“What a narrow escape we had from this man, even though . . .”

We DID NOT have a narrow escape from this man! He froze Malta’s application for EU membership with the consequence that Malta ended up joining at least 2 years later and at the bottom of a 10 strong list. Had Malta joined 2 years before it did, the social, economic and financial benefits would have been far greater than having joined when we did. What this man did to our nation is criminal (and sick). Lest we forget!

The most incredible thing is that in his article Sant did not say what tax should replace VAT… as if he never was in power and abolished VAT replacing it with whatever it was…

In reply to David S. Strange is an understatement.

And yet everyone still remembers Mr. Mintoff for his military style of governing. My generation will remember and always thank Mr. Dom Mintoff for his help in getting rid of this nutter. Thanks perit.

“How can the same people who brought us to where we are today, accept the need of action to ease the effects of their own decisions?”

Now, had he said that in1997 I may actually have agreed with him.

One of the many (superficial) reasons Labour mentioned against the introduction of VAT was that if America does not have VAT why should we, a puny island, have it. Well, a 2008 presidential nominee, Mike Huckabee, actually supports the FairTax whereby all federal taxes would be replaced by a sales tax. The main reasoning being that tax on income is unjust in principle and punishes the enterprisng, industrious people.

Now one could argue for or against however we now see somebody who after all these years still persists in his mistaken mindset whilst all the world has actually moved on.

This is truly a dangerous being…….a so called progressive who continuously questions basic moral values and in the process elevates himself as the sole authority about same. His successor is even worst – if for any reason because values are pondered over hamburgers.Good riddance!
