Kemm qed nisma b’ Mintoff li kien jimxi fuq il-hajja ta’ Kristu! Vera ma nifilhux naqaw fil-bassezzi.

Povru Dr Gorg Borg Olivier meta il-mara tieghu kella il-kaz taghha, il-Lejburisti bla ebda kuxjenza kienu jaghjruh bla ma kellu ebda htija “barri”. Issa l-idolu tal-Lejburisti mhux talli ma kienx barri hu imma kien ibarri lill hadd iehor u il-vili mhux xi hadd barra mil-familja tieghu imma lill huh stess – biex naraw il-vizjoni vera ta’ Kristu!

jien inhossni vera disgustat bil-gideb sfaccat kif il-Lejburisti iridu jmexxu meta haga semplici jibdluwha f’ virtuwijiet spettakolari. Mintoff miet u nispera li din is-saga tieqaf u nipprovaw ninsew mhux ghax mhux tajjeb li wiehed jitghallem minnhom imma inhossni nisthi nuri li dan kien imexxi lill Malta.

Lomax, I do agree with what you say.

Actually I know little about Wenzu Mintoff’s public life or the newspaper he runs which I don’t read and didn’t know he was the editor of.

[Daphne – My, no wonder people get into such messes.]

We chatted a few times as do most people nowadays to kill time, about things like health, fitness and work and he came across as pleasant and well-mannered.

As to meeting men on the internet, I met my best male friend of two years online and he is the most considerate person I have ever met. There’s no danger if you stick to public places keep your wits about you and take your time assessing a person.

[Daphne – You’re not keeping your wits about you, Claire, if you’re chatting to Labour politicians without knowing they are Labour politicians and that they edit the Labour Party’s newspaper. U tajba din ukoll. Wenzu Mintoff trying to pick up women in chat forums at his age. Or maybe because of his age? Tridx nidhollu jien taht false alias u nittantah wahda sewwa kif naf jien. Bloody idiot.]

It’s just another facet of modern socializing. You have to be as selective as you would be at a bar and it’s not always anonymous, at times it’s through mutual friends on Facebook.

As to the comparison between EFA and Alfred Sant, it’s purely in terms of what strikes me as integrity. You are free to disagree with me but he was right about JPO and he refused a chauffeur-driven car. Just because he was a Labour PM and I disagree with his policies, does not mean he must be corrput or evil.

I understand that sleeping with your brother’s wife is the ultimate form of betrayal but this is the era of trash TV and the Jerry Springer Show and we’ve become desentisized to the shock value of such things.

In the UK my jaw dropped when I watched a show called Sex Inspectors where they actually film couples having sex and then dissect their performance. I thought you could not go lower than that. I’m afraid nothing about the human race shocks me any more.

In Iran they’re discussing allowing marriage to girls under 10. I read the Princess trilogy at one go about the conditions of women in Saudi. I’ve reached the stage where I just accept mankind for what it is and it’s not a positive image.

For the record, my mother is typically religious and she would be appalled to read about this sort of betrayal and she did teach me right from wrong but as to being shocked no I’m sorry I’m immune to it all.

All right me xxxx you Jack. Prosit Musumeci.

Ostentatious, aren’t you?

[Daphne – Not at all. People like me leave that to the nouveaux riches.]

But then who said that we should limit the number of different shades of gray? You seem to be an expert at it by even daring to threaten, eh, advising me to be careful at my age.

Thanks for your concern …… and rest assured that there was no intended engagement of any sort on my part. Promise.

I’ll stop here as otherwise if you keep on answering me, one might be led to believe that I truly managed to grab your attention, which of course I didn’t.

Hahaha Daphne get a life ….. or better still …. seek professional help.
You are so blinkered with hatred that you have lost your sense of humour completely. I’ll start looking around for it starting by asking some of our mutual friends. They might have a clue as from where to start. not an easy task. If I manage to find it for you, it would be an excellent opportunity for us to be introduced. Perhaps then you would feel more comfortable and you won’t feel obliged to use the formal term to address me. Bye for now.
Who knows maybe I’ll talk to you at length shortly?

[Daphne – Be careful, Mr Mifsud, you sound as disturbed as the 18-year-old cretinous members of the Mintoffian underclass who post on Facebook and occasionally, this website. For somebody your sort of age, and a lecturer to boot, it is not a good idea or even a good look. And your last sentence gives away what most of you people really want, which is my attention and some form of engagement with me. ]

You forget that in 1998 Mintoff kept insisting that he was voting solely on the Cottonera project.

It was Sant himself who tried to play chess with the old master by tying the bill to a vote of confidence. It was another one of those huge errors for which Sant will long be remembered.

Il-gid u mhabba ta’ Mintoff f’mohh dawn in-nies li hafna minnhom stess saru ‘nies’ fi zmien il-PN u xorta wahda jibqghu joholmu fuq iz-zmien ta ‘hakma’ Laburista.

Dawn huma nies li ghandhom pozizzjoniet importanti anki f’kumpaniji privati u prominenti u jaqilghu eluf kbar ta’ flus fis-sena, izda jkomplu jmaqdru lil PN.

Bilhaqq skond Joseph Muscat u il-PL il-Maltin qed imutu bil-guh ukoll….qed nara jien.

L-internet ilu aktar min 20 sena u l-gurnali ilhom aktar, stajt ktibt dak li ktibt issa zien ilu ja brava, ghax ghalik kullhadd injurant anke l-arcisqof u l-Piministru u min baghat kliem ta tifhir kem min Malta u min barra, dawn kolla injuranti int biss il brava

[Daphne – Isma sew, CA: l-internet dahal Malta hafa wara l-1992 u anke wara li dahal, in-nies kienu juzawh biss ghal email u websites basiki qishom brochures. Ma kienx hemm ‘online newspapers’ Maltin u anke barra minn Malta, il-kuncett ta’ blog ma kienx jezisti. Gurnalist ma jistax jikteb xil-madoffi irid f’gazzetta. Hemm editur. Foris ghalhekk Wenzu Mintoff u Saviour Balzan ma kitbuhiex din l-istorja. Issa Saviour Balzan jista’ facilment jiktibu hu, ghaliex ghandu gazzetta tieghu, imma le, dak biss fl-Evil Click jiffissa.]
