Now that you mention good old Karmenu … you have to hand it to him: consistently and resolutely on the wrong side of history.

In reply to A.Attard.

I beg to differ. I believe that he was deputy prime minister – if not prime minister – at the time of the ransacking of the Curia and the law courts. And I believe that it was 22nd September 1984.

In reply to Vaux. No, he was minister of education, Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici was sworn in as Prime Minister on 22nd December 1984, the ransacking of the curia took place on 28th September 1984.

Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici rode on a truck with Drydocks workers during a violent demonstration and show of power, when they broke into the Curia building and vandalised it, and damaged so many shops in Valletta.

He thought that was fine. And he was the prime minister at the time.

So expect nothing better now.

When I read George Vella on the subject of democracy, freedom, rule of law and will of the majority, I am overcome with irritation.

I hate their doublespeak.

According to the Labour Party Gaddafi was a ‘kawza li huma jemmnu fiha’.

It shows how much they’re aware of their standing with the Maltese electorate when it comes to democratic credentials.

And what’s the crap about disassociating themselves from KMB? He just put their wishful thinking into words.

Labour are now irredeemably isolated.

From George Vella’s declaration it appears that, for the PL, there is no difference between the Libyans who fought to remove Gaddafi and gain freedom and those who fought to repress freedom and keep the tyrant.

Perhaps they are pretending to be neutral but, reading between the lines, I sense that PL’s congratulations to the Transitional Council are given grudgingly. It’s no secret, after all, that Labour were rooting for Gaddafi.
