For God’s sake! I had to use an exclamation mark there.
When I watch this sort of thing, I realise that it’s not just me being prejudiced, but you really do have to be sozzled, half-witted or brainwashed from birth in a pro-Labour family to vote for this detritus.
Is this an intelligent appeal to reason? No, it is not. It is offensive, foolish, and deeply Stalinist.
Perhaps they should have interviewed Louis Grech (now a Labour MEP), who was Air Malta’s CEO under a Nationalist government, Marlene Mizzi (now a Labour candidate and chairman of Labour’s business forum), who was Sea Malta’s chairman under a Nationalist government, and Wenzu Mintoff, who is still a hot honcho at Malta Enterprise even while editing the Labour Party hdura newspaper KullHadd. And those are just three I can think of in three seconds after an exhausting day.
I can understand why the categories mentioned above vote Labour. But I will never understand what makes somebody of reasonable intelligence, who comes from a non-Labour background, consider it.
I would rather be pegged out and eaten by driver ants (incidentally, that sounds like Labour MP Anthony Zammit’s ultimate fantasy, as long as the driver ants are male and wear size 38 shoes) than admit to such crass idiocy.
I suppose the key word here is ‘admit’. I’ve noticed a change already in that people who were saying out loud that they planned to vote Labour or were considering it are now, after all these scenes and stupidities, embarrassed to repeat it. The crux of the matter is whether they’ve changed their minds or whether they’re just too ashamed to admit to their stupid plans.
I’m better on the latter because the foibles of human nature no longer astound me.

INKONTRI – Programm ta’tghawwig tal-fatti.
Kif tista’ ma tibkix? But unfortunately, democracy is what it is, the Maltese are what we are, and the chances of Joseph becoming PM are reasonably high.
I guess we have to go again through the eye of the needle because at times one has to feel the pinch to come quickly back to reality.
Much as what happened in 1996, only this time it will not be as easy.
Made it to the first ‘slowgun’ at 0:22, muted it and revelled in the awesomeness of the ensuing footage.
They follow the Goebbels creed so, if they’re going to say, they’ll say a really big one.
Sorry, I meant if they’re going to say a lie they’ll say a really big one.
My heart bleeds for them! Poor sods.
What about the transfer of the teachers who dared to strike in 1984? Where is Bencini (of the once respected MUT) or is the GWU keeping him on a short leash?
In Maltese we say “wicchom u s—hom l-istess” – the shallowness is just unbeleivable!
Where is the PN media and communications machine? Somebody pass the salt please.
I swear that I could not believe my ears. This inkontri is Joe Grima’s programme, the person who was given a discussion programme on Net TV for years and now coming out with these incredible facts. Il qahba milli ikollha ittik.
Vera ma ghandhomx zejt f’wicchom dawn.
Fuq kollox nesa is-Sur Grima x’ghadda minnu u kemm il-darba harqulu l-istazzjon tieghu, u kellu jkun il-PN li tah programm fuq in-NET TV.
Issa jridu jdawwru l-istorja.
Is the fact that the police chief ended up being ‘moved’ from Floriana HQ to the Paola Prisons considered as a ‘transfer vendikattiv’?
There is really one thing that stands out to me about the post 1987 period.
Having become accustomed to the “fact” that when Labour was in government it truly was a “Gvern ghal-Laburisti BISS” and assuming that inevitably with the PN in government it would just be a case of the tables being turned, however abhorrently but understandably, I recall being almost shocked at the way Fenech Adami governed with a view to equal treatment and upholding liberties and freedom of expression.
Truly I considered Fenech Adami’s government to be suicidal, and no, I am not the retributive type, at all.
So the video embedded is nothing but a big joke.
Not that, of course, one will negate that at the lower echelons of power there did not exist those individuals who did abuse, but certainly they were not reflecting the PN’s line, and those immediate post-Labour years were never going to be plain sailing after all that we had lived through. Those who did abuse may also have had far too much forgiving to cope with.
The big surprise was that those years were a hundred times more peaceful and harmonious than expected.
Ara Joe Grima veru bniedem ma jisthiex, wiccu u sormu l-istess wara li tal-PN gabruh u tawh spazzju fuq in-Net.
Where to start?
1) In Labour’s heyday, a newscrew belonging to a rival political party filming in front of the Macina would have had extremly short shrift. Come to think of it, it was impossible for opposing parties to have access to media. When the Nationalist Party rented out TV station Studiorama from Sicily to transmit footage of the Party’s Mass Meetings, and to try, albeit in a small manner, to counter Labour’s propoganda machine, not only was Studiorama blocked, but the person running it (Richard Muscat) was virtually exiled.
2) I would like to see some slapper calling Wistin Abela, or Lorry Sant a wanker. Hang on, in Labour’s days, uni was a waste of time, so she wouldn’t have been there in the first place.
3) According to the film, if anybody reveals Labour sympathies, they will be discriminated. Well, at least you didn’t get beaten up by Labour thugs for being seen with the Nazzjon newspaper, as used to happen when Labour was in goverment. Ooops, I forgot, under Labour it was illegal to write the word ‘Nazzjon’.
4) It is really amusing seeing Labour complaining about bloggers (how dare you Daphne?), when the worst Blog is Tasteyourmedicine, a platform for evil and twisted Labour dwarfs to spew anonymous slander. Ah well in the good old times, not only were computers considered a waste of time, but dangerous things by that geriatric old miser Duminku, may he rot in the darkest recesses of hell with his cronies, Fusellu and Lorry Sant.
Many of the consultants at Mater Dei are Labour supporters, and some of them enjoy flaunting their political creed.
They all got their consultancy promotions under the Nationalist governments.
If Labour is in government, will non-Laburisti have the same opportunities? I don’t believe that for a minute.
Dawn bis-serjeta?
Adolf Hitler’s propaganda minister Josef Goebells would have applauded this application of his “big lie” propaganda technique. The MLP put it into practice in the Mintoff-KMB era of a state monopoly of the broadcast media It is still being attempted now from the oppositioin benches. I quote Goebells himself: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it “
When Joe Grima couldn’t work with Alfred Sant he used to call the MLP HQ the house of fables. Now that he went back he is excelling in fabricating fables himself.
What a breath of fresh air. There is still light at the end of the tunnel. It is quite obvious that this trash wasn’t sanctioned by the turncoats. They know too well what rubs us the wrong way.
The more ,I, read about Labour,The more I, become sick to my stomach….. The .Super one ! Pack of lies Show.
Thank you Daphne !
Hogwash for idiots.
Simply unbelievable. The socialists excel in distorting facts. And this when still on the opposition benches. Let this be an eye-opener to those nationalists or floating voters who, because of some pot hole in front of their home, decide not to vote or to vote for the socialist party.
