They have to, probably.

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?

There really was an undeclared ‘moviment’ in those days.

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

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.]
