I’m not sure what used to happen in the 70s and 80s, so I will not comment about those days, but when Alfred Sant was Prime Minister he did celebrate Indipendence day by putting flowers at the foot of the monument. If I remember correctly, some silly PN supporters tried to spoil this ceremony by shouting insults at the top of their voices.

As I said these were a handful of silly persns, I’m sure the PN administration were not behind it.

As for not allowing priests to celebrate mass, please don’t exagerate your lies because they’ll show you up for what you are. And people will not believe what you say even if it’s true. Remember the story of the boy who called wolf.

claire abela triganza thinks that Mintoff belongs to the past etc etc. Some time ago the WSC, as a sign of goodwill, decided to clean and repair Mintoff’s water cisterns or whatever they were, for free.

Minn fuq daharna, naturalment.

In the meantime 12 days have passed since I reported no less than 10 water leaks in Mosta and not one has been fixed. But who cares?

Mintoff belongs to the past of the Labour Party and he’s not in power any more. These visits should not be given any importance or publicity.

If Muscat wants to visit Mintoff then it is his private business and he shouldn’t publicise it. Propaganda minn fuq dahar il-perit!

‘In three years’ time, he will be prime minister and laying flowers at the foot of the Independence monument while the Nationalist Party leader stays home……..’

I really hope you are wrong on this one Daphne.

So would you believe that when the PL is in power they will be celebrating Independence Day? How wrong you are. You had already forgotten 1970-1987 and 1996-1998.

Do remember the days when they did not allow any priest to celebrate to celebrate Independence Day mass?

[Daphne – I may be in the minority here, but I think the sooner we all relax about Independence Day, Republic Day and Freedom Day, the better. It’s not like we won Independence or full statehood or ‘got rid of the British’ through some great bloody struggle involving major loss of life. They all came in the fullness of time, so to speak – the first because of the decolonisation process, the second because there was no point hanging on to us, and the third because the lease agreement was up. But of course, we had to whip ourselves up into a frenzy of hysteria. Remove the Labour/Nationalist bipolarity from these celebrations and you’ll see that nobody will celebrate them any more, which is exactly as it should be. It’s about time we grew up. Independence Day in the United States and Bastille Day in France are big deals because of the bloody struggles they recall.]

In reply to Grezz.

He is after the votes of the “Salvatur” followers – forget “Traditur”

He was at the prime minister’s reception at the Upper Barrakka too this evening, on his own two feet.

Sometimes Joseph literally puts his foot in it. How on earth is he going to explain the word “protocol” to his followers who think they are mittilklass but who Joseph will put on a living wage.
