    Let us, for argument’s sake, say that it was a hit and run, which I doubt.

    Isn’t there a difference between a hit and run when someone is injured and a hit and run when a parked car is damaged?

    I stand to be corrected but I think that one is a criminal act while the other is not. Even if there is CCTV evidence of a hit and run on a parked car and the culprit is found, he is not arrested and detained.

    L-ewwel darba li xi hadd itajrilkom u jkisser xi side-mirror, ibghatu ghal Sheehan.

    I wouldn’t know about that, but I think it should be obvious by now that Manuel Mallia is somebody who gets off on guns, jackboots and men in uniform. What we have is a government of perverts, working out their dreams on public money.

    Visiting relatives in a ministerial car, while armed. Tajba ukoll.

    Ghandi dubju kemm kien qieghed ipparkjat sew il-Gzira. U jekk inhu pulizija serju kif jispara tlett tiri (mhux tnejn) lejn ragel mhux armat?

    U ghax ma ghamilx rapport l-ghassa kif jaghmlu nies civilizzati?

    Minn min jibza Manwel Mallia biex ghandu xufier armat?

    “The driver, Constable Paul Sheenan, realised that a Silver Vauxhall with foreign number plates had hit the minister’s car (damaging the side mirror) and gave chase.”

    Damaging the side mirror, eh. Let me use a favourite expression of the PL fans. We can safely say that it was a storm in a teacup.

    Isn’t excessive defence also punishable at law?

    @ DCG

    Last July, a car carrying Nationalist MPs – Censu Galea and Frederick Azzopardi – was hit by a Briton who then raced off.

    The matter was reported in the newspapers – http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20140627/local/briton-charged-with-mps-hit-and-run-incident.525279

    The way a virtually identical situation to the one concerning Dr. Mallia’s driver was handled couldn’t differ more. Legal redress through legal channels. This is what we all – as citizens ask for.

  6. Neil (the other one) says:

    Good thing that woman got hit by Edward Scicluna and not Manuel Mallia. She’d have risked getting shot up for being in a place inconvenient to the ministerial car.

  7. Arnold Layne says:

    Does anybody know what became of the British citizen? Was he arrested? is he still in detention?

    Has the Opposition called for the resignation of the Minsiter?

    They should introduce a parliamentary motion of no confidence. It will never get through, but at least they will have made an eloquent point.

    Ministers, drivers, all out of control.
