Viva Mintoff u Gaddafi
Kemm kien najs Gaddafi - ittrejnjalna l-bdoti tal-Air Malta b'xejn. Cutting from iT-Torca, June 1979
Now I know why Mintoffjani (as distinct from mere Laburisti) feel an affinity for Gaddafi – their shared tendency to interpret baseless opinion as fact. Take this remark in an article written by The New York Times journalists who were captured by Gaddafi’s men.
We were taken to a detention center that looked more like a double-wide trailer. On the shelves were a two-volume German-Arabic dictionary and five of Shakespeare’s plays. Colonel Qaddafi once famously quipped that Shakespeare, or Sheik Zubeir, was actually an Arab migrant.
At least they can use the excuse that they come from a completely different culture and Shakespeare means nothing to them. Not so this moron on timesofmalta.com, who I believe is one of the Wistin Abela recruits at Air Malta:

Jew b’xejn jew xejn. This Michael Scicluna must have lived under Mintoff’s regime. You would do well to check your spelling mistakes, Michael. I don’t want to sound rude but Mintoff did a great job indeed when he ruined our education.
Shakespeare an Arab immigrant? A preposterous travesty of history. Everybody knows Shakespeare was Italian:

Shakespeare an Arab migrant … and the Colas are African.

It seems that every country wants Shakespeare for itself. In Italy is being said that Shakespeare could have been an anonymous Italian writer from Verona. It seems very strange to them that he knows every detail of Verona when had never left England.
That would explain all those poncy latino haircuts, frilly shirts open to the navel, and the skin-tight leggings.
This claim is very similar to the claim made by Arafat that his people invented arithmetic.
I recently met three Mintoffjani, including one aged about 80, who were fuming about Air Malta. They obviously had made hay while Mintoff and KMB lasted and are now desperate about the ‘future’ and the ‘mess’ they are leaving to their kids.
Mhux bil-fors jarawh helu lil Gaddafi il-Laburisti.
He gave us 3 million dollars so that Mintoff could distribute them in children’s allowances. Plenty of families from the working class used that money to pay for private schools. As if we didn’t have free education in Malta. Imma l-aqwa li nkunu bhal gara that could bave been above the means of the working class.
Mintoff tridu tghejdu dejjem hadem ghal klassi tal-haddiem.U biss sahha tieghu it-tfal tal-haddiema dahlu Universita..
Mhux dak li kiteb hawn fuq, imma. Dak baqa l-art, miskin. Ghalhekk is-Sur Wistin (“Wistin! Wistin!”) kellu isiblu gopp mal-Air Malta.
I suspect that Michael Scicluna is mixing up Airmalta with MIA, whereas in actual fact, they are two distinct entities. There are many out there who think that the national airline also runs the airport.
I doubt Michael Scicluna knows much about Shakespeare actually. He sounds more like a teatrin type.
If Shakespeare is for Sheik Zubeir, then Scicluna is probably for Sheik Luna.
The moron may be half right – Shakespeare came from Arabic-Maltese-Italian lineage.
He was formerly named ‘Skossja (shake) – lanza (spear) or Mr. Skossjalanza.
Skossja may have some Arabic roots, lanza , Maltese for spear, since there is no direct translation, the closest is (lancia) – Italian origin.
Having migrated to England a suitable translation became Shakespeare and has been known by the English name ever since.
reply to cat …….
i just don’t agree with you, as i come from a working class – aLL six of us went to private school, and it was not a matter that my parents wanted to do like the neighbours – anzi in my village we were all the bullets because we used to go to a church school. Mind u today – because there is a donation and not a fee with donation everyone seems to incline their children to church schools.
