Hear hear. Sant’s legacy, opposition to the EU and Europe, is merely the logical continuation of Mintoff’s anti-Western creed.

Let us not be fooled. The “likes of Karmenu Vella” have always been there. Karmenu Vella was there in Mintoff’s time, in KMB’s time, in Sant’s time and now in Muscat’s time. ALWAYS.

Whoever believes the MLP ever changed and Joseph Muscat is changing it back again is wrong.

The MLP NEVER changed, not even under Sant. If it had, it wouldn’t be where it is today.

Could you email a copy to Daphne to maybe upload it?

Hard evidence hits hard.

Please scan it and put it up on the web for posterity’s sake – maybe even send it to Bencini formerly of MUT, now of FORUM, that way it might jolt his memory.

I was very much affected by the Labour government of the 1980s. For one thing, I never made it to university in spite of being quite a bright spark at school simply because of the entrance rules at the time and even though I got excellent grades at A-level.

I still remember the acute loneliness I felt when, one by one, my friends started leaving Malta to get their degree abroad. They were the lucky ones – but my family is large and my parents simply couldn’t afford to pay for both my brother and me to go away, and wouldn’t pay for one and not the other.

Thank God, we all managed to carve out a living in spite of Labour.

Whenever a supporter of the (M)LP retorts that this was a long time ago, I cringe. That’s my disrupted life they’re dismissing, and it wasn’t that long ago. I still feel the effect of those years.

Seeing the likes of Karmenu Vella, AST and Leo Brincat sends chills down my spine because to my mind, they are criminals – guilty of the theft of our youth.

Vote for Muscat’s party? No, thank you.
