The first acid test did not take long to present itself to Lawrence Gonzi.

The Naxxar fireworks tragedy will give us all an indication of what we may expect over the next five years when it comes to the "untouchables".

No one with a modicum of intelligence will ever be convinced that no person in authority did not know what was going on in 21st September Avenue. But, being "untouchable", fireworks fanatics continue to get away with it.

Dr Gonzi, it is time to enforce the law on this and many other issues. It is time to cure ourselves of that terrible affliction that we inherited from the Brits - Nelson's Eye.

While you are at it, please do not forget to ban the senseless petards that we have to endure year in, year out.
