“Huma t-tip ta’ mexxejja ‘skurdati’ u bla sabar li ma ppermettewx li jiġu bullied minn min hu ikbar minnhom. ”
To the detriment of their countries’ citizens. Yes, very easy to be stoic when others are suffering for it.

“Għalkemm f’kuntest kemmxejn differenti, il-Perit Mintoff fid-DNA politiku tiegħu kellu ħafna ġeni komuni ma’ din ir-razza ta’ mexxejja li ffurmaw ruħhom fl-era kolonjali li mhux lakemm imbagħad għarfu jaddattaw irwieħhom ġaladarba qatgħu l-kurdun umbelikali minn mas-sistema imperjali li kienet taħkem fuq arthom”.

Your translation of Wenzu Mintoff’s concluding paragraph is incorrect. In English it should read something like this:

The context is different, but Dom Mintoff had in his political DNA much in common with this genus of leaders who emerged in the colonial era. Once they cut the umbilical cord of imperial rule that dominated their homeland, they struggled to adapt.

Wenzu Mintoff, his bosom buddy Toni Abela, and his what-exactly-is-he? Manwel Cuschieri are chummy with Saviour Alfred-Hitchcock’s-Psycho Balzan.

The AD stink can be smelt from miles away.

Why doesn’t Austin Harry-Callahan Gatt just invite ’em all to make his day?

The thugs who spent years systematically ransacking PN clubs and beating up people also used to be described as “imqarbin” by MLP politicians and supporters.

Of course, Dom Mintoff wasn’t bullied by Gaddafi.

He delegated that to us.

He uses the adjective imqarbin for people who, amongst others, were responsible for introducing ‘ to disappear ‘ as a transitive verb in the English language.

A more suitable adjective would have been monstrous.

I am not surprised he admires them.

It is a family trait.

Funny how he doesn’t include Hitler in that list. Maybe that’s a step too far? I guess it’s OK to kill a few hundred thousands but if you kill millions then, well, that’s crossing a line.
