Glenn Bedingfield’s boss and travelling companion has spoken

The Prime Minister, who leads an unofficial army of internet trolls and who put Glenn Bedingfield on the state payroll at his office to launch internet offensives against enemies of the state, has gone all St Francis on us. Of course, nobody can take him seriously – precisely because of his trolls and his sidekick Bedingfield.

What he means by “hate speech” is quite obviously any discussion about Keith Schembri, Konrad Mizzi, their secret offshore operations, and now, Alfred Mifsud – and plenty more in that vein.

And the only people he wants isolated are those journalists who persist in covering the stories he doesn’t want covered.
