The Leader of the Opposition gave us the benefit of his wisdom today, with an opinion piece in The Times full of resounding phrases and portentous remarks. I have cherry-picked from it and added his thoughts while writing.  Muscat’s dicta will be...

Interspersed with his spasms of self-praise, telling us he's one of the best criminal lawyers with which the country has been blessed and how he has the solution to everything under the sun, the truth came to the top, rising like cream to the top of...

I don't usually read the Orizzont, because its claim to be an independent daily grates ever so slightly more than somewhat.  It's not that it's not a daily, it's the other claim that makes me wince. Be that as it may be, I was passing the odd minute...

Amateur criminologists had a field day with the New Year's Day double-killing, now happily blown off the national gossip agenda by the Franco Debono "look at me, I'm Sandra Dee" saga. In the same vein, amateur psychologists are having great fun...

It was to be expected, given their outlook on life, that Labour's faithful little followers (Lil'Elves, just to annoy them) Laiviera and Grech Mintoff, would latch onto the anniversary of the murder of Karin Grech to make their usual cheap political...
