Blimey. Yes, and I also forgot Evarist Bartolo. Then there&#039;s the celebrated Edward de Bono himself.

As for the mole, I don&#039;t have the name, or I would have written it. But he or she shouldn&#039;t be too difficult to trace in a small administrative organisation.]]></description>

I will never ever forget what Mintoff&#039;s reign did to my youth. But do understand that I cringe at the mere mention of him....every time I remember what Malta (or let&#039;s say half of Malta) had to live through back then, it&#039;s like an open wound that will never heal. Oh how lucky youth are today. 

So just keep quiet, Anna Mintoff McKenna - you have some nerve to  preach to us about downtrodden youths.]]></description>

Yes, you are right,  this week&#039;s regurgitation of Mintoff does have a silver lining. The more they remind us of him, the more rope to hang themselves. So yes, bring on the &#039;good old days&#039; and let Mintoff lead us to another PN victory. Thanks, Joseph.]]></description>

She was probably talking about the &quot;human recession&quot; - the one Joseph Muscat spoke about some time ago, copying the phrase from a US policymaker, pretending it was one of his original concepts, like the &quot;living wage.&quot;  

What&#039;s happened to those concepts?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;One of the main reasons proffered by Standard &#038; Poor’s is our lack of competitiveness. This can only mean that our prime resource – namely, our workforce – is seriously wanting.&quot;

Yes Anna, our workforce is seriously wanting. Why? Because a lot of the middle-aged workers are people your father raised up from the dirt. People without much competence who got to where they are not because they were hard working. And of course these people are having children and raising their spoilt  in the warped mentality of &quot;It&#039;s my right&quot;. 

&quot;And in essence, this in turn implies that our government has failed dismally to invest adequately in our young people.&quot;

I work in a school and the level of technology which schools are now being supplied with is wonderful. We have interactive whiteboards, we have projectors and well equipped media rooms. And most of the financing comes from Europe- yes that zone which shall not be named. Of course though, this is all painted in very negative light by labourite teachers who refuse to use the technology saying that it is a waste of time even though the positive of such equipment far outweigh the negative.

&quot;For decades our schools have been propped up by the black market system of private lessons.&quot;

Anna dear, your father is the reason that private lessons started when he closed down the church schools even though students were about to sit for their o-levels. What did you want them to do? As absurd as it may seem to you, there are people on this tiny rock who want to better themselves and do well in life soley depending on their own merits and talents. 

&quot;The performance of high quality teaching staff in schools is thereby undermined.&quot;

The only reason, Anna, that our quality teaching is undermined, is because of the damage done by your father and his government in encouraging violence, poor behaviour and bad attitude. When I was young, I would never dare answer back at teacher let alone tell her to &quot;go f*** herself&quot;. Well that&#039;s what we have now in government schools. And for the record, I used to teach at  one of the best government schools on the island before your father and his government destroyed the system.

Honestly, the nerve of some people.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Exacerbating this grim state of affairs is our university, where there is no shortfall of arrogant lecturers unrestrained due to the absence of any competing educational institution.&quot;

Is a Labourite / Mintoffian seriously arguing in favour of privatisation? And here I thought the private sector was the work of the devil in western pants.

Also, I&#039;m not sure why she&#039;s arguing about young people being unable to form cohesive arguments, when her paragraphs are nary more than a sentence.]]></description>

No Anna, trying to forget Mintoff is wrong. The evil this excuse of a man did for our country is immeasurable. Forgetting that he came within millimeters of turning us into a satellite of Gaddafi&#039;s tyranny, is something that should never be forgotten. 

The lands he gave away for pennies to his friends, ministers, while stealing private properties and turning them into Labour clubs, is legendary. The rape of two banks, the secret deals with Communist countries with AST&#039;s help are scandalous. The ridicule he brought even at the mere mention of Malta&#039;s name was embarrassing.

Even his own daughter seems ashamed of her maiden name and I suspect that she did not even write the garbage herself but lent her name sans the Mintoff label.

I cannot put the stinking fart out of my mind because the moment I do is when I turn senile like him. Forgetting Mintoff is actually endorsing the evil man&#039;s ill deeds. No, he deserves nothing less than uninterrupted scorn until his last breath.  

After that, his soul will be in God&#039;s just hands.

This is the man who tried to peddle Malta and turn us into a mere British borough and when that failed told the same Brits to &#039;go home&#039;! Yet the feeble minded still regard him as their idol.

Each November 11 we lay wreaths, most of which read &quot;Lest we forget&quot;  in reference to the horrors of wars and similarly we should not forget Mintoff lest we end up with another clone, and quite evidently there are quite a few like creeps in the making.]]></description>
