Maybe the house in Tripoli was a gift? I think we should be told.

In the meantime he told the small shop-owners to close their business if they could not cope with the new tax regulations.

The last thing we need is another litany of barely contained humbug.

What a cynical little man. Only Vittorio Gasmann would have been able to fill such an odious role.

Perhaps The Times would like to follow up the interview with some investigative journalism to verify if and to what extent his business could have contributed to perpetuate the regime. The period following his appointment to the EU would be of particular interest.

Epic.. I hope KMB and Mintoff see this

This is a historic moment for Malta as well.

As I see Libyans enter Gaddafi’s compound and tear down the pictures and monuments of this tyrant, I cannot help remember how Gaddafi was etched into my childhood memories by Labour.

Libyans are our neighbours and should be close friends but not on the terms dictated by Mintoff and Gaddafi.

Do you remember how Mintoff donated half of Paola Hill and Ta’ Giorni to Gaddafi?

Do you remember how we were forced to learn Arabic and were given copybooks with the green Gaddafi flag printed on them, how the Green book was freely distributed in state schools, and how much we were told we should be grateful to Gaddafi for giving us the money for social services and to build Ta’ Qali stadium?

Mintoff, Labour and GADDAFI were bedfellows, buddies in sin and no statement of denial will make us forget this.
