One of these days on the TVM news bullettin one of the reporters said that “Mintoff se jkun espost ghall-qima tal-pubbliku”. San Mintoff.

I never knew that it was in the bible. Joey must be really proud that they quoted his famous words on Dom’s Santa.

Those words will haunt him for the rest of his days on that ‘santa.’

I could not relate just one sentence to what Mintoff was all about. Seeing him being carried in churches and shown with a rosary beads in his hand makes me wonder if they knew him at all.

I wonder what is on the other side of the santa. Salvatur maybe?
