					<description><![CDATA[Remember Mintoff running up the Castille steps?

Good pair of legs methinks. No Sir - he was afraid of someone taking a shot at him.

Remember Mintoff taking a brown bag to work, or to Parliament and a thermos flask too?

A miser?  That too, but he would not even trust his own friends and was afraid someone would poison him.

Courage? Nah! Never mind.

Why wouldn&#039;t half the nation adore their former courageous leader?

Salvatur, my foot. More likely a tin-pot tyrant who talked big, threatened his own ministers, made deals which padded his bank accounts and left Malta in the dark and no water to drink.

And the pygmy-brained still adore the relic of Malta&#039;s most miserable past.

I actually pity the guy and do so only to piss him off.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[And I&#039;m ready to bet that 95% of those ready to condemn these blogs would have written (if they were capable) articles a hundred times worse in 1998.  But now it&#039;s different..now they have Joseph pseudoMintoff.
