	Comments on: &#8220;What I would recommend to some of your super intelligent elitist contributors is to book more than one appointment with a reliable dental surgeon so they can fix their broken teeth and jaws  if Labour takes the helm.&#8221;	</title>

					<description><![CDATA[My God... they really are alive and kicking and crawling out from under the rocks. 

I kid you not, this read scared me. 

Kexkixni, bil-Malti. He&#039;s admitting, nay BOASTING, about the corruption, the hand-outs and the hdura that we went through. 

I have a few experiences of my own that perhaps I should share, including the time when two unfriendly men called at my parents home asking me about my father&#039;s work when I had applied for a job with Air Malta. 

I didn&#039;t get the job in spite of having passed the examinations and two interviews.

Daphne... this above piece is excellent material for your column, together with the story of the American teacher and The Economist, and all the other stories from the past, but peppered with the reactions of the present to show  that, no, Labour isn&#039;t new at all. 

It&#039;s not progressive and it&#039;s not moderate.]]></description>

&quot;haha Is it a virtue to lie for the glory of oneself?&quot;

We know that Joseph Muscat, Dom Mintoff, Anglu Farrugia, Toni Abela, and sundry Elves never read this blog so you&#039;re asking the question in the wrong place. Redirect it to the grotto and you might find what you&#039;re looking for.

Oh, and I know that Daphne is not paid for writing this blog. I control the cash flow of the world so I know what I am talking about.]]></description>

If Mintoffjani are given to violence (no surprises there) then it is they who are the problem. We are not talking here of wild animals (well, not officially) that we musn&#039;t provoke so as to protect ourselves.

There is no excuse for their lack of self control and certainly none on the grounds of their Mintoffjanizmu. They infuriate me, but you won&#039;t see me knocking out their teeth or breaking their jaws any time soon. And if I did, I&#039;d be prosecuted. Why should the rules be any different for them?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#039;&#039;my family is part of that 50% of the population that got everything for free&#039;&#039;

... while the other half of the Maltese population were literally robbed of their money, land, dignity, work opportunities, education and more importantly; their rights. And to top it all, they were psychologically tortured sometimes physically tortured just because they complained or protested. 

Jose, this is why many Maltese people hate Mintoff with all their hearts and raised their children, like myself, to hate him as well and be very suspicious of the MLP. 

You can never understand this because you never had to suffer the same injustices that the other half of the Maltese population had to suffer during the Mintoff years.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The scary thing is that these people are for real.  

The crude reference to the late Dr George Bonello du Puis was about the time the less honourable Lorry Sant punched him full-on in the face, knocking his teeth out.... IN PARLIAMENT!

Read here:

&quot;Bonello Dupuis, or ‘in-Nutar’ as many used to call him, was a “gentleman” in all respects: during his long political career he was direct, but never insulting or personal with his adversaries. In one unforgettable episode, in 1981 he was violently punched in the mouth by Labour minister Lorry Sant who crossed the floor and snatched his papers in a bid to shut him up. He never retaliated but kept the two teeth he lost as a “trophy”.  ( http://www.maltatoday.com.mt/2010/02/21/t4.html )]]></description>
