How dare anybody publish photographs of a corrupt cabinet minister taking a dip (in the sea)?

The executive chairman of the Malta Council for Science and Technology pronounces himself yet again on the latest technological developments within the progressive and liberal Muscat Party.

A cabinet minister’s corruption and secret offshore companies set up immediately he became Energy Minister are not a problem to Earl Grey. The corrupt cabinet minister’s refusal to answer journalists’ questions about the matter is not a problem either. Nor is the shady and murky business surrounding the Power Station Built By Our Friends.

But if journalists publish photographs of that same corrupt cabinet minister fooling around in the sea as though he hasn’t a worry in the world, then that’s a major scandal.

The lunatics – literally – have taken over the asylum.
