latest comment from Mark Debono, 14/05/2024 10:10: The 5th point should have been the lack of action to investigate and interview the suspects by the inadequate PC Gafa and the helpful puppet VB the so called AG who seems to be helping her puppet master. And last but not least the other puppet of the justice minister?

‘Change your tone,’ Abela tells Grech as he warns supporters ‘not to fall for provocation’

Prime Minister Robert Abela called on Nationalist Party leader Bernard Grech to change his tone, and warned supporters “not to fall for provocation” and to keep a sense of calm. Abela...

latest comment from adriang, 14/05/2024 07:36: The arrogance of this man is mind boggling. He's criticising the opposition's tone whilst agressively leading a charge, together with his minions, against the Courts, the journalists, and the Civil Society NGOs. Truly unbelievable and sad to say the least.

latest comment from S. Camilleri, 14/05/2024 12:24: A positive editorial. The problem is the Government is heavily indebted to, and committed in favour of, big business and "developers" and therefore any questions raised here can only lead to "balanced" answers favouring big business and "developers".

latest comment from S. Camilleri, 14/05/2024 12:29: Garden? What garden? Can only see a litter-bin, concrete paving, and some concrete blocks. Oh, there are also a few saplings; which I doubt will last the Summer.

Steward Health Care says it is selling the 30+ hospitals it operates across the US

Steward Health Care said it plans to sell off all its hospitals after announcing this week that it filed for bankruptcy protection. The Dallas-based company, which operates more than 30 hospitals...

latest comment from Angus Black, 14/05/2024 11:23: Yes, Steward would have 33 hospitals to sell, at fire sale prices, and our three hospitals would have fallen, again, in foreign hands. To add insult to injury, this corrupt regime will use 36 million to make good for a loan Scicluna et al, gave to Steward with taxpayers' money as guarantee!

latest comment from Antonio Ghisleri, 13/05/2024 17:39: Can someone enlighten your readers (and me) as to which provision of law (a) empowers a magistrate to object to the presence of court reporters in domestic violence cases, (b) empowers any court to ban the publication of the name of a suspect at the arraignment stage, and (c) empowers any court to keep secret the charges preferred against any accused person?

latest comment from J. Borg, 13/05/2024 17:15: Abela was installed by Muscat to perpetuate what he was doing. That was his 'patt imxajtan'. He has a debt to pay. That is where his loyalty lies. The hell with the country and its people! Who cares about Gahan anyway?!
