They’ve hidden Silvio Scerri and replaced him with Kurt Farrugia

And how inappropriate this is. They really haven’t a clue. Instead of describing his protection officer/driver’s behaviour as unacceptable in the norms of law-abiding human decency, he tries to excuse him – which is not his way of defending him, but his way of defending his choice of him. Manuel Mallia is not defending Paul Sheehan. He is defending himself.
At least they had the good sense to understand that the last person they needed at that table is Silvio Scerri.

He will feel obliged to make good for his apparent show of weakness.

Apparently criticizing what happened means:
a) you’re sucking up to foreigners;
b) frustrated because Labour is in government and/or;
c) how would you like it if someone smashed into your car and sped off?
It’s no wonder I’m becoming more antisocial.
(a) Non sequitur. The police are there to protect and serve members of the community and tourists. If you were a victim of a crime in a foreign democracy, you would expect the police to help.
(b) Yes, we are frustrated that Labour is in government because it promised a greater degree of competence but proved to be completely inept. And, the real issue is that in a representative democracy MPs serve the electorate and not the other way around.
(c) Non sequitur. Someone has sped off after smashing into my car on a couple of occasions. That does not mean I take out my gun and shoot at hiim. If that happened I’d be arrested for attempted murder even if I lie and say it was simply a warning shot. Should a policeman who was out of uniform and who failed to identify himself be given any special privilege?
Um… thank you.
I know all that but it’s a waste of time arguing with idiots.
As you said, Prynne, it is a waste of time arguing with idiots. I’m afraid Kevin has done just that!
Let’s be positive. All this stress and tension might cause him to lose a bit of that massive weight he’s accumulated since March 2013.
Did they put a cushion under Kurt? He looks taller than usual.
Skont hdejn min ipoggi.
But now they will be, little and large.
Blame brush-off on to other people until the loop-hole of “security-drivers” appears.
Excuse the language : BULLSHIT

Warning shots, pity the car was in the way. Bloody photographers.
I see Saviour is still repulsed by violence.
Warning shots? I thought that was backfire.
Will someone tell us who was responsible for the Ministry’s GIDBA FAHXIJA press release issued yesterday right after the incident.
Another 1980s style frame up / cover up.
And by the way, for Pete’s sake, show us that beer bottle. And no not a similar bottle, but that particular bottle. We know the tricks by now no?
What a farce of a government!
Back to the Golden Years of Labour’s police violence on civilians.
With time Kurt Farrugia is resembling more and more a modern Oompa Loompa.

That explains a lot about the size of the Minister. It’s the chocolate factory’s fault after all!
And the transformation is complete:

Whilst all this is happening, Marlene Mizzi is busy tweeting on how great it is that Fra Mudest was chosen as Malta’s character for The European Fairy Tale Route.
What? Not Gahan?
Because all the actors suitable for the part are in government busily screwing up the country.
That woman inhabits a parallel universe.
Actually Silvio ‘DYKWIA’ Scerri was replaced with a 2 for the price of 1 package: Kurt Farrugia and Ramona Attard.

The driver was suspended. He should be arrested for attempted murder.
This is a terrible incident of road rage, involving a man with a weapon.
Is this what Manuel Mallia is protecting when he describes his driver as a quiet man.
Minister Mallia go to HELL.
They should investigate whoever was involved in issuing Government’s press release yesterday night. It was nothing short of a cover-up.
When they are lucky enough not to have witnesses, they turn the story upside down: in this case, before they realised there are eyewitnesses, they made up a story of a drunken Scotsman with a beer bottle who crashed into the minister’s car and sped off.
The minister’s driver defended himself against an escaping car by shooting at its tail-lights.
Wasn’t the driver cleared by the Malta Security Service before he was appointed the minister’s driver and since when are ministers’ drivers armed?
HMS Northumberland has entered Grand Harbour. Watch out, our Manwel. Stenna xi missile jew xi 8-inch round ghal go sormok.
This minister has been protecting and defending criminals all his life. He knows nothing else.
Minister Manuel Mallia looks like a typical bloated frog.
Missu xuffier tal-karozza l-ohra kien Owen Bonnici b’xi Janice mieghu. Kien jisparalu ukoll?
The statement that security drivers are armed is simply false. I know a security driver under PN. It states black on white on his card that he was a security driver. He told me he never carried a gun.
Minister Mallia said that he knows the driver as a “quiet man”. If he weren’t a quiet man what would he have done?
In short, is he saying that waving a gun about and using it is excusable in case of a road accident? Because in that case, using the buses actually seems like a safe option.
Kurt Farrugia’s body language showed that he wasn’t comfortable being there. Hmm rather interesting.
