Something alarming just happened..



The Headlines speak for themselves. On Thursday the 3rd of December the Court Justice of Malta threw away a libel case against actress Pia Zammit who was wrongly accused of being somehow supportive towards Nazism after playing a character that carried the swastika symbol on her costume.

Hugs,

The Kettle Team
