Just get in the qeueu will you?

Acadenic brilliance? You joking? You too fell for that lie? What academic brilliance are you on about?

After Dom Mintoff obtained the Rhodes Scholarship because the colonial authorities were convinced no one like him would further the interests of the British empire better, he spent a couple of fiasco years at Oxford. His final grade was a third, which in academic language translates into “he failed, but he tried hard”.

This is all documented in the official history of the Rhodes Scholarship. But this failure has been consistently perverted, for home consumption, into “Mintoff’s academic brilliance”.

John the Baptist survived on locusts, so is it a wonder that the Saviour is surviving on vermin?

Good first question. Will he (or his estate) be liable for capital gains tax when the property is sold/inherited?

The second question may be further expanded to ask when the property was acquired by Mintoff and which Party was governing at the time.

A third question may be “Can it be confirmed that no government labour and materials were used in the construction of l-Gharix and its immediate access paths?”

Though I am TOTALLY against vandalism, art is a thing of beauty which ought to give pleasure and inspiration….hands up anyone who has been inspired (in the right way), or has admired the phallic symbol in Luqa!

Jigu quddiem ghajnejja t-toroq, bypasses u rekwizizzjonijiet ta’ artijiet kbar u raba kemm liberi u franki kif ukoll bil-qbiela. Rispett ta xejn lejn id-dritt fundamentali tal-propjeta privata.

Ghax hekk kien jghallem Karl Marx u Lenin u Stalin.

Taqbadni ghafsa ta’ qalb nghaddi minn postijiet li sas-snin tmenin kienet raba agrikola u li Mintoff hadielna lil familja tieghi biex harigha plots ghall-klassi tal-haddiema li tfisser ghas-socjalisti BISS. U lilna li konna s-sidien tal-artijiet ma taghna xejn … qas bicca plot imgiddem. Xejn! U llum is-sidien ta’ dawk id-djar qeghdin ibieghuhom mitejn elf 200,000 jew aktar …

Il-film halla wisq ingustizzji barra. Diga qaluha hafna din u ghalhekk m’hemmx fejn inzid.
