latest comment from C Xerri, 08/05/2021 11:55: Pity that these decision are taken behind closed doors and no reasons are given for including or leaving out a country of the list. So there could be reasons which have nothing to do with the Covid-19.

TMID Editorial: Hunting with children - They doth demand the unreasonable

The Federation for Hunting and Conservation (FKNK) has, naturally, always been one of the foremost voices in defending hunting on the island, in a seemingly endless feud with environmental...

latest comment from Evarist Saliba, 08/05/2021 12:15: I am very disappointed that by now there has been no joint declaration by Government and the Opposition stating that they have full confidence in the two Commissioners whom FKNK want to resign or be dismissed. Such a declaration would have protected both political parties from any selective retaliatory action. Why are Malta's politicians so timorous in the face of such an outrageous challenge? Both Commissioners deserve this backing.

latest comment from John, 07/05/2021 07:11: Too many people are dying and being maimed. What’s so complicated about adding a few more speed cameras and using the CCTV there already is new TM vehicles with multiple cameras on board to monitor what’s happening on the roads and actively enforce the law by dishing out fines calmly against video evidence? Don’t the authorities want to save lives or are they more afraid to lose a few votes? Only a few people like disorder.
