Injustice
It was reported that a delivery man was made to resign for taking a sack of potatoes from a supermarket just before it was dumped into a skip. The reason given by the employing company was that this incident had breached the trust the company enjoyed with its client.
Jerry del Missier, the former Barclays Bank executive at the centre of the interest rate rigging scandal that cost the lender £290 million, has walked away with a pay-off of almost £9 million.
As the saying goes, an injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere.

This re minds me of what went on during the w.w.2 (according to some old timers). It appears that in spite of the acute hunger that prevailed on the Island during the constant bombing, some Maltese Islanders did alright for themselves especially where certain palms were greased, consequently whenever someone was caught with swiping a bit of sugar or whatever, they were incarcerated. However the odd individual who was not interested in the small bagful but rather in how much could be carried, when caught was able to have it hushed up by giving some of the stolen loot. One would think that this would have been perceived as accessory after the fact right?, wrong. The big crooks always get away by who they know and unfortunately Malta is no exception. Shame on the company that did this. Putting a family breadwinner on the un-employed heap is a poor excuse for such a comp. Anthony C. Abela Aust.

A husband took his wife to a disco on the weekend.
There was a guy on the dance floor giving it all he was worth - breakdancing, moonwalking, back flips, the works.
The wife turns to her husband and says: "See that guy?, 25 years ago he proposed to me and I turned him down."
Her husband says: "Looks like he's still celebrating!!!"
