On the one hand they try to glorify the past by saying that these were the Golden Years (because they need to rekindle the fire in the hearts of the old guard) but at the same time they try to distance themselves from certain persons who are known to have been basically criminals.

The Labour youth are told about the glorious past of the Labour governments and how they brought about free schooling and social services and they all go ‘wow’. But they are not told about the atrocities, the blatant human rights violations, the fact that if you were not Labour you were disadvantaged, the disaster in the economy and in the bad reputation we had with most countries, the befriending of communist dictators as a provocation to the West, the nationalisation of legitimate private businesses and the list goes on.

So it is no surprise that the Labour youth (although a bit of reading would help them open their eyes) idolise Lorry Sant and Agatha Barbara, Mintoff and the rest.

To add insult to injury, they are PROUD of that filthy past.

Or was Joseph averse to exposure on film in this case?

What do Toni Abela, Wenzu Mintoff have to say about this?

What influence does Ronnie Pellegrini have at Mile End?

Or is the term a new beginning just that, starting anew what was previously intended? This time manipulating a suggestible only child?

I think we deserve some answers.

In everything, it’s the past that makes something great or shameful.

Even in football, Real Madrid haven’t won much recently, but their past makes them a glorious team.

Same goes here, whatever they do, they continued building on the past. If they wanted to really change, there wouldn’t be people like Sceberras Trigona still occupying senior positions in the party.

Sorry, but they only changed their emblem, name and leader – the core of the PL is still driven by its past.

Antoine, they practise ‘Double-Speak’ to cover the reality that they believe in nothing beyond power.

They are desperate for people to stop attacking their past but then continue to bring it up themselves.

Joseph Muscat ma jhobbx banquets u ikliet ufficjali. Joseph Muscat liberali. ‘Daqxejn drinks u finger-food’ ihobb, mal-fans ta’ Lorry Sant.

Makes a change from Macdonald’s burgers.
