Jeffrey you are speaking too much and by doing so your are giving a field play to those who want to see you destroyed. The investigations by the police have cleared you of any misdoing and you should let the case rest there. I believed that you are wise enough to know this. Those who still believe in the impartiality of our police and courts should now shut up unless they believe in kangaroo courts or media courts.

Steve Abela, I agree with you 100%. In yesterday's programme he was not any more convincing than he was on BondiPlus. And even if he is truly not guilty, his political career is doomed.

Perhaps JPO should speak to the people in the street and see what they think. He of course would then have to file thousands of libel suits, and spend more than he was going to get from the Mistra disco.

I must admit that I am somewhat jealous of JPO, as I think that living in Fantasy land can't be all bad.!

GET REAL!!!!

Saw JPO's incredible charade yesterday on One TV in the programme hosted by Charlon Gouder ViciVersa. He was not very convincing, kept repeating himself ad nauseam and seemed to be doing his very best not to let both the programme presenter and the three guest journalists put in a word. He may not be technically guilty of any wrong-doing according to the AG but he's finished as a politician according to the top echelons of the PN and most level-headed supporters on both sides. And the more he tries to exonerate himself, the deeper he is sinking into the quagmire.
