“I have just been informed that Bocca aka IMBeck aka Andrew Borg Cardona – whose blogs I do not bother to waste time on- has taken a shot at me and what I wrote about the dictatorship currently being enjoyed by the people of this land. Miskin, he did not like it! He sounds like a hysterical woman whose washing has not yet dried and its starting to rain – absolutely hysterical ! Get the poor chap some smelling salts. This bright legal eagle, (sic!) is also asking whether I know the meaning of the word ‘ literally’ , when I used it to say that in Malta with the right patron ‘’ one can literally get away with murder’’ . Of course, since I am a lejburista and so by definition, arjuranta and knows not the inglixx very well, Dr Borg Cardona is critisising my use of English idioms, missing out a very important detail which I will slap back in his face. Dr Borg Cardona, what you should have corrected , and what I should have said is that ” in Malta with the right patron one can get away with ATTEMPTED murder”. Better? Makes more sense, no? Surely more comments are frivolous and vexatious ! Perhaps now you can get more hysterical , offensive and vulgar ,as is your style and call me that word which” starts with L and ends with R” . Stick to telling, whoever bothers to read you, where you are stuffing your face next and…calm down, dear!”

What savoir-faire, what je-ne-sais-quoi, what class. She is insufferable.

Exactly. What may have worked over 30 years ago (a woman with long dyed blonde hair acting the way she does) looks utterly ridiculous so many years down the line.

She could try running a “find on this page” search with the word “nitnejjek” here http://www.scribd.com/doc/94343123/How-Mintoff-Killed-the-NBM to get an idea.

@ Marlene Mizzi,

You must remember vividly that Malta has already experienced that “shame to democracy” when it was practiced with gusto – but not by the Nationalist Party.

It was done by Mintoff and his gang of MLP pseudo-democrats who, after raping the democratic principle of government by the majority, proceeded,for five solid years, to put into practice the tyranny of “to hell with democracy, to hell with what the majority wants….:we do what we like” (your words, not mine.)

There is no need to speculate idly on what the NP might possibly do following the example set and recorded in the MLP history.

Please do not put your words in the mouth of the PN.

Rather rich of her, having a go at the PN – which holds a majority of votes. Its a rather tired cliche – but people in glass houses should not be throwing any stones. In 1981, the Labour Party did not have the majority of votes and still it clung to power for five and a half years.

Marlene should tell us whether she thinks democracy was sacred then.

Joseph’s party is looking and sounding very much like the old Labour. This is so sad, disappointing and a great pity.

Given the significant progress that the PN has made to Malta since 1987, a change of government, although good for democratic credentials, would still in my view be total madness.

Not with that bunch offering themselves up as an alternative.

If Malta needs another five years of PN to ensure that Labour really clean up their act – not just a superficial wipe – than so be it.

Maybe in six years time they may be ready. Maybe.

I wonder then what her MLP was doing between 1981 and 1987.

I am in polite mode on Sunday mornings, therefore: “l-ispizjar milli jkollu jtik”.

We get to choose, Marlene, so just leave it to us, will you?
