It’s simply amazing how the Nationalist Party has twisted the Bill which intends to give more freedom and not less to journalists, and thus strengthen freedom of expression by abolishing criminal libel.

The PN went so far as to say that this Bill aims to make even those who are on Facebook register with the authorities.

When Simon Busuttil said this he knew that he was not telling the truth. When Dr Busuttil makes such claims he can only appeal to extremely diehard supporters. Objective people will reconsider their past support for the PN.

Joseph Muscat, in fact, has revealed that important people within the PN have had enough of Dr Busuttil and are seriously considering joining the Labour movement. And the Prime Minister has appealed to all Labour supporters to welcome these people.

Perhaps Dr Busuttil knows this and that is why he is increasingly resorting to political gimmicks or theatricals, as we have seen in Parliament recently.
