They’ve dragged out Mintoff’s daughter as a star turn
At the closing session of the Labour Party general conference this morning, they dragged out Yana Mintoff as a star turn and keynote speaker.
She told the 818 assembled delegati, Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando’s almost-second-wife and assorted hangers-on that her father is extremely distressed that the Maltese are now living in abject poverty.
Really, Yana? The last time I saw your father, he was senile and hardly in a position to make pertinent observations about the standard of living in Malta.
She banged on about the Delimara power station, for all the world as though her sodding father hasn’t collected a million euros in compensation and kept his house too, and she and her sister will inherit both the house and the money because the Scrooge who raised them doesn’t spend a cent and leaves his capital intact.
Let’s face it, his Scrooge-like tendencies appear to have been inherited by his daughters. When the man descended into incontinent senility, they dumped him on the taxpayer and a special room had to be cleared for him at state expense at St Vincent de Paule because they wouldn’t shell out for private care despite rolling in it.
What else did Yana say? Ah yes, that she has never seen so many poor people in Malta in her life. Well, that might be because when her father ran the show here, she used the British passport she got through her mother to bugger off to England, where she spent some of her time throwing sacks of horse-shit about in the House of Commons, getting herself arrested and making the headlines.
You know, a sort of Patty Hearst 1970s scenario, where the daughter of a rich and privileged bourgeois background, with an influential father, can afford to waste her time playing the red rebel, while less fortunate people have to earn their living and pay their rent.
Joseph Muscat’s love affair with Dom Mintoff gets less amusing by the day.

Joseph should declare the 6th august as the only national day.This great person should always be remembered .its not difficult to note that all Maltese would approve this date.mintoff is the father of all Maltese.
Whatever. It just hardens my resolve to urinate on the evil man’s grave, once God decides to stop faffing about and snuff his candle.
The Mintoff saga continues, with Joseph describing the “glorious days of Mintoff”, declaring his candidature on the 2nd district and now ushering Mintoff’s daughters into the fold as well.
Joseph Muscat is doing all he can to bring the lost Mintoffian sheep into the labour camp once more. Could all this jostling mean that he has not as yet managed to convince the Mintoffians of his leadership skills?
I grew up in Bormla in the Mintoff years. The more I hear Joseph talk of Mintoff the more I convince myself to vote PN.
Yama foget that her mother, God bless her soul, had to work as a tourist guide to earn the money to live on, because her husband was a miser and treated her abominably.
Pasolini was subjected to the most vicious slander, declared a traitor of the proletariat, as soon as he criticised these cashmere socialists’ violence.
He simply pointed out that the police at the receiving end of their sanpietrini and molotovs were the workers whose rights they were supposed to be defending.
This is a sign of desperation by the PL, clutching at any straw to stay afloat, but the wrong straws!
Retrograde amnesia until AD 1987 seems to be catching.
Otherwise she would have told her demented father that he is the only person in Malta in 2012 who lives in abject poverty.
She would have reassured him and told him that, since he was booted out of the political scene, the standard of living in Malta has steadily improved by leaps and bounds.
She should have told him that nowadays there is water in taps and that Maltese people actually wash.
She should have told him that state schools are littered with computers and that little children carry their mobile phones to school.
Yes, even to government schools.
Alternatively, if she did not want to be so honest, she she should have advised him to share his millions with his fellow Maltese who are living in abject poverty.
That will be the day.
Ja qammiel.
Yana Mintoff?

NORTHERN IRELAND: Ten Years Later: Coping and Hoping
Monday, July 17, 1978
…
Honorable members dived for cover under their antique, leather-padded benches last week as demonstrators protesting Britain’s military presence in Northern Ireland hurled something worse than slogans at the august mother of parliaments. Despite strict security, a man and a woman had managed to smuggle a truly noxious bundle of objections into the visitors’ gallery at Westminster: packages of horse manure. After bombarding the M.P.s with the missiles, the coprophilic dissidents—one of whom was Yana Mintoff, 26, daughter of the Prime…”

“From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yana Mintoff (aka Joan Mintoff Bland) is a political activist, economist[1] and educator.[2] Joan Mintoff was born on 21 August 1951, the daughter of the former Prime Minister of Malta, Dom Mintoff and Moyra De Vere Bentinck, by whom she is descended from both Dutch and British nobility.[3]
In 1968, at the age of 17, Yana Mintoff, travelled to Czechoslovakia on her own, outraged by the Soviet occupation of that country and its harsh repression. She worked at Olomouc as a youth volunteer and opposed the Soviet military presence.
In 1973 to 1974, while working as a teacher in Greece, she was swept up in the student protests against the oppressive military Junta that had taken power in a CIA-backed coup. She was amongst the students who were attacked by the army outside the Athens Polytechnic. Many students were killed and she was shot at three times before managing to escape.
In 1974 she contributed to the Granada television documentary series World in Action. The subject was a scandal involving British architect John Poulson and the building of a “white elephant” hospital on the Maltese Island of Gozo, opened by Queen Elizabeth II. Her research into the bribery and corruption of local officials led the trail to the British Home Secretary Reginald Maudling. He resigned after this documentary was broadcast.
As a teacher and an activist in Britain, she worked for workers’ rights, women’s rights, and was an activist for Irish and Palestinian causes.
On 6 July 1978 Yana Mintoff took part in a demonstration in the House of Commons in London.[4] To protest against Britain’s military presence in Northern Ireland,[5] three bags of horse manure were hurled from the public gallery during a debate on Scottish devolution. Yana Mintoff and a man were dragged off by police, arrested and later she was fined.”

Good of you also to speak of Ms. Mintoff’s mentioning Delimara. What utter cheek! They become millionaires just because they had a powerstation built in their backy
Sorry, hit “submit comment” with an errant thumb.
…. yards and now they have the gall to complain about it.
Anyway, what’s this about bringing Mintoff’s daughter back to address us, poor plebs? What’s next? Exhuming Lorry Sant and people of his same ilk to tell us what great fun it was to be Mintoff’s henchmen?
She also had the audacity to say that PN got us into NATO with PfP. Indeed, she has been taken out of Malta all right, but the crass ignorance which epitomises some eminent members of Maltese society certainly hasn’t been taken out of her.
As you said Daphne: heaven helps us because really nobody else will or will care.
The guy is brown-nosing for Mintoff’s votes. For that matter he has been brown-nosing many others for any potentially depressed votes which may come Labour’s way under the ‘moviment’ concept.
Some elVE has added a paragraph at the end of her Wikipedia entry, saying she spoke at the conference in the ‘wake of early elections’. Those muppets are so far removed from reality they can’t distinguish what’s happened from what they’ve been told is about to unfold.

It’s amazing how those in the progressive movement keep looking back to the years of oppression for their inspiration.
Partit maghqud, la Karmenu u l-anqas Sant ma kienu hemm.
Mela maghdux traditur issa?
Maybe Dr Bland will consider the following as her father’s epitaph:
“Io ho quel che ho donato” suitably translated into Maltese.
(Gabriele d’Annunzio’s motto)
A shit-thrower as guest speaker.
HOW APPROPRIATE.
Wouldn’t she have been arrested and deported for “indhil barrani” in Labour’s days?
labour are going in Power in 3 months time and Dr gonzi goes in the opposition for lying to the naction
And you should get back to your Class 1 school books.
What’s a naction? What’s “going in Power”?
So we were brought up hating Mintoff by the same party who gave him a million euro compensation out of taxpayer’s money.
Il-veru ma tafx x’ taqbad tghid.
[Daphne – Do you know much about the separation of powers? It wasn’t the Nationalist Party which gave Mintoff compensation. Nor was it the government. It was a court of law. And it wasn’t the Nationalist Party that ‘brought us up to hate Mintoff’. On the contrary, the Nationalist Party didn’t do anything in that regard, with the result that whole generations of people think he was fabulous, because they don’t know the facts. My view of Dom Mintoff is the result of personal observation.]
She is no longer a traitor’s daughter.
