Wow. Graffitti marching side by side with members of Imperium Europa.
Hence the “black shirt” bit, probably.
What do you mean?
Boots?
Ave Astrid. Morituri te salutant.
Xi hbieb ghandek Mrs. Vella. Prosit.
La parola d’ordine è una sola, categorica e imperativa per tutti, essa già trasvola e accende i cuori dalle Alpi all’oceano Indiano: vincere. E vinceremo!
(Well perhaps from City Gate to … City Gate?)
Not to be pedantic but the correct quote should be “categorica e impegniativa” and not “categorica e imperativa”.
No, my dear friend.
Look it up anywhere and you will find it is “imperativa.”
No, you are not correct. Listen to a recording: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etd0OHL_sN8 at 0:58
I must admit that both versions are given:

Are you always so tedious or just on Sundays?
“STAND UP AND BE COUNTED” . I counted 267 protesters, and that was near Wembley’s.
By the time they were near Saint Francis Church around fifty had gone into McDonalds, and my thought was that things were getting out of hand for poor Astrid. By the time they reached Pjazza Regina the crowd dispersed to the coffee shops.
No one dared reach Pjazza San Gorg, the walk-through fountain was dancing to Camilleri’s music.
She must really have been pleased with Jo Meli’s “Bright Star” bit (his capitals, not mine).

Joe DVX Meli marched with Astrid to protect our heritage. NO to the destruction of our FASCIST gate. VIVA IL DUCE. F’ghoxx Piano.
In fact Bergonzi’s designs are Fascist style.
Those who stood up this morning have been counted. They were not more than 200 (and would not have filled Piano’s open air theatre which is opening in 2013). Will it be long before Astrid understands that it’s all over?
What a collection of weirdos. What is a fascist doing in a supposedly environmental rally? And what were the Ramblers moaning about? I cannot see the connection unless they were all out for a walk to make up the numbers.
Water theft?? Din taf ghaliex kontra taghha? Ghax dawn huma il-gabilotti li jiehdu dan l-ilma biex isaqqu il-haxix, fosthom il-gdur, u ghalhekk ma tridx li jkun hawn gdur ghajr hliefa.
Jien rajt lin-news u malli dehru dawk l-erba purcinelli u dik il-belha ta’ Astrid bdejt nidhaq, ghax ghidt f’ qalbi, “Mur ara x’ se taghmlilha illejla fuq il-blog dik l-ohra!”
Imma, skuzi ta, mhux huma jistiednuha? Zewg tuzzani nies f’dak il-maltemp li kien, bil-lasti ta’ xkupi f’ idejhom? Mhux bil-fors twaqqahhom ghaz-zufjett? U biex taghqad ghandha accent wisq tad-dahq meta titkellem bil-Malti. Poor soul.
Just the crowd I would have wished for back in the 80s. I bet they would have formed a phalanx to face the SMU and its cronies. Oh what short memories!

Joe, grow up – or is it to late now? The 1985 events should have taught you a lesson. There is no difference between red shirts or black shirts. They use the same methods to suppress freedom of speech. That’s why you felt at home when you contested on behalf of Labour.
More unholy alliances (see comments):

Ms. Daphne,
Your blogs are sheer entertainment and eye-openers.
Jekk Astrid trid ambjent ahjar tmur tinqafel Ghawdex u ma tersaqx quddiem nies. Thallina bi kwietna.
Mario Philip Azzopardi (was he in drag at yesterday’s protest? – I thought I recognised him) wants a theatre that mirrors our national soul – and he’s actually surprised that Norman Lowell agrees? Of course he does, it’s ‘spot on’ (as Lowell put it) far right gibberish.
Gugu…..what are you implying?? That we Gozitans are a lower class? By no way, my dear friend!
No, he means that Astrid, who has a house in Gozo, should lock herself up there and leave the rest of us alone.
But yes, you’re right in that he wasn’t thinking of you who live there. You probably don’t want her either, whining her way round Marsalforn and Oleander.
