Do read the link I’ve posted below. It’s fascinating to see how we lived and what we put up with because we were outnumbered by the Pitchfork Army and their money-grubbing tal-pepe camp-followers.
It’s not so fascinating to see the spiritual descendants of those money-grubbing tal-pepe camp-followers about to do it again.
Kif ma jisthux. And boasting about it, too, with pride and bravado. Imagine that.

There’s more on this website. Here’s a man persecuted by Hitler, sent to a concentration camp by the Nazis as a teenager for anti-Nazi activities, comparing Mintoff’s education policies to the Nazis’.

Read the letter for an expert analysis of Labour’s education policy under Mintoff.
And here’s the gentleman’s credentials:

No wonder the Mintoff girls were educated in universities in the imperialist /capitalist west,
NOT EVEN MINTOFF HAD ANY FAITH IN HIS OWN REFORMS AT THE TIME.
This is not living in the past.
Alex Sceberras Trigona was voted back into the front line of the Labour Party after an invitation by the present leader, Joseph Muscat, for old-timers to come forward, and he is now responsible for the international relations of the party, a task practically identical to that he held when he was responsible for the signing of the secret agreement with North Korea.
It is not the Nationalist Party which is bringing up the past but the Labour Party itself, and glorifying it.
If there was one thing which Sant did admirably it was getting rid of the old cobwebs, only for Muscat to undo everything.
SCUM. The whole lot of them.
don’t want to be a pain in the ass but i think you meant “money grabbing” as opposed to “money grubbing”.
Uff.
I have to stop this.
Sorry.
Must visit me shrink now.
[Daphne – No. I meant exactly what I wrote: money-grubbing. Google it. Or I’ll just save you the bother: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/moneygrubbing . It’s actually money-GRABbing that’s erroneous, in the sense that it’s a corruption of money-grubbing.]
thank you. my bad.
still going to shrink
If he or she prescribes psychotropic drugs, tell them to get fucked and spend the money on broads instead.
As a child growing up in Sliema in the 1970s/1980s, it was considered the norm to see hordes of North Koreans in their denim-coloured uniforms being shunted by the bus-load to and from Tigne Barracks.
Though I didn’t understand the implications of their presence in Malta at that age, we eventually experienced the brunt of it some years later when they – or the “personnel” they trained – were an ominous presence at students’ protests against the closure of our schools in the early 1980s.
well, actually, not entirely my bad . . .
US vs UK again.
u used there, a used here.
but they only use a kind of bastardised dialect of our language.
This was my beloved country’s moment of shame.
I was one of a few hundred who had the courage (and the resources, to be fair) to stand up to a brutal, totalitarian and fascist regime.
I was almost starved and bankrupted in the process and had to resort to family handouts. The ordeal lasted nine whole years.
My children ask : Was it worth it pa ?
Worth it ?
It was my finest hour.
I yearn to go through it again.
I blame Eddie Fenech Adami and GonziPN (as always) for denying me the opportunity.
I will never forget what a staunch PL supporter, who was also a colleague, told me when the situation went over the top.
He said to me “the men have been counted”.
How right he was.
May I ask? – was the “secret treaty” legal? I believe that any treaty, to be considered valid, had to have the approval of Parliament. Is this so?
If the treaty was secret, and Parliament did not know about it, how could it have been debated and voted for?
In any case it was an agreement between governments and therefore binding.
It was years (actually quite recently) that the affair was made public and therefore it is now that sane minded people should show their disgust and contempt of such action by Mintoff, AST and the Socialist clique and not vote for the stars of the ‘golden era’.
That was the 1980s under Labour. The rule of law was a fairy tale.
Thanks –
