I cannot believe that these people are still around after having been given the boot. Their narcissism must be their strongest quality, and it’s what keeps them going. Bully for them !!

Jo Saliba, your memory is playing tricks on you , it was the Front Freedom Fighters who were rightly rooted out by Louis Galea from the PN, they were a party within a party.
To be fair with Josie , in the South ( Zejtun Zabbar, Cottonera area) violence was the order of the day and the PN supporters had no protection from the police,probably Josie got fed up trying to convince the top brass at Pieta and organised his group.
The public woke up to the harsh reality of violence from the Tal-Barrani ‘battle’ and the political murder of Raymond Caruana.
Today if one asks a fifty year old from Mellieha or Gozo about the political violence which we experienced in the 80’s , one would hear the version from a detached point of view. Hearing the same narration from a person the same age from Zejtun would be different ; names, dates and places will surely pop up in abundance and maybe some personal anecdotes recalled too.

Prosit lil kontibuturi kollha! Tassew ittuni pjacir. Josie darba kien organizza l-FFF (Free Freedom Fighters) fiz-zmien il-lejber (Kont se nghid l-antik – skuzawni!) Kont sirt membru (tal-FFF). Imma ma niftakarx li qatt ghamilna xi haga bhala grupp. Naf li konna nircievu Newletter.

Dwar il- Lejber f’hames snin fl-oppozizjoni ma kellhomx hila johorgu programm elettorali sura ta’ nies ahseb u ara kemm kienu lesti jiggvernaw.
Laburisti ta’ veru araw x’taghmlu ghax inkella ma tkunux fil-gvern qabel it-tielet Millenju! Forsi.

True Ray. Rather than concentrate on the leadership ‘succession’ they would have been oh so busy dissecting Malta into a zillion pieces. I agree with you. God moves in strange ways – he saved this country from eternal damnation a little under three months ago.

Daphne please comment on this article. It’s such a poor and tragic sight. 64% of young people never used a condom when having sex. :(

We need sex education, and we need condom-availability. And we need them now. Please help to make it an issue.

@Ray
Yes in fact I am reliably concerned that George Abela is only waiting for the signal of a certain “Ray” to found his new party. Now that “Ray” has shown his support, I suppose there is nothing that can stand in Dr Abela’s way. U hallina habib! Why dont you rather take a look here instead.

@ Anthony – I agree it`s unfair in the sense that one day we will have to live with whoever is elected as leader. As things look at the momentthe prospect ahead is not bright. The only good thing is that Daphne will be in her element and that makes for entertaining reading. (not much consolation really)
@ Ray – plus it made us realise that when GonziPN used to warn us of the factions, internal squabbles, dagger thrusts, total disary etc he was right. It wasn`t just mud slinging.
As many people have said – if the MLP Leaders couldn`t manage and control their own party what would they have done to our country.
