Watch: Do you remember this? PN leadership hopeful Bernard Grech sings in Air Malta advert

There is a growing interest in the Nationalist Party leadership race....

latest comment from Pierre Micallef-Grimaud, 08/08/2020 16:58: Malta Independent, what exactly are you trying to insinuate? I know Dr Bernard Grech LL.D. personally both in his legal career and through the love of drama, music & acting. He is one 'fun' character to be with. He could be dead serious during a court case, in which we both have been sitting opposite each other in the court room and when it comes to relaxation, he loves to participate in any musical or dramatic production. He has the right capabilities of leading the Nationalist Party as he is also a good fighter. He is not the type that would point at someone and hurt his feelings. He fights for what is right, just and democratic.

latest comment from K bonnici, 08/08/2020 08:17: And hopefully the wearing of visors does not meet the 'mask' requirement. Who really believes exhaling, coughing or sneezing breath is filtered by a visor? And most visors are worn pushed halfway up! Whenever you see visors being worn by health workers in the media, they are IN ADDITION to a mask not instead of...

latest comment from Adrian, 08/08/2020 16:32: We're in the start of a second wave where we've lost the plot completely. It's in no way controlled, and if you're coming here to enjoy our lovely nightclubs, you're taking it home with you. We're banking on the UK caring as little for it's citizens as we do.

Coronavirus: 49 new cases push total number close to 1,000

latest comment from Michael Walter, 08/08/2020 09:56: No doubt if the annual 'flu virus figures were pumped out on a daily basis, we would see a similar picture. But of course that would run against the narrative and people's freedom could not be curtailed.

latest comment from Michael Walter, 08/08/2020 09:45: The farce continues. The wolves must be laughing their socks off. So easy to frighten the sheep with the aid of a twenty four hour a day propaganda machine running full blast. Across Europe millions have woken up and recognise the size of the lie told, a true crime against humanity. This of course will be suppressed, The Marxists must keep control of the flock.

latest comment from baslajewgidra, 07/08/2020 19:52: I am in full agreement with all the health concerns of MAM but punishing the patients and using them as pawns is simply not on. You are simply damaging your case and giving the opportunity probably of being accused of acting simply with a political agenda against the gov. By not holding outpatient sessions you cause great anxiety to the patients and many will be forced to go to private clinics and hospitals and pay medical fees they can ill afford. You must understand that you are not a privileged class and do not let the public turn against you as happened previously and as happened to other categories in public entities. Just keep drumming your concerns which the public while not admitting will be listening to with wide open ears and which will be translated into soft but wide ranging pressure on gov. In their heart the ordinary public place their health and that of their dearest above any other consideration and this will be the final decisive factor.
