On Syracuse quay there was a man who shouted VIVA MINTOFF (he was selling the items I was after froma van) – there was a queue – when my turn came I asked him why his praise for Mintoff. His simple answer was: “He made me a rich man”.

The only one to survive the 1996 ‘winning team’, and with his power base in Zejtun.

It is unkind to go into details of the pathology – however, senility is not a feature here.

”Mario Farrugia-Borg
Il-kampanja mahmuga u moqzieza li qed jaghmel il-Partit Nazzjonalista sabiex jirbah il-voti minn fuq dahar l-isfortuna li laqtet lill-Libja turi kemm il-PN jasal li jaghmel minn kollox sabiex jibqa’ granfat mal-poter. Il-poplu Libjan bhalissa hbieb veri ghandu bzonn, mhux minn daqqa jghajjru tal-habbaziz u mbaghad meta jkollu bzonnu isir “ihobbu” biex jinqeda bih! Minn qalbi nixtieq prosperita’ u sliem fil-Libja.”

Gaddafi is not to blame for starting anything.

He was only interested in suppressing his fellow Libyans (who started the revolt) so that he could continue squirrelling away billions for himself and his dynasty.

The status quo ante suited Gaddafi (and it seems also KMB) fine.

Was he already senile in the 1980s when he did and said all that?

He sounds exactly the same on Smash TV today as he did then.
