David Zammit – I have never suggested doing away with all Labourites. (Or the MLP, for that matter – a good opposition is a healthy one, but unfortunately it’s just a destructive one instead.) Please don’t compare me to the likes of Norman Lowell, because I have absolutelyu nothing in common with the man or his (lack of?) principles.

I am simply stating things the way I have witnessed them (as opposed to how they have been “fed” to me, as appears to be the case with you and your ilk).

As for trying to score points, I wouldn’t go down that road if I were you. The MLP, whose past you seem to be unaware of, would surpass the PN by far.

Incidentally, it seems like you haven’t yet heard the one about a Labour MP’s sister (also prominent in her field) having an affair with a (brand new dad) PN candidate, have you? What would you consider that? 50/50? Hehe

Dear David Zammit – I really admire you. I really do. To keep on writing the way you do and replying to all the postings which are always against you. And I totally agree with you when you wrote:
“Just admit it you’re nationalists and will remain so for the rest of your lives regardless of what Labour does or who leads it. You are just kidding yourselves when you say that you long for a serious opposition bla bla. Anyone who has more than the intellectual capacity of a fried egg can see this”.
That’s just too true.

@ Daphne Caruana Galizia:

Yet another great column. Absolutely perfect. Keep them coming. No other columnist matches your wit, powers of observation and style (and somehow you manage to crystallize my thoughts and observations in your columns).

@David Zammit

Being an assiduous frequenter of this blog, you must have noticed that I do not belong to the ‘Forget-Never-Forgive-Never’ school of thought that some of our fellow bloggers share.

But to be fair and objective, you cannot even remotely compare what you mentioned to the countless violent premeditated incidents mentioned here.

I shudder to think that you heartily mean what you are implying in your last comment, my friend.

I can see that arrogance has a new name.

@moderator

The one who climbed onto an aeroplane with a gun is long gone. The one who gave a presidential pardon to a drug trafficker is still in San Anton. The one who had a company with a man convicted of drug trafficking narrowly didn’t get elected. The one who wanted to build a nightclub on a Natura 2000 valley and who feebly tried to deny any knowledge of it is holding the Prime Minister at ransom since he can’t get the ‘independent’ media to pressure him into resigning since he has a one seat majority. The one who knew of a racket of corruption at the ADT is also in parliament mind you, as is the one who offerred his resignation, which resignation was kindly declined by the PM.

[Moderator – This isn’t a football game and we aren’t trying to score points against each other, which is why you probably won’t find a single person here speaking well of Jesmond and his heroin junkie friends.]

Well Mr. David Zammit I use ‘me’ as Ulysses used ‘nobody’. Think about it. Do you understand, or do I have to make a coloured drawing.
Does it hurt you, I am sorry but freedom, complete freedom was the name of our fight. Freedom for ourselves and freedom for people like you to write what they feel, when they feel and how they feel. It makes me happy to see that our fight was not in vain.
You are right people like me do not win or loose an election. Thousands upon thousands of electors, for election after election, win elections. I have never claimed that my arguments should feature in anybody’s agenda. I was never expecting any element of justification. What should I justify, the fear of those years. It is you whose trying to justify those years and actions. Those are facts and history is history. As for ethnic cleansing classifications like: ‘DNA’s – ‘Those are not family’, surely I can never have the capacity to instruct some elements of the mlp.
But then again who am I to compare myself to someone who claims to have ‘more than the intellectual capacity of a fried egg’.
