					<description><![CDATA[One must not forget his successor (KMB), still present and kicking, during whose time Malta witnesses the worst atrocities. I shall ever forgive these guys for the hurt they caused me and my wife to watch my daughter, then 10, cry her eyes out every morning because she cannot go to school. 

For, in their wisdom, the Mintoffjan regime, decided that private schools had to be &#039;jew b&#039;xejn jew xejn&#039;, and for more than two months my daughter had to follow classes in private homes, in secret, as if we were living in the Jewish getto of Prague during the Hitler days. 

This lady has the guts to publicly declare that there is only scorn to be heaped on such tyrants. Yes, let them rot.

And JM will be none the better than them, for he&#039;s being portrayed as the Mintoff successor by those around him.]]></description>

&quot;Mintoff was motivated by envy and class distinction&quot;. May I take this point a little further?

On this blog and elsewhere, Mintoffjani boast that the Labour Party created the &#039;middilkless&#039;, and you know, they are right?

Mintoff lowered the middle class to the level of a pauper class and having achieved that, called it the new, larger middle class. Anyone below that, was unemployed and secretly begging for alms, secretly because doing so in public became unlawful.  Hence the Mintoffjan myth that Mintoff had erased poverty.

Mintoff&#039;s plan was Gaddafi&#039;s plan, Mao&#039;s plan, Caucescu&#039;s plan. One class of &#039;call it what you like&#039; (so why not middle class?) and the elite class who plundered and stashed away their loot in foreign banks.

What if we were to ask how much income tax Mintoff paid while PM?  What about the settlement he received from the deprivation of enjoyment of the &#039;Gharix&#039;? I hope that the inheritance tax laws will not be changed downwards until the State claws back half of the million euro settlement he received. And since it is tax money he received, is the appraisal of the property public and available for scrutiny?

And what about the quater million euro he received from Gaddafi in recognition of defending human rights?

This Maltese dictator deserves nothing more than an unmarked grave when he passes on. Osama got the privilege, Gaddafi got the same, why not Mintoff?]]></description>

Pity is, not even someone who scored 100% in Religion in Form IIc would understand it.

After all, who suffered more than him?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Can someone please answer this question for me? 

So why, after experiencing all this, are there thousands more Laburisti/Mintoffiani than there are of us?

I think Mintoffian brainwashing is still powerful and will remain so, unfortunately.

Please let me have your answers.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Brilliant post, very similar to my experience growing up under Mintoff. 

I am constantly telling my son how lucky he is to have grown up under normal, free, western governments of the P.N. 

Mintoff was nothing but a dictator and I shudder to think Malta could soon be governed by Joseph Muscat, a self confessed Mintoffjan. 

I hope the young generation reads these blogs as it would be tragic if they fell for the P.L.&#039;s propoganda and found out too late how right we all are in not trusting Labour.]]></description>
