latest comment from Winston Smith, 24/04/2024 13:24: The Ministry for Gozo has ran out of lies to justify this environmental atrocity. First we were told it is needed to save a couple of seconds in travelling time, then it was because of a fabricated safety concerns, now it is because Gozo allegedly needs bicycle lanes although ROTA the national cycling association disproves of the project. We are not fools!

TMID Editorial: The BA’s censorship of Metsola

The Broadcasting Authority’s directive which effectively limits reporting of activities and speeches made by European Parliament President Robert Metsola is another low point in our...

latest comment from C Xerri, 24/04/2024 12:28: ".. Metsola, who is seen as the main threat to the Labour Party in the upcoming European Parliament elections" Why is she the main threat to the Labour Party? Just because she is expected to top the list of those elected? (not to mention the fact that according to the latest surveys she is very closely followed by Alex Agius Saliba).

latest comment from Timothy Duca , 23/04/2024 23:14: Everybody is running away in all directions, nobody is responsible, as if the permits were not going to be filed or approved. How about we all extend our honest and sincere apologies and try to figure out some form of compensation to this poor man's family. His only crime was to land himself in a banana republic when seeking to relocate, to make an honest income, to support his family. Shame on you Malta, as usual, it's OK, clearly you don't care.

latest comment from joe farrugia, 23/04/2024 16:58: The business community cannot wait to get this recognition approved so that the day after they can fill up every nook and cranny with tables and chairs and then, why not, fill up the air too with nauseating music until early in the morning of the day after.

The proposed uprooting of trees and the uptake of land along the Marsalforn road is mostly to make room for a proposed 2.5-metre cycle lane, stretching approximately 4 kilometres, Gozo Minister Clint...

latest comment from Peter Borg, 24/04/2024 13:28: Uprooting 230 trees to make space for a cycling lane Minister Clint Camilleri declared. I live in Marsalforn and I use that road several times a day all year round and I hardly ever saw anyone going down to Marsalforn from Rabat or vice versa in all the years residing there. The question remains does he think all the Maltese and Gozitan people are stupid or he is the only stupid one?
