Neighbouring property was extensively damaged with the people inside having to evacuate their terrified children via rooftops.

The hail of stones and glass bottles made it impossible to exit through the front door.

They were in a frenzy, and Karmenu was, is, why they did it.

It didn’t happen by itself, his dissociation alone gives them a legitimate motive to repeat what they did, should politics become excessive. It’s their burden.

Let him not take it from me. I dare Karmenu Vella to look, not at newspapers, which could very well be biased, but from the court records of all the human rights cases which had been instituted at the time and after 1987 due to blatant human rights violations. Those are unbiased and objective and I can assure this erstwhile gentleman that the people who were beaten, who lost their jobs, who were killed and abused in God knows how many ways, can very well confirm that these “things” took place.

Come on Karmenu, a man of your experience of life should know better than try to hide the bloody well obvious.

Imagine him as a Labour Minister, conveniently ‘forgetting’ to land his boat in the right port – again.

Add one more to the list of ‘hindsight’ or ‘oversight’ experts within the Labour Party.
