And then the poor workers were left to clean up Yana’s dung
Left click on this report from The Observer, July 1978
Typically of self-involved left-wing extremists from privileged backgrounds, who were raised disconnected from the harsh realities of life and sheltered from direct experience of it, and who think of ‘the workers’ as some kind of abstract entity (those other people…), when Yana Mintoff threw her dung in the House of Commons she failed to consider that real workers would have to clean it up.
And so they did. After Yana and her friend threw their dung and were ‘dragged out still screaming slogans’, real working-class people were called in on their time off to clean it up.
That’s right, Yana – members of the working-class you claim to champion had to get down on their hands and knees and use brushes and pans to clean up your dung.
Did you imagine Dennis Skinner was going to do it? Dennis Skinner. How ironic. The one MP who this silly bitch – I hate that expression and never use it, but in this case it really fits – actually did hit with her dung was Red Dennis, a man more socialist than her father, a key member of the Labour Party as it was in its redder incarnation, a former miner and one of nine children of a miner.
What a twit. Honestly. And incidentally, it just so happens that she’s yet another one in our own Labour Party who calls herself an economist because she’s got a bachelor’s degree in the subject. She’s never even worked as one – that’s what her sister Anne does – because she’s been a school-teacher and school administrator all her working life. She was a school-teacher in London when she threw that dung.
But ‘I’m a retired teacher’ doesn’t have quite the same ring to it as ‘I’m an economist’, does it?
Liars and exaggerators, the lot of them.
Hi, everyone. From now on, please know me as an archaeologist on the basis of my bachelor’s degree, even though I have never worked as one and have worked in the media since I was 20.

As an archaeologist, could you give us an expert opinion on those rock-cut (surely ‘uncut’? Ed.) tunnels which run all the way from Atlantis to Mile End?
Could you fit a coconut in there?
Where they used to transport truckloads of Atlantean horse dung? Gunpowder? Porvli tan-nar? In wooden crates carried by my father? Is my LSD taking effect?
How interesting that the Troops Out Movement was formed in 1973, where it ‘expanded rapidly with branches being formed, first in other areas of London and then throughout England, Scotland and Wales’

I wonder what “Beowulf” has to say about this subject.
I have to say I’m mystified by the PN’s silence regarding the rise of Neo-Mintoffianism.
Everyone can see that within the PL there is a worrying resurgence of Mintoffian ideals, albeit as an updated package, and Yana Mintoff is the most obvious symbol of this revival.
PN knows it will lose the election. So they’re saving their breath to announce desperate new handouts to social leeches who will vote Labour anyway. Like I said, every soldier, athlete and politician knows that in a stress situation, you don’t rise to the occasion; you sink to the level of your training. Gonzi’s training is in social policy. QED
Dear Baxter,you don’t have to even consider changing your supplier of LSD. I think they are working perfectly.
I consider what you have just written as something that truly reflects your state of mind. Keep on taking your pills; someday you might start making sense.
Even though I can see no connection with coconuts, you might be very close to bananas.

Baxxter,
do you plan to lay down, your weapon, to the hordes of Nuxxelinae?

Kieku kelli hordes bhal dawk, x’ikolli bzonn ninsa? The clue, my dear Theophilus, is in the alchemy.
Shovelling dung is a respectable position, Ms. Caruana Galizia.
I wonder how Ms Yana Mintoff managed to take the dung into the House of Commons. Did she hide the dung under her skirt?
