					<description><![CDATA[Too bad no one mentioned Agatha Barbara as Minister of Education addressing students at the Hamrun Lyceum and swearing at them when some cat-calls were aimed at her stalling speech! And, remember, Labour-leaning teachers were spread around purposely in order to prevent such incidents but, in defiance the students reacted to the incompetency of the &#039;minister&#039;.

THAT was really bad.

It seems that even then, the start of the &#039;golden years&#039;, the MLP had a paucity of suitable men and women able to head a ministry. Let&#039;s face it, Lorry Sant was not an academic, either.

The only person they regarded as an icon was il-Perit and often referred to him as the brilliant Rhodes scholar who went to great pains in ensuring his degrees and diplomas were printed after his name.

Too bad years later he disappointed many followers by declaring that &#039;degrees and diplomas were mere pieces of paper one would wrap anchovies in&#039;.  I hate to say it, but his works attest to his statement.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Chris,

Lorry Sant had his canvassers distribute blank exercise books with the covers serving as his personal propaganda leaflets in state schools.

My father refused to distribute these in his school and was promptly transferred.

Civil servants were made to gather outside their offices in Beltissebh and instructed to cheer with little red and white paper flags whenever Lorry Sant decided to hold an impromptu meeting.

That bad.]]></description>
