Int qatt harist lejn ghoxxok? Dak zgur mahmug u mqammel ghax mimli berawt!

[Daphne – I wouldn’t normally published anything quite as vulgar, but sometimes I find it necessary to show my readers the sort of intelligent and/or witty arguments I receive from Laburisti.]

U hallina, Manuel.

Mintoff didn’t have enough to eat for himself. He got on the nerves of whoever tried to take care of him (on a voluntary basis). And even if he did managed to give Manuel some food which may have passed for lunch, he must have a very good stomach – bil-hmieg li kien jghix fih, Mintoff.
