Surely you must mean “ I still regard Malta as my mother country“? Incredible that you`ve lived in Australia for half a century and yet come up with such a statement as “I still regard Malta as my mother.“ It sounds almost Mintoffian.

[Daphne – Lifelong, committed Nationalist? Shows how much you know, all the way there in Australia. Well, you are a bit cut off. And yes, support for the Labour Party is a fixation and has nothing to do with political thought or reason. In fact, it defies all logic and rationality – logic and rationality being the main reason people in my family started voting for the Great Political Enemy, the Nationalist Party, after three generations of support for the Strickland Party, rather than vote for Mintoff, Karmenu or….Joseph. Tista tghidli x’kien sabih u intelligenti u tajjeb ghal Malta fil-partit ta’ Karmenu, per ezempju? Or why it would have been such an amazingly good idea to stay out of the European Union? So that half the population would have to try emigrating to Melbourne, perhaps?] Il-vera tal-biki, intkom tal-Labour. At least your parents and grandparents could be excused for being illiterate without the benefit of any sort of education (I’m speaking Labour in general), but what’s your excuse?]

I hope Lolita Pusung was a woman, after all.

[Daphne – Kemm int miskin, jahasra. Australia was wasted on you. Kieku kelli mentalita iffossilizzata bhal tieghek, kieku lanqas biss nivvota ghax il-partit storiku tal-familja maghdux jezisti. Malta l-ewwel u qabel kollox, hej – u mbaghad toqghod Sydney, jew Melbourne. Ha niktiblek daqxejn strapline tal-babaw, halli tibaghta l-Klabb tal-Hodor Antiki f’Sunshine or wherever: Labour – it’s not politics. It’s a fixation.]

[Daphne – Oh hello, Frank. You’re an old man who left Malta for the other side of the world while still in your teens, and yet you know SO MUCH about what’s going on here. U ghadek Laburist ahdar. Congratulations. There are some things even half a century in Australia can’t cure.]

Anglu said that the Nationalist Party cannot be permitted to run the country anymore because of corruption. Did he forget the high level of corruption when his party was in government for 16 hellish years?

And when he was still in the police force and did nothing about it? Ghax kellu bzonn jiekol miskin.

You should tell us, Anglu, how people obtained jobs in the public sector at that time and how state flats and land requisitioned from Is-Sinjur were given to the red-eyed boys..

Your aim is only to be in office without a plan for our country’s future.

I suggest you should invite Dr. Austin Gatt for a debate on TV so that your political ignorance will be highlighted better.
