And the sorry state of affairs, that even his childern, in their early twenties believe his crap, and will neverm ever read or listen an opposing point of view.

The identities of these people depends on the notion that Mintoff was a saint, hearing anything different will be only treated with denial (and conspiracy theories).

Anzi, ma qalx li kien Serracino Inglott li ivvinta l-vjolenza biex jirbhu il-PN – ghax jien dik smajtha mill-istess halq!

I love your subtle sarcasm. Way to go DCG.

Of course the last commander of British forces in Malta would express his condolences.

He wasn’t “kicked out”, you see, just left when his lease expired.

On the other hand, if you were to ask the first commander of Dirghajn il-Maltin, or the last commander of the Malta Sea Cadet Corps before it was practically disbanded, or the last director of the British Council before it was kicked out of Malta, or the last deans of the faculties of science and arts before they were shut down, you’d probably get an earful.

“None of the parties involved actually believes in the sincerity of the gesture.”

Like you would know?

You weren’t able to find your own son in England, let alone getting inside information from the said parties.

You really are desperate.

[Daphne – ‘You weren’t able to find your own son in England’. I did. He was heavily disguised in a hat, wig and false moustache, but I cracked it, didn’t I, chaps. You know what it is with you rahli boys? Sometimes you sound just like your mothers. Stick some tinfoil on your head, shove you under a hairdryer at SplitEnz Salon and you couldn’t tell the difference.]

The British can say the nastiest things in the nicest words, they are extremely hypocritical, that is why they are the best diplomats in the world.

And yet you still lament protocol when Gonzi and Fenech Adami express their condolences, hollow as they might be.

[Daphne – Strange how you would assume that someone who talks like that is a man.]
