Constitutionally our neutrality is petty obsolete as it envisions a world of two superpowers, one of which has long since ceased to exist. It’s about time we join our real blood brothers (the Italians and the British) in NATO.

What the flip do you mean by “blanket-blank ” ? Is it Maltish for Blankety blank a la Terry Wogan?

[Daphne – Typo. I’ve corrected it. Thank you for the proof-reading.]

It was the Ark Royal in fact. It had to berth at St Paul’s Bay – the irony is that the people who lost most business that day were those of the Three Cities area – St Paul’s Bay and Bugibba were taken over by large groups of Maltese and by British sailors (and their families).

Funny that you had to mention this today as this week I found a couple of photos that were taken from Valletta, showing dockyard workers commandeering a tanker and blocking the harbour. I had found these amongst some books that I had bought from an auction.

It’s known as “blind faith in bad leadership”.

Labour supporters let the party do the thinking for them.

I think it was the Ark Royal that didn’t manage to get into the Grand Harbour.
