What will be the outcome by comparing these two funerals??? I must say that yes GBO was a gentleman, however it was Mintoff who promoted GBO to have a state funeral? Last but not least, do you consider Dr Gonzi a leader??? I have never heard of any leadership skills to be given orders by the subordinates. If you recall Gonzi a leader, I would say that I can do really well as a Prime Minister. DCG, RCC & AG are the drivers. Of course this is so called a perfect orgy within the Nationalist Party and Gonzi the Reporter.

Mintoff miet ta` 96 sena, hafna minn nies li mxew warajh illum huma mejta jew xjuh ghakka u ma setghux imorru ghal funeral, Borg Olivier (RIP) miet zghir jew ahjar inqatel bil-piena li ha meta shabu stess ikkomfoffaw min wara dahru.

Kieku Mintoff miet daqs GBO is-sena kienet tkun l-1985 u nahseb il-folol mhux daqs ta` GBO kienu jkunu! Minbarra li llum it-teknologija tnaqqas u kif mill-folol f’avvenimenti bhal dawn.

In reply to Anonymous. And Eileen Montesien is still on PBS after all the sh*t she put on TV in 1981. And now she is on NET as well. I cannot understand this.

Obviously there was no TV. This explains why a lot of people were at the funeral. In Mintoff’s case, people were comfortable at home, under the ac…..

In reply to Malcolm Seychell. Gonzi is not one of them? I disagree completely. Dr Gonzi is doing a great job in one of the worst recession ever. This alone already makes him one of the best, if not the best ever. Also, he is one great orator and surely has foresight.

My my Daphne some people do have problems with mathematics, especially those who cannot dissolve the bitter pill that Mintoff was HATED in Gozo. Further to this attestation one has to know that Mintoff and his puppet KMB did nothing for Gozo in 18 years.

All they say is housing estates – a damn lie – Borg Olivier had commissioned works on housing estates, which were built by a Nationalist government but….iz-zigarella fetaha l-MLP and the government property was given to Laburisti BISS.

That is the true vision of the Salvatur! Salvatur wiehed BISS hemm, int u niezel Marsalforn!

In reply to Jason Tanti. may I ask. do these values adjust to the times or are they just literal?? ask yourself this.. what can you buy with 100,000 dollars now, and what could you have bought with them in the 1970s. Thats the difference you see.. you could've bought a house for 4,000 liri at the day, while today the same house would cost you at least 100,000 liri. I am not economist, nor a historian, not even a labourite. but I think these things are down to common sense

The crowds that gathered at Raymond Caruana’s funeral speak volumes about respect and disdain.
