In an exclusive for J’accuse, an unidentified source has provided us with a massive leak of the “Gonzo Papers”. Here we reveal extracts from a document that first appeared in the New York Times on January 1, 1974 under the title “Fear and Loathing in the Bunker”. Given that...

This blog has had to slow down with the posts due to pressures beyond our control. We will be back over the weekend with a few summaries and reflections. In the meantime enjoy a slideshow of what the satirical facebook page Bananarepublic had to offer. There’s more to politics than...

It has become a habit in some quarters to point out the spelling deficiencies that appear on boards and menus around the island. You don’t have to be a budding board writer for the Valletta Labour Party club in order to indulge in some fantastical spelling – where the “gordon...
