Mario Pavia died by his own hand a day before he had to appear in court as witness against a police officer who is Josette Grech’s brother. Josette Grech is married to Norman Hamilton.

In reply to silvio farrugia. I suppose they are all eligible for the old-age-pension now.

In reply to TROY. The PL is a party of wash-outs - just see the line-up.

In reply to maryanne.

My children – although nowhere close to being teenagers, let alone adults – are already aware of Mintoff and the bad old Labour days. I think that it is necessary to keep the memory of such times very much alive, lest history repeats itself.

RenO Calleja is a fine one to talk about violence, when his beloved party and its supporters were the aristocracy of violence and mayhem.

Whenever I see a ‘torca’ I remember a friend who was shot, and had to live till the day he passed away in tragic circumstances with a bullet lodged next to his heart. The shot was fired by a SMU (Labour’s uniformed bullies for those with short memories) member at a mass meeting held in Rabat. The victim, a young lad, was not armed.

RIP Mario Pavia.

After noticing the Labour’s shadow cabinet and what future we will have if they are elected, I say now (after wavering) that I had better support the Nationalists with all their faults and arrogance.

How stupid ‘new”progressive Labour is. We are remembering their past with these people back in the limelight again!

In reply to Grezz. Dik il-bomba kienu se jaghmluha mad-dar ta' Bertu Mizzi li joqghod preciz hdejn il-klabb tal-PN ta' San Giljan. Imma meta raw il-pulizija, tefghuha fuq il-blat u splodiet, u minn kriminali saru eroj.

Maybe it’s time people started relating any atrocities they remember. Here’s one, for starters.

A bomb placed in the Nationalist Party club in St Julian’s, during a supper with some 70 or so MZPN members present. It was some time in the mid- to late 1980s, if I recall correctly. Maybe Dr. Peter Fenech would care to confirm the details, because – unless my memory fails me – he was present that day. Someone noticed the bomb and, I believe, threw it across the road just in time.

U min irid jitkellem! Dan Reno hu l-istess Reno Calleja li taht il-protezzjoni ta’ l-immunita parlamentari kien iheggeg lill-pulizija biex ma’ jaghtux kaz il-hasshazinijiet ta’ Pietru Pawl Busuttil u jkaxkruh quddiem l-imhallef “ghax dawn kollha kienu recti. Hu l-hati”.

Dak kien diskors inflammatorju minn bniedem irresponsabbli fi zmien jahraq nar li ma l-inqas xrara kienet issir spluzjoni. Din kitba fuq blogg fi zmien ta’ kalma.

BTW Kolonna bil K .

Nahseb li Reno kienet aktar toqghodlu ta’ ballavostra tal-partit.
