Mousa Kousa must be kicking himself for having fled to Britain instead of Malta. He could have stayed in a five-star hotel and been feted by his old buddies Sceberras Trigona and Karmenu Vella.

And of course, no one here would have dreamt of telling him that he has to answer for his past crimes.

This Libyan “visitor” said that NATO was not doing enough to hit Gaddafi – I think he is 100 per cent right.

In reply to Stefan Vella. To hell with that! Petty, parochial politics. There are more important things going on right under our nose at the moment.

My apologies for the off-topic comment:

Alcohol free beer festivals, festas, political mass meetings, Nadur Carnival? Why do I have the sneaking suspicion that the above events will obtain a special permit?

I wonder what criteria are used to decide where the ‘illegal immigrants’ escaping from death in Libya are accommodated. Could it be that they put Bin Shatwan at the Dragonara because the Hal Far hotel is now ‘full-up’ ?

[Daphne – They gave him and his family visas, so they are free to move around not just in Malta but anywhere in the Schengen area in the European Union.]

By the way, AST was on Smash TV yesterday explaining to us how Mintoff freed us of the British tyrants. Anyone see it? I only caught a few minutes of it as unfortunately I had to leave (or perhaps I should say fortunately).

The Golden Years indeed. One of my many siblings wrote to Ronald Reagan in 1986, congratulating him on his strike against terrorism. He received a reply from the American Embassy some weeks later and showed it to me, saying ‘When the Libyan invasion comes, I’m running to the American Embassy with this – at least it’ll give me a head start when I beg them to take me in’.

This is just to confirm how shit-scared we were that Mintoff and KMB, having already cheated the majority of Maltese out of the government they wanted, by gerrymandering, wouldn’t think twice about clinging to power as the stooges of a Libyan takeover.

Too many secrets, too many journalists in the pockets of political parties, too few independent minds with a knack for stirring the pot to see what comes up top. Keep stirring, girl. There is a historical mess that is bubbling up top just waiting to get out.
