Le Daphne, ma tieghek kellu libel lil Saviour Balzan ukoll.

Maybe he’s just a pussy after all, seeing that it looks like he’s got nine lives.

That kind of hatred of those they perceive as “tal-pepe” is ingrained in them from a young age. The hatred only gets worse as they get older.

I’m sure that if Daphne sounded offhand, it wasn’t aimed at you…

What would be totally unacceptable? Compensation?

[Daphne – No, of course not. Not compensation. What is totally unacceptable and Mintoffian is for the government to order a company to pay money to somebody. It was the government that committed the crime, and so the government must pay, out of the state coffers. The involvement of Bank of Valletta can happen only if separate action is taken against the bank.]

I really feel for this family and what they were put through. These are the sort of things that happened in the glory days.

You agree at least that all PN governments since 1987 have taken advantage of the robbery. Justice has been delayed too long and the original shareholders have probably all died by now.

[Daphne – Yes, I do and yes, they have. One of my grandfather’s sisters is still alive, but she’s in her 90s. Certainly, all the directors of the time have died, except for one – but he wasn’t a shareholder anyway, because he was on the board thanks to his wife, who was. But they were estranged shortly afterwards.]

Since Vatican II and universal redemption management policy, they’ve had to accept all sorts of trash at Heaven Inc.. But they’ve drawn the line at Mintoff. Now the board of directors is considering a temporary alliance with Hell Corporation.

Mintoff’s version of a bonus share issue.
