Following his ban from Instagram and Facebook, controversial social media personality Andrew Tate said that he was receiving up to 10,000 death threats per day before his accounts were removed.

In response to the bans, Tate stated that his online abuse claims were ‘ignored’, going on to suggest that Instagram also ignored his attempts at supporting women through charitable donations to charities which support women against domestic violence.

“The media is spinning a false image of me on repeat, and Instagram bowing to pressure is a massive shame. I will always have millions of fans around the world and my platform would be a beacon of light, teaching people of all genders and races how to respect one another for years to come,” Tate said.

The former kickboxer suggested that banning him would only inspire more hate mobs and division, calling on the platform to allow him to ‘continue educating the youth of today’ on his values.

The recent mass street brawl in Hamrun (and a number of others) stirred national conversation on the state of Malta’s security, with everyday citizens & politicians alike airing their concerns & frustrations.

With the support and collaboration of PN Gozo spokesperson Alex Borg, PN spokesperson for Home Affairs Joe Giglio highlighted the Nationalist Party’s security-related proposals for Malta, arguing that the country’s security is indeed being threatened.

The first one calls for the strengthening of the police force by improving conditions, highlighting how the force is demotivated, overworked, overstretched and underpaid. The second calls for lawbreaking foreigners to be deported immediately without possibility of return while the third proposes the strengthening of law enforcement agencies. Army involvement was suggested in the fourth point whilst, in the fifth, Giglio highlights how Malta’s courts should be given enough resources to adapt to today’s laws through a new Criminal Code, as opposed to the procedure written in 1854.

From the Hamrun brawl, 2 Syrian men were arrested whilst 11 others were identified and are expected to be taken to court with a pending citation and charges of breaking public peace and disobeying a police officer’s orders.

Budget will focus on the little guy and less fortunate says Prime Minister

Aug 20 2022

Speaking on ONE Radio, Prime Minister Robert Abela said that the Budget financial aid will mainly concern the little guy and those most in need in society.

Speaking on the programme ‘Sibt il-Punt’, Abela was asked about the preparations being made in lieu of the looming 2022 Budget. He revealed that the proposals being inputted are not only being analysed but also discussed in several forums and meetings.

However, the Prime Minister said that he could already highlight how the principles governing the next budget will be responsibility and sustainability.

He said that the government wishes to bill on the several incentives and measures implemented in the past, such as free transport and childcare. This, said Abela, will be mostly directed to helping those less financially able in society and to prop up the little guy in Maltese communities.

Abela said that this is all being done whilst keeping in mind the global challenges we are facing due to the Ukraine war, saying that the government will not be changing the mechanism whereby the COLA (compensation for cost of living) is determined.

Highlighting the importance of competition to stay relevant within the market and economy, Abela said that the government has always acted as a reliable shoulder for businesses. He pointed to how the government is managing the situation in regards to the increase in prices of energy and fuel as proof for this support for businesses.
