The Common Good Nazis

17.04.2011

Austin Bencini has been busy spinning the “hurt” every single anti-divorce lobbyist must surely have felt when their position on the Common Good was equated to that of the Nazis. How bloody typical. “Twegga‘” (it hurts) is a common adjective in our Don Camillo and Peppone political parlance. It is a technique favoured by the [...]

There are unconfirmed reports of a Libyan naval vessel in Maltese territorial waters. The reports that appeared on Al Jazeera are doing the press rounds as we speak. This follows reports earlier today that the AFM are on “stop leave” as well as separate reports that there has been an official demand from Libya that [...]

Why Free Vote is not a position on Divorce

17.02.2011

I’ve been active on Facebook today trying to spread the J’accuse list of indictments on the divorce debate in Malta. At one point I was trying to post links to the note on the wall of any politician who ventured onto Facebook to discuss divorce. One of my posts was on Evarist Bartolo’s wall as [...]

Personal Values

17.01.2011

Both the pro- and anti-divorce movements are in favour of marriage. The pro-divorce movement has announced its logo. It’s negatively atrocious – and sends out all forms of wrong signals. The only positive was the emphasis that even a pro-divorce movement is in favour of strong marriages. We’re all set for the Grand Debate of [...]

On the Street Where I Live(d)

10.11.2010

This photo has been making the rounds on Facebook and email. It is a snapshot of a particular corner of Paceville circa 1982. It’s an incredible photo that threw me back to my childhood. I was a seven year old Pacevillian there and Paul’s Punch Bowl was the place that served great pizza’s (if I [...]

Years Ago

08.11.2010

I cannot remember which article I was reading. It must have been the one about the new California Governor who will succeed Schwarzenegger. Apparently he was already governor 36 years ago. That’s a long time ago isn’t it? By my calculation it is one year over my whole lifespan. But that is not the first [...]

Raptor Camp

18.09.2010

A great report on MaltaToday about the work of CABS monitors in the Maltese countryside merits as much attention as possible. Private individuals attempt to fill the administrative lacunae and shortcomings by providing valuable assistance to the ALE officers. “Raphael Vassallo spends an afternoon with BirdLife and CABS monitors in the Maltese countryside looking for [...]

Another Scissorhands

01.08.2010

Fausto wonders why I am fascinated by the internal workings of a party I (presumably) don’t vote for and of which I am not a member. Pedants like Majistral have a habit of acting extremely naive in such circumstances and ignoring the basic fact that a political party and its mechanisms are fair game for [...]

No Bikini At-all

27.07.2010

The Bikini gets its name from the Bikini atoll which was the area targeted for a nuclear test at the same time as the fashion symbol and style hit the catwalks in Europe. Western Europeans got over the initial fuss when the seaside attire was popularised by the great Hollywood divas and anyone outside the [...]
