Are you sure God is a ‘he’?!

I thought Mons Mikiel’s surname was Azzoppardi not ‘Montoff’.

He wasn’t even in Malta during the war, and no one knows what he was doing in England.

While his entourage were imprisoned (Agatha Barbara and Joe Micallef Stafrace immediately come to mind) in the 1956 riots, he was not convicted of any crime.

He’s the prime minister who kept John Gaul living as a free man in Malta on the ‘Lotus Eater’, when Scotland Yard wanted his extradition because he was the prime suspect for the murder of his wife.

[Daphne – And he gave him Comino.]

He was prime minister when Phoenix Textiles, Shirasuna, Toko, GE, Plessey and many other international companies had to leave Malta.

Thanks to him we were the last country to adopt the Strauger telephone exchange system, to introduce colour TVs, to introduce some computers, and we re-used post-war technology for our power station and ran it on coal to the detriment of the poor people of the inner harbour area.

Under his regime we started to install water tanks on our roofs because the water supply was intermittent, because he refused to invest in reverse osmosis plants. And do you remember those damned voltage stabilisers?

I’m not in any hurry to see Mintoff go, actually. The longer he lives the more of an embarrassment to Labour he becomes.

Aw, Kurt, hi – mela m’ghadx ghandu medical condition il-boss tieghek? Jaqaw mort titlob ghalih Borg in-Nadur ma’ dak Charlon Gouder (forsi jirnexxielu jghabbi b’xejn minflok ihallas)?

Anyone who’s been near Mintoff in the last few years has had to fall out of the room gagging for air.

I hope to be away for the Gagfest that’s bound to be his funeral, over which his ghost will hang yelling ‘Xiz-z*pp hu dan il-hafna n*jk haqq gh*** il-Madonna!’

Those who worked with him in his heyday will be familiar with the sound.

What are the odds that even the Nationalist media and the newspaper he tried to have burnt down will depict him as a heroic figure in Maltese history instead of the major c**t (I use that word in the British sense) that he really was?

Oh the bliss of speaking about Mintoff in the past tense. Another Labour Party statement saying that his condition is stable will ruin my morning.

Dioes there have to be one? They obviously want us to talk about it, otherwise they would have kept it private – like their cruise.

Nice, interesting … and the point you want to make, is?

It’s the medical team at Mater Dei who are monitoring Mintoff closely, you ridiculous tweprs, and not the jerks and politicians and Marisa Micallef and Kurt Farrugia over at LabourHQ.

What situation are THEY mointoring – tossing coins to see whether Joseph Muscat is going to have a medical condition or not should the horrible old man snuff it?
