It appears that the majority of our politicians have a disturbing lack of understanding of what befits their position and what, most certainly, doesn't. First we have our head of state packing up his bags and going off for a month in Peru on...

I could have sworn that slick diplomacy is one of the very few essential ingredients required to make the grade as politician. However, renegade MP Franco Debono (I'm wary of actually using the prefix 'Nationalist') seems really keen to prove this...

It would appear that the devoted flock has not exactly taken the archbishop’s exhortations to celebrate religious feasts with “a true Christian spirit and dignity” to heart – at least, not if the opening of the festa season this past weekend is...

We're officially part of a generation where people will do practically anything for their fifteen minutes of fame – even if the fame is vicarious and can only be achieved by shoving a teenage daughter on Youtube for the delectation of sexual...
