No, it's not Patty Heart of the Symbionese Liberation Army. It's Yana Mintoff, soon to be your Minister of Social Policy.

No, this video is not a joke or a spoof. It’s real. Some time in the 1990s, I was sitting at lunch near Joe Sammut, a senior civil servant and rabid Mintoffian who was later appointed by the Nationalist government to the post of Malta’s first Ombudsman (ghax in-Nazzjonalist they give things to the klikka only ta).

He gave him a graphic eyewitness account of this experience, having been with Dom Mintoff on that official visit to Kim Il Sung’s dictatorship, one of our Commie friends in the Golden Years.

Mr Sammut was very impressed and it showed as he spoke to me about it: how they danced in perfect unison, how they learned all the words of Ma Taghmlu Xejn and sang them as though they grew up speaking Maltese, how wonderful it was to see that spectacle.

Gosh, I said, really, wow, what an experience. And then I realised it was time to turn to the person sitting on my right and strike up a conversation there.

Years later, with the advent of YouTube, I got to see what it was like. Now I’m playing it repeatedly to get myself used to the idea of having another Mintoff in government – the dead f**king bastard’s money-grubbing pensioner daughter.

    That is one hell of a scary, ugly pic.

    Joseph Muscat is likely to appoint MintoffYana as the Minister in charge for the national reconciliation programme of his Most Feminist Government.

    I know that what im going to ask does not have anything to do with this post but anyway….another scandal yet to unfold later today? Is this true? God forbid us from anything happening in the last weekprior to election as we cannot afford to change directionin these crucial times.

  4. Ice says:

    Joe Sammut is also the father in law of Chris Fearne. Apart from Ombudsman, he was also appointed ambassador.

  5. She can’t really put her uber left-wing socialist days behind her can she? She still dresses up and speaks in the same way as her radical days (including those where she threw manure in the British Parliament). Bless her Stepney days.

    Well, we can’t call him a liar ghax kellu ragun ; ma milna xejn.

    We carried on the theme with K.M.B – iz-zero.

    Followed by Alfred cuckoo-clocks-in-the-Med Sant – zilch.

    And now, with the most vacuous of pretenders at our door, the most important question is:

    How many more words are there to describe failure?

    She should have stuck to grabbing and flinging shit

    I’m still waiting for the full version.

    Illiduh u illiiduh, il-pelit Mintoff illiduh!

    It has been documented that on his arrival to various Communist functions within the totalitarian, dictatorial, repressive and oppressive state that is North Korea, il-Perit Dom Mintoff was regaled with the propagandist chants of the Labour simpletons by throngs of very young children, in sickeningly straight rows.

    Due to their being Asian, they could not pronounce the letter ‘r’ properly. (Hence the ‘l’s instead of the ‘r’s)

    I shudder at the thought of the treatment meted out to the parents of those 5 and 6 year-olds who did not fare well in their paranoiac repetitive rehearsals.

    Obsessive compulsive doesn’t even get close.
