[Daphne – Yes, well, Larson – as long as you’re not still stuck doing that for the rest of your life like your ‘pa’ before you. Do make the most of the EU membership your Joseph fought again. You really don’t want to still be drinking beer at the Paola MLP club when you’re 50.]

I agree with you, Joe. I really do. However I am going to give you an example on how the younger generation really cannot be blamed.

I grew up hearing war stories from my grandmother and my mother. On cold winter nights it was our pleasure to sit around and listen to their stories. That is exactly what it was, fun and a fantasy that I could not fathom could ever have been real.

The younger generation of Malta have indeed been hearing US talk about the atrocities that took place during the Labour Party times. How can they fathom that
policemen were allowed to use their batons to beat up innocent people in public, being televised beating them, and get away with it.

How can they believe that or even begin to understand that 25 years ago they were not able to buy basic products, not able to take out more than 250 liri to go for a vacation, whether you were going for one day or for one month?

How do we expect them to believe all of this?

Let us hope and pray that they never have to witness these actions. Furthermore, let us hope that if they witness it, they will be courageous enough to rebel and stand up for their rights and erase this abhorent government once and for all, so that ma jergux ikissru Malta bhal ma ghamlu qabel.
