a perfect government, or perfect ministers, but the standards are clearly and indisputably light years apart. And at the very least we will have that precious and much missed peace of mind once more.
A+, I will print your comment. It will come in handy when faced with stupid, brainwashed switchers.
Great comment A+.
Seems that they are all squeezing themselves in the kitchen to grab one or more iced buns while they last. But the kitchen is getting hot. The place is under pressure and they are getting nervous.
When that happens, it’s easy to pull the trigger.
Soon they will be pointing their guns to their temples, or using it through their mouth.
Please … at least that way they will harm only themselves.
What a right mess.
The scary trouble is that’s not how they see it. They think it’s normal.
Don’t borrow money from a toad.
He will want an exorbitant weekly interest and if you do not pay up in time, strange and dangerous things will happen to you.
Why was the driver visiting his mother when on duty?
Why was the driver a policeman?
We only have the police’s word for it that he was visiting his mother. And that word is worth jack right now.
Manuel Mallia is surrounded by ‘exemplary’ people like Silvio Scerri and Paul Sheehan. It makes him nostalgic for the days when he used to be surrounded by people like Leli L-Imniehru and Meinrad Calleja.
TVM and the Labour media are already focussing on the man who “hit and ran” (as distinct from the man who ran because he was shot at).
Recently armed police have started patrolling the airport Arrivals area, ground side. Whatever for?
Can you for a moment imagine the chaos if an officer becomes trigger-happy just like last night?
The Opposition must call for an independent inquiry into what happened – and clear confirmation that ministers drivers should not be armed.
Mallia is a dangerous man surrounded by well known criminals who he worked for.
Watch this guy, and keep in mind that he has the country’s army , police and broadcasting in his power. This is the formula for dictatorship.
The official lying apparatus went into action minutes after yesterday evening’s shocking events took place.
Fortunately there are eyewitnesses.
The true sequence of events appears to be:
Hit minister’s car by accident
Be confronted by minister’s driver, waving gun at you
Tell him to put it away
He waves it harder
Run for your life
Get shot at twice
Keep driving
Find yourself surrounded by large number of gun-waving driver’s mates in uniform
Get arrested
Disappear into Police HQ
Gun-waving driver runs free
The more they lie the more they prove that they have something quite horrendous to hide.
We are officially informed that the victim of the murder attempt was arrested.
What about the culprit?
This is a record of gross inefficiency, skirting if not indulging in criminality, that is hard to match in a supposedly democratic Western European country.
Inefficiency? Much more likely a criminal abuse of police powers. If the trend is not pinched in the bud we will soon be finding again the corpse of persons last seen alive during interrogation at the Police Headquarters.
Be positive. Smith’s car must have skidded on the left-over red banana skin from the Qormi festival.
Imagine what will happen to you if you had to touch Codruta’s ‘front lamps’.
