@The_Balkanista @RosianneCutajar @AnaGomesMEP @PL_Malta@MaltaGov Trying harder than purely necessary would just give you more significance than you deserve. #nobody
@The_Balkanista @RosianneCutajar @AnaGomesMEP @PL_Malta@MaltaGov Judging by your profile picture, she might be able to give you some tips on excessive makeup (and how to pull off a decent #duckface) 🦆
@FrancisZD@PNmalta@TheTimesofMalta Are you intentionally trying to deceive or is it that you can't read a speech?

@SuisDaphne@jger003 @andrewbriffa @pcaruanagalizia@ChrisCardonaMP Yes to burden of #proof being on the claimant to present proof of allegations, no to fishing expeditions intended only to see what you can 'find' given that the original claim fell flat 🎣🎣🎣#FakeNews
@JofNASAreth@pcaruanagalizia@ChrisCardonaMP@jger003 There can be and IS a double standard in what behaviour we expect from politicians. What there cannot be is a double standard on the burden of #proof. Claimant is ALWAYS expected to present proof otherwise an unverified claim is simply a spurious and unfounded #allegation.
@JofNASAreth@pcaruanagalizia@ChrisCardonaMP@jger003 Burden of #proof is on the claimant. It is the claimant that needs to provide #evidence of claim. Otherwise any one can invent anything and the accused have to twist themselves into knots trying to disprove the undisprovable.
@IAMTFH@jger003 @andrewbriffa @pcaruanagalizia@ChrisCardonaMP@notesfromdaphne "She is right to and we all know it." Not that it needs to be pointed out but suspicion of character is not equal to onus of proof. Plus basing actions on rationale that "everyone knows" leads quickly down dangerous rabbit hole. What happened to verifiable claims? No to #postfact
@SuisDaphne @andrewbriffa @pcaruanagalizia@ChrisCardonaMP@jger003 So you're in favour of him continuing his criminal libel against a murdered journalist? Aren't you in favour of freedom of expression and the protection of media freedom?
