Even before Mintoff went to Gaddafi, cap in hand, the jubilant Libyans came over in force into our Grand Harbour to oversee the departure of the last British warship from Malta. That is our “Freedom Day” that was.

It was the “aristocracy of the workers” who did that as well as beat up innocent people including women and old men at Tal Barrani.

The “democracy of the workers” were those who burnt down the Times and ransacked Eddie Fenech Adamí’s house and beat the shit out of the doctors at St. Lukes Hospital who were following their union’s legitimate directives.

They are to be distinguished from the “soldiers of steel” who bankrupted the country on the eve of the 1971 elections, by going on an all out strike at the dockyard ordered by the MLP’s common-law wife, the GWU.

[Daphne – No, 31 March. You leave the day your lease is up, and not the following day. Freedom Day, if we really must call it that, is actually 1 April, because the British were still here on 31 March. But poor old Mintoff couldn’t well make April Fool’s Day his big public celebration, could he.]

And how old was he when KMB took the Dockyard “democracy of the workers” to smash up the Curia in front of the Police HQ?

[Daphne – He was 20.]
