They gathered today in Valletta for a peaceful demonstration of solidarity with Libya and the Libyans. They gathered to send a clear message to Muammar – Free Libya! There were Libyans and there were Maltese. There were politicians and there were journalists and opinion columnists and...

I gave up waiting for Ghaddafi’s “imminent TV speech” on SKY news after about an hour or so. I ended up watching his two-minute intervention this morning and what a sight that was. The dictator sat inside an old car holding up an umbrella and claimed that he was on his way to...

Streaming from Libya. UPDATE. The site manager for this stream has stated that Benghazi is in the hands of the revolutionary groups. He also adds that they are determined to move to Tripoli to free it. Among other things, he appealed for professional doctors who can do operations. Watch live...

Such is the way of the world You can never know Just where to put all your faith And how will it grow Gonna rise up Burning back holes in dark memories Gonna rise up Turning mistakes into gold Such is the passage of time Too fast to fold And suddenly swallowed by signs Low and behold Gonna...

J’accuse featured on Sunday night’s ONE news item about the cyber warfare going on in Egypt. Here is the item in question: spread the word:TweetEmailPrintMoreLike this:Like Loading...

I just had to post this again. It’s a photo taken from the (currently comatose) blog “il-manoċċa” of a newspaper poster from “il-Gens” which has since switched to being an e-paper. In these times of lay vs church battles and humanists and saints this photo tends...

Wikipedia’s post on balconies interestingly mentions specifically the “Maltese Balcony” as an example. Even more interesting was the origins of the word “balcony” itself from the Persian “بالكانه bālkāneh” which got me wondering whether Xerxes...

James Debono penned a brilliant blog post that you can read here : There’s something about Labour. J’accuse agrees 100% with his assessment (see earlier post today “Sphinxes”) but we are not here for some general agree-fest. By browsing through the comments appended at...

Listening to Tony Blair’s ideas about the North African Uprisings could have the effect of making your blood boil. The Born Again Catholic is sounding more and more like George W. every other minute. He is more concerned about the possibilities that democratisation would open up to Islam...
