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.

If Shakespeare is for Sheik Zubeir, then Scicluna is probably for Sheik Luna.

That would explain all those poncy latino haircuts, frilly shirts open to the navel, and the skin-tight leggings.

Mhux dak li kiteb hawn fuq, imma. Dak baqa l-art, miskin. Ghalhekk is-Sur Wistin (“Wistin! Wistin!”) kellu isiblu gopp mal-Air Malta.

Mintoff tridu tghejdu dejjem hadem ghal klassi tal-haddiem.U biss sahha tieghu it-tfal tal-haddiema dahlu Universita..

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.

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.

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.
