Anglu and Audrey Yesterday was a day in the sign of bias. I got an early taste of what was to be when I skimmed through the Times while waiting for my meeting with dentist and anaesthetist at the crack of dawn in hospital. The right side of the paper was dominated by the headline of Anglu [...]

Something strange happened in parliament yesterday. George Vella meant to congratulate Tonio Borg for his appointment to the post of Commissioner and apparently did so. In doing so though he came up with some weird theory about a “hidden hand” that could have been behind John Dalli’s resignation (so he did resign?) and the opposition [...]

Chris Said must not be too happy with the reception that has been afforded the Civil Cohabitation Partnerships Bill. The MGRM and AD as well as the Civil Rights group Aditus have all slammed one aspect or another of the bill. It must be said that the greatest hype has been around the expectations that [...]

When author Immanuel Mifsud was last in Luxembourg he attended a Q&A session. Someone in the crowd began her question to the author with the phrase “I’ve never read any of your books but…”, I cringed and switched off after that.

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 [...]
