An argument requires the use (not abuse) of language, including its idioms and what you call ‘stuff’. Anything less reduces it to incoherent utterings defeating the purpose.

When you declare yourself uncomfortable with good form and its possibilities, you show lack of faith in your own capabilities. Practice improves mastery, so don’t be shy.

Nor should you be afraid of revolting against Labour’s dictat, bound to semi-illiteracy.

Thank you Daphne for pointing this out. We come here to seek refuge from the semi-literate comments littering Maltese websites.

Will watch it. Thanks for the suggestion.

[Daphne – Yes. I learned something I hadn’t known from it: that Lady Boffa campaigned for Eddie Fenech Adami in 1981 and asked Boffa’s former supporters to vote for the Nationalist Party.]

Daphne, I never saw it as a heroic initiative. After the Labour party won the 1947 elections, I believe Mintoff was made deputy prime minister and minister of public works and reconstruction. Correct me if I am wrong, but I don’t think that he was invoicing the government for his works as a Perit whilst retaining the post of minister (and deputy prime minister).

I just want to point out the fact that his political career does not only cover the ‘Golden Years’ of the Labour Party.

[Daphne – I don’t want to drag third parties into it, but yes, Mintoff’s firm did much of the post-war reconstruction (he had a partner) and was paid for it. That’s where he made his first lot of money. This is something I have known all my life and taken for granted, and not something I discovered yesterday. As for his political career before the Golden Years, as you seem to be inadequately informed about a lot of thing, I suggest you obtain a copy of last night’s Biografiji, about Paul Boffa, and watch it. It skims over the surface, that’s true, but it gives you the bare facts. This country’s biggest tragedy after World War II was that Mintoff forced Boffa out.]

He borrowed Kurt’s stool.

BC, do you call that a “nice photo”?

Besides, that is a pic of Alfred Sant the Mexxej with Joseph Muscat.

What I asked for was a pic of Joseph Muscat with Alfred Sant and KMB. Back to your archives.

In the next election we will still vote for PN because it is the best option. I want to remind BC that during Alfred Sant’s time in government there were backbenchers disagreeing with him and even Lino Spiteri, George Abela, Joe Grima, AST, and more and his consultants.
