latest comment from A Micallef, 12/05/2021 06:11: Had the public ever been given any explanation about the actions that were allegedly taken about the personal doctor who used his medical licence to confer messages that had no medical benefit whatsoever? There might or might not be a specific law that covers the alleged actions but the puplic needs to know that having a medical licence does not mean that one is protected from investigations when one's licence is used as a cover for helping to orchestrate possible shady manipulation of serious crime.

latest comment from Saviourn, 12/05/2021 05:21: Shame of me for what? Shame on me for stating the un contested obvious? Shame on me for pointing out to her , the ridicules situation she put herself in, and maybe, take my constructive criticism and change that comical costume, that bring shame not only on her but the whole nation, she is representing. All the Costumes, I saw is her Promotional video was a great works in absurdity. After all she wasting the millions of our taxes in this travesty of banality. Having said all that, I wish that I am 100% wrong, which I am afraid I never am. But again, again there is always that No.1, and I hope this is the one, for all our sakes and I wished her all the luck in the world, but her naïve behaviour might cost her and us the winning of the competition.

latest comment from Evarist Saliba, 11/05/2021 20:52: A 16 year-old girl can hardly live on her own for long days in a small place like Malta, whenever she decides to do so, unless she finds some sort of help. Have the social services, found out how and why this is happening so often? Considering the age of the person, the police may also have the responsibility to find out.

latest comment from Phil Zammit, 12/05/2021 03:21: HUNTING - is an oxymoron for and in Malta. There's nothing to hunt in Malta. It's like trying to launch a fishing boat and go fishing in Malta's Chadwick Lakes. Crazy isn't it?

Social workers support decriminalisation, but not legalisation of cannabis use

latest comment from Ir-Rielju., 11/05/2021 15:06: Your ignorance towards the WHOLE cannabis issue is so big it makes me cringe with embarrassment. I consume 'Pedanios', a medical grade cannabis bought from your local pharmacy. The label gives you the grade which is 22% THC and only 1% CBD. I can assure you that it's good stuff and very potent, even better than some stuff found in the black market. If you find no issues with tobacco, alcohol and junk foods which are all known major killers healthwise, you should find no problem whatsoever with cannabis which has ZERO kills to it's name. So stop embarrassing yourself and do the research before commenting lies and old Reagan fairy tales biex ma tkomplix taqa ghan-n**k.
