Possibli Alex Saliba nesa li Lorry Sant ta’ mahmug li kien, kien tkecca mill-Partit Laburista stess tal-korruzzjoni li ghamel fi zmien Gvern Laburista ta’ Mintoff?

Nesa Saliba li Lorry Sant ipprova jisfida apertament lil Mintoff meta tajru minn Ministru tax-Xoghlijeit u floku lahhaq lil Karmenu Vella?

Nesa Saliba il-hmieg u l-korruzzjoni ta’ dawk kollha li kienu jhufu madwar Lorry Sant, kollha jwerzqu ghac-cejpelli?

Nesa l-inkljesta li Karmenu Vella ipprova jaghmwel fuq hafna min nies ta’ Lorry Sant ghal hmieg li wettqu fi zmien li Lorry kien Ministru tax-Xoghlijiet?

Nesa Saliba il-hruxijeit li wettqu n-nies ta’ Lorry Sant kontra l-partitarji ta’ Karmenu Vella talli ppruvaw jinvestigaw l-ghemil qarrieq taghhom?

Insew il-vendikazzjonijeit li wettqu kontra kull minn mess mal-Ministru Karmenu Vella? jekk ghandhu memorja qasira tajjeb li nfakkruh lil dal-kummidjant.

Who knows, may be Alex’s family was given property – possibly filched off some private landowner – when Sant was in power?

To praise someone like Lorry Sant, he must really owe him – or have been told that by his parents because he can’t possibly remember the man himself.

Lorry Sant actually thought he was the next prime minister when Mintoff said after the 1981 electoral fiasco that he was handing over the leadership to somebody else. He had thousands of T-shirts printed with the slogan “Lorry Sant il-futur prim ministru”. And then the premiership went to Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici instead.

In reply to silent observer. Then you must have very fond memories of Labour celebrating their electoral victories in 71 ,76 and 81 in Paola square.

In reply to Kenneth Cassar. At this point I suppose one should ask his widow what she inherited and then one could really speak about Lorry Sant.

“dakk kien labure taveru fiz zmien mintof u lory sant.”

I couldn’t agree more.

In reply to Dee.

I also remember a large graffiti on a wall on the St. Andrew’s main road that sums him up.

LORRY SANT
ISMEK TRAKK
KUNJOMOK QADDIS
IMMA INT L- – A

I put the dots for prudence. On the wall the whole word was written in big letters.

Probably he wanted to write:

‘…insejt kemm ta lil nies bla saqaf, fuq rashom?’

They are used to omitting words and punctuation.

“”By far the most chilling of Amin’s eccentricities, however, was his fondness for scolding his political rivals over dinner – after their decapitated heads had been brought to him on a platter from the fridge.”
