dear daphne,you are worse than him,at least Norman`s hate is against foreigners (I personally condemn racism|), your hate is against fellow Maltese LABOUR PARTY SUPPORTERS

Speaking about politicians picked up from history’s trash-can, what about that other pillar of the old MLP – Lorry Sant? Some say he was actually worse than Mintoff and that KMB was placed as prime puppet to keep Sant from taking over. Luckily, I was born too late to have any meaningful recollection of these events. Any comments would help.

He wouldn’t have received any comments because his audience can’t write.

That’s why his show was on radio, so they could phone their comments in – and then we discovered that they can’t speak either.

1977 – My then girlfriend’s father, a noted physician, is locked out of St Luke’s Hospital. Eventually, the family are forced to emigrate.

1977 – My father, a former Cable & Wireless employee on a salary, with six children still at school, is suspended from work without pay for seven months, for obeying a union directive which did not even involve industrial action.

1978 – The Polytechnic Junior School teachers’ course, which I had wanted to take and for which I had obtained the entry requirements, is scrapped as part of the university “reform” programme.

1979 – I am in Valletta on October 15th for an A-level class. The air is black with smoke from The Times’ office building which is being burned down by a mob of Dom Mintoff’s supporters. Mintoff comes out onto the palace balcony and waves to the crowd. His finest hour? Possibly, but I am sure many of you have their own experiences of this low-life thug.

This is just a sample of what happened in the so-called “golden years” of Labour.

Trust me, Yakov and co., the Nationalist Party’s worst is still light years better than Labour’s best.

Why don’t you publish your name and address instead. You are publishing this guy’s address whilst hiding behind a nome de plume. How low can you get.

[Daphne – His address is available on line. He put it there.]

Is it the same Ray Azzopardi who used to appear on that ghastly ‘Sibtijiet Fliemkien’?

Was he a radiographer?

[Daphne – Yes and yes.]

If I am not mistaken, tt was Lord Carrington with whom Mintoff was dealing about the lease.

Is Yana the one who threw horse shit in the Commons?

Pity Manwel Cuschieri didn’t have a blog in his heyday. It would have been interesting to see the comments he’d have received. Just a thought …
