The shoddy low-standard coalition
I have written quite frequently about the attitude ‘don’t rock the boat’ some, or rather most Maltese politicians in office have. This attitude came to the fore again when the Nationalist and Labour MEPs present for the vote once again became allies in opposing the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive in the European Parliament.

The Paradox of Tolerance
Sharing this, it came to my attention because it was posted on a friend’s Facebook profile. I had come across Karl Popper’s ideas as a philosopher of science when studying modules on science and society, and science education a while ago. I wasn’t aware of his ‘paradox of tolerance’ idea. Karl Popper’s argument should make…

Il-balbuljata dwar il-ktieb ‘storiku’ dwar Hitler
Ikolli ngħid li ta’ spiss immur nara x’hemm ġdid fuq l-ixkafef tal-ħwienet tal-kotba. Hemm ħanut tas-Sliema (u ieħor tal-istess ditta, Blata-l-Bajda) li huwa armat mhux ħażin. Drabi oħra immur ħanut viċin tiegħi ta’ chain prinċipali, ħafna anqas kotba, għax il-biċċa l-kbira bestsellers, rivisti, kartolini u stationery ikollu, imma l-ixkafef tal-kotba pubblikati Malta pjuttost mimlija jkunu.…

Żero-karbonju jridu jew ma jridux l-MEPs Maltin…
Huwa inutili li l-Ministru tal-Finanzi Clyde Caruana jwaħħal fuq pressjoni mill-Unjoni Ewropea dwar in-nuqqas ta’ sostenibilità fis-sussidji lil kulħadd fuq il-prezzijiet tal-elettriku, meta l-Gvern li jifforma parti minnu, inkluż il-Prim Ministru Robert Abela, u l-Ministru tal-Enerġija Miriam Dalli, kif ukoll l-Membri Parlamentari Ewropej Maltin kollha kemm huma qed jibgħatu l-messaġġ li kollox ‘business as usual’.…

Il-ONE News eċitati dwar l-inkompetenza ta’ Miriam Dalli
Illum, forsi għax l-ewwel ta’ April, b’ħafna inċens tant li tħoss l-istonku tiela’ ONE News b’eċitament kbir qalilna kif Miriam Dalli reġgħet ftehmet fil-Kunsill tal-Unjoni Ewropea biex Malta tkompli bid-deroga dwar mit-tnaqqis ta’ 15% fl-użu tal-gass fossili għall-ġenerazzjoni tal-elettriku. Li ma qalux huwa li l-Ministru kellha titkarrab għal din id-deroga frott l-inkompetenza tal-gvern. Frott l-ikompetenza…

Il-Pulizija tal-Moralità
Ivan Grech Mintoff u l-fundamentalisti tal-lemin-estrem reliġjuż stil Amerikan (jissejħu ‘religious right’ l-Amerika) huma fost l-aktar nies skifużi, mimlijin mibgħeda u fl-istess ħin redikoli li għad irrid nara. Qażżew lil kulħadd jippontifikaw u jxerrdu l-ġenn kollu mibgħeda tagħhom. Jimitaw lil Trump u l-Pastors fundamentalisti tant li jdardruk. Ideat importati mill-aktar organizazzjonijiet u politiċi skifużi u…
