latest comment from Matthew Seychell, 10/07/2020 17:37: What Party she will representing? She wears different hats. Depending on the occasion. She is a puppet, with an interim position. Their tyranny and oppressively style of leadership is known. The very few are known, and their strategy will not succeed. Silently, Dr Delia managed to expose their objective - "To take back control of the PN Party and the country".

latest comment from Philip Micallef, 10/07/2020 15:17: Steps in the right direction but our broadcasting needs a complete revamp. Needs to reflect today’s society and study what other jurisdictions have done by hiving off all the matters related to politics to a special parliamentary committee made up of MPs and representatives of civil society and terminate once and for all the present stop watch management. All the rest including the technical aspects and social media which is overtaking TV merged with telecom authorities. Has been done in other countries successfully.

TMID Editorial: NAO report – No more dragging of feet

The deal reached by the government, under the leadership of Joseph Muscat and with Konrad Mizzi as minister responsible for health, this week was fiercely attacked by the National Audit Office in a...

latest comment from Wilfred Camilleri , 10/07/2020 13:05: The government is dragging its feet because it's deeply embedded in the cesspool of corruption. A new leader, does not mean the swamp has been drained. A few were dismissed from ministerial responsibilities but the swamp is still theming with corrupt labour MPs. Mizzi, Muscat, Cardona, Scicluna and Grech are still around and influencing the government. Abela must kick them all out of the PL Caucus. Abela, if he's not part of the corruption, something that seems less and less certain as time goes by, must drain the swamp.....

Man grievously injured in construction site fall

A 49-year-old man from Mellieha was grievously injured in a construction site fall on Thursday. The accident took place in Tumbarellu, Għaxaq, at around 1pm, the police said. He fell...

latest comment from Monsieur Papandrieu, 10/07/2020 06:26: The man is a fine gentleman: because of covid-19 he lost his very good overseas job and found an alternative in the construction industry. This was not his line, so the question is: was he given enough time to settle in this new area of work for him or was the money into the hands of the ``developer`` more important than the safety of this man ? Malta must take drastic and fierce action against these guerilla developers and not have them protected as that skunkish MDA appears to constantly do.
