latest comment from il Bumbardun, 24/04/2024 17:03: The broadcasting authority is wrong in this case of blatant censorship. We should be proud of Maltese upholding Malta's name and competence in important roles in world forums and the EU and not censor them. Chris Fearne, Roberta Metsola and Ian Borg fall in this category of worthy Maltese who have risen above petty and fractious local politics.

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.

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.
