Any pride is in spite or, not because of, Mintoff, though I’ll allow for the fact that none are so blind as those who will not see.

Dear Godfrey
Were you born stupid, or did you have to work at it? If you had to work at it, may I suggest that you should apply for the Haddiem tas sena award as you are exceeding every expectation.
Mater Dei is ‘free’ (of the paid out of your taxes free variety.)

Maybe because of Dom we have civil marriage and the Catholic Church had some power in those times, but we would still have been in the Middle Ages with a telephone Strouger system, no power station in Dellimara, a heap of coal in Marsa, a dilapidated air terminal, no computers, no adequate supply of potable water and calling the opposition “enemies of the people”.

You can look at Dom from the other side: Dom Mintoff singlehandedly took on the might of Alfred Sant and his own party and he won.

If we have divorce it would not be because of the unelected Joseph because he chickened out of the divorce debate soon after he started it with his private member’s bill; Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando re-started the debate and prime minister Gonzi gave the public the last say on this issue which was not included in any electoral manifesto.

Now we have Evarist running the show instead of Joseph: he’s a founding member of the pro-divorce IVA group, he is running the show on the BWSC mud-slinging at the PAC and is in charge of the PL’s media machine.

taf x’missu kien iqassam b’xejn Mintoff u l-gvern li ghandha fil-prezent? Condoms u mezzi ohra ta kontracettivi. Forsi dawk li ma joffordjawx familja joqghodu lura milli jgibu t-tfal fid-dinja, mhux kulhadd jippretendi kollox minn ghand il-gvern.

Irridu l-school visits b’xejn, pitazzi, after all min qed jixtri l-pitazzi u jhallas il-bus ghall-hrug ta’ l-iskola uliedu qed igawdu, la l-prim ministru la l-ministri la t-teacher u hadd iktar.

Mhux l-anqas lesti naghmlu sagrifficcju ghall-uliedna ghax irridu li l-gvern jekk hu possibli irabbihomna.

One would say that that is a privilege reserved for our ex-prime ministers but that would be wrong. To my knowlege ex-prime ministers are given a special pension and that’s it.

If you cannot wait in the queue then pay for private care. I’m sure Mr Mintoff and his family can afford it.

Why is my money being spent on Mintoff? I must agree with the guy who said that this government is going crazy. Didn’t we pay enough over the years for the Perit’s great ideas…

Ghaliex din il-hdura kollha kontra bniedem li riesaq lejn l-ahhar jiem ta’ hajtu?

Please,please,please check on these persons(with all respect) to see if they have paid an EURO on being treated in Mater Dei hospital…:Eddie Fenech Adami, Mario Galea and so on…imbghad komplu itfghu l-hdura ta’ ‘Nsara l’ inthom.

Mintoff, more than any other, held Malta in the Middle Ages and would have held it there if he had had his own way.

His aim was to keep people ignorant and happy with a mediocre existence, while he and his accomplices got rich and powerful. He fought any opposition with violence and vengeance.

He made thousands of families miserable. He is single-handedly responsible for the rude manners and lack of education that characterise a sizeable part of the Maltese population.

And while we’re at it, he also did nothing to help promote the introduction of divorce.
