Beck to the ministri kjus tal-80s – but what the hack

Published: March 18, 2013 at 11:14pm

This is a 1980s song – but please don’t run away with the idea that it was recorded before 1987. Anybody who tried doing that would have been disappeared for 48 hours by Inspector Gadget, the man now slated to be either the Speaker of the House or something new, Malta’s ‘Special Prosecutor’.

Marie Louise Coleiro Preca

    I wish PN would air the passionate parliamentary speech Eddie Fenech Adami made after the killing of Raymond Caruana, just to show the smirks on the faces of those sitting opposite him (particularly those who are ministers today) – that alone should be enough to destroy all credibility these people may have, and to show that voting PL is not only an irresponsible choice but an immoral one.

    Honestly, what went wrong? Why aren’t we rid of these people yet? Seeing this picture of the former secretary-general (if I’m not mistaken) of the MLP is sickening.

    If there are any Laburisti still hanging around this blog, please take the time to watch this speech – it would be well worth it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V650dVXefSs

    [Daphne – Yes, Marie Louise Coleiro was secretary-general of the Malta Labour Party at the time.]

    One of the singers is Mr. Vince Fabri, one of the new elected councillers in Valletta.

    I know somebody who went to wait in the kju, single mother living on social security, who does her hair every Friday, does her nails every 3 weeks and has an electricity bill of over €5,000.

    She went to Marie Louise Coleiro to see what she can do about this bill, maybe get it waived.

    Those were days with extremely long nights attached to them with motorbikes whizzing between ‘secret’ recording places and very watchful eyes ready to pounce on you to have one arrested for disobeying some unstated curfew. There really was an undeclared ‘moviment’ in those days.

    When I think of the years between 1981 and 1987 I shudder, too many bad memories, too much repression, too much harm, too much of everything negative.

    Those were years when The Times of Malta was a real newspaper, where Page Thirteen every Sunday came out to accuse the then MLP government of corruption, of shady dealings, of torture, of the breaking of human rights, of being guilty of suffocating the freedom of expression and of association. Those bloody “golden years” that have been held pseudo-dormant in 25 years only to see them resurfacing.

    God forbid if we go back to anything like that… why are the Maltese so masochistic ?? Do they miss the MSU and the Koreans and the nasty pranks of the 80s?
