What should have happened after 1987, short of putting these people in prison, was for them to be shunned socially.

Instead, with our usual Maltese short memory and hbieb ma’ kullhadd creed, we’ve re-admitted these monsters into normal society.

It’s all very well to write articles reminding everyone of the horrors they perpetrated, but what use are they if we then shake hands and clink glasses with AST “out of politeness” at the next embassy reception?

U ma tarax, li mhux se jaqra xi haga bhal din? Mhux wara dak kollu li sofra taht il-‘klikka’ ta Gonzi w l-Partit Nazzjonalista. Miskin.
Trid tghid li FD ghandu gildu ehxen minn ta kukkudrill.

I remember my father taking us, after mass on a Saturday evening, next to Cafe Cordina where one could read the messages scrolling across the ticker.

There would be someone checking the corner with St. George’s square, asking people, very politely, not to stand together forming an ‘illegal gathering’ which would give the police grounds to arrest us.

They’ll never get it.

Their disdain for individual dignity brought out the best in those whose resolve, albeit seemingly irrelevant, pushed them to do something.

It was easy back then, everything seemed illegal.

A certain young MP shows the same allergy towards anything outside ‘the natural home of democracy, parliament’

Need we ask why Labour has taken to all his rantings and his calls for ‘adequate libel laws’?

We are brazenly being forewarned about a return to the same mise-en-scene.

It is scandalous that Joseph Muscat has the brazen cheek to solemnly plagiarize the prayer “O Lord make me an instrument of Thy peace” when he is flanked by potential Labour Ministers who scream, gesticulate and threaten all those who do not lick their boots with: “They do not know what is going to hit them” or that they are congenitally subnormal with defective DNA.

Let inexperienced new voters and other titubating voters beware. We have been forewarned what the LP has in store for the nation.

Actually it was the Valletta PN Club. I remember how elated I felt when I saw how Dr. M. L. Galea had managed to thwart the MLP, but it only lasted a couple of hours.
