However, the most important thing here is not Elio Lombardi, the President’s palace or Mario Azzopardi’s photography but the way Labourites dare to compare their impatience to govern to an important historical moment like August 1942.

The Maltese of 1942 gave everything they could to survive the worst food shortage and the heaviest bombing ever and that’s why they had worked very hard to see a convoy with adequate supplies reaches the grand harbour and bring with it relief and encouragement to continue resisting the Nazis.

The Maltese of 2013 are not only way too obese to worry about starvation and way too comfortable to think of survival but are now independent members of the European Union and benefit from an economy that thanks to good governance has seen growth despite harsh competition and the worst financial crisis in a century.

Moreover, despite a recent temporary downgrade, our long term economic outlook is still far way better than that of countries, that just a decade ago, we just dreamt of brushing shoulders with let alone contribute financially to ease their economic misery.

This Labour clip could have been timely in 2003 before the EU referendum but back then Joey and Labour were busying themselves scaring people about the EU and luckily they were put on the wrong side of history. That was probably the worst example of how senseless fear was used by a major political party to keep the Maltese away from uniting and working together for a great future.

Now, surreally, Joey is claiming that they changed and is emphasising that the March election is a ‘mument storiku’.

IT IS NOT!

The next election can never be as important as the election in 1987 or 1998 or the referendum or election in 2003. It is just an ordinary, recurring moment in a democracy when citizens are called to decide who is better fit to run the country for the next 5 years.

I won’t go into who is better fit or not as there is hardly any choice but I think there is a very interesting point to consider.

The only way this election might one day be referred to as ‘historic’ is if the Maltese will vote wisely and hammer one of the last (if not the last) nail in labour’s coffin’s. That could definitely become a moment storiku!

And for a moment just imagine what a better place Malta would be without labour and super one.

He was the only witness brought by the stooge editor of “Ix-Xewka III”, who admitted under oath that he never read or wrote anything that was printed in the paper, when that paper was found guilty of libelling me in a scurrilous article published on 3 December 1987.

Incidentally, the damages set at 800 Malta Liri, the highest award till then, were paid through a cheque issued by the Malta Labour Party.

Kieku kien xi lejrubist, kieku aqta kemm ghajjartu gidra lil dan! Hehe.

Can’t see the clip myself either, and this isn’t a iPad I’m using. Bugger, was curious to view it.

1. Officers don’t have rank slides on their epaulettes.

2. Peak caps don’t carry the regimental badge.

3. No sand bags in side (the most common precaution against air raids).

4. Soldiers out in the open would have been wearing “tin caps” not peak caps.

5. The ADC escorting the Maltese delegation isn’t wearing his cap (that is against regulations, except when inside).

6. The Maltese delegation look like a Bormla band club delegation working at the dockyard in 1982. There’s no chance in hell that any Maltese worth his while would have dreamt of going anywhere but into the garden in shirt sleeves and open neck, let alone to meet His Excellency The Governer.

7. There is NO HISTORICAL BASIS to this rubbish. In August 1942 there was no talk of surrender as the famous Malta Convoy (Operation Pedestal) was either coming in (and everyone knew about it) or just came in.

8. I thought it was a foreigner’s war that we were dragged into (never mind that it was a “WORLD WAR”) and that we all died for the foreigner, but Malta “taghna”, so we died for the foreigner in fighting for our country.

…and then Mintoff came along and out of his own free will and pocket demolished the Mandragg in Valletta and rebuilt it, if you believe Grajjiet Malta.

What an illiterate bunch of skivvies.

Why is Narcy Calamatta reminding us of “missirijiet missirijietna”?
