Seems we were both wrong. According to Aquilina it’s “Beżqilhom mis-sunnara”.

@ Baxxter – it’a “beżqilhom”, actually – ommitting the Maltese diacritical marks is considered to be as error.

“Bezqilhom is-sunnara” nghidu, Martin, mhux fis-sunnara, jigifieri ma belghax is-sunnara.

Ghalija AST ikkonferma li l-mawra ta’ Joseph ghal-Libja kellha tkun mistura.

Min ghex fi zmien Mintoff, minghajr ma’ jrid jibda jiftakar f’hiex konna meta kellna lil nies bhal-AST , Karmenu Vella u Leo Brincat ma’ saqajna.

Jien nghid li AST ipprova jghatti x-xemx bl-gharbiel; xorta nafu x’marru jaghmlu, u l-element tas-sorpriza/hasda li jhobb Joseph intilef kollu.

Perhaps Martin would like to make some research into property ownership and the propitious deals made along Tower Road in the eighties.

Coincidentally Karmenu Vella was doing his fortune over there at the time as well.

Medieval aristocrat indeed.

In Maltese we say “bezqilhom.” But do carry on.

[Daphne – Imagine if Austin Gatt were to have done that to Super One, Martin. Two weights and two measures with you lot. And you don’t even seem to grasp something that is perfectly obvious to me: that AST is playing the medieval aristocrat here to the NET peasant. Very progressive.]

That journalist was damn lucky not only because he was not beaten by thugs. He was not bestowed with the title of “Hmieg,” either.

And no wonder Mintoff sent his own children to get a university education in the Ewropa ta’ Kajjin.

They are not really asking him to confirm anything. They just want to get a reaction to an embarrassing (for Labour) situation. Well, they did get a ‘useful’ reaction: Sceberras Trigona played into their hands.

At best, he is 25 years worse.
