Mr Eddy Privitera himself got one of the best jobs on the island when he was employed as a Gaming Inspector at the Dragonara Palace Casino in 1964 when Dr Gorg Borg Olivier was Prime Minister. His post was better paid than that of the Prime Minister himself (we all were well paid at Drogonara, I was one of them.) Eddy retired while occupying the post of Games Manager, which is top notch in maltese gaming, This was at the time when Dr Eddy Fenech Adami was PM.
Eddy Privitera, I don’t intend to start a debate, we have been good colleagues all along and I wish to remain so despite of the fact that we always had different political inclinations. However, the facts and truth must always be told.

As for the young man who seeks a list of labour personnel
who were given high ranking post by nationalists administrations, I can go back to the 1960’s when the first Governer of the Central Bank of Malta was Mr Lino Spiteri
who was appointed by Gorg Borg Oliver’s government.
In those days the distinction between Labourites and Nationalists was not an issue. Meritocracy was.
In 1971, when Mintoff became PM, he started giving ‘jobs for the boys’ which is what JM is doing right now. Worst still, under Mintoff, the nationalist, or their children, were not given new jobs with Government or para statal organisations.
The PN also did give some jobs to nationalists , but never made other people resign their posts so that they may be filled by others.
Don’t believe them when they say otherwise. We know the truth. We lived the reality.

Not even the Minister for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda had such a wide-ranging portfolio.

Can you imagine the present incumbent handling the Libyan crisis? We’d probably be harbouring the dictator and his family right here.

That is the role of control freaks – they want to control everything and everyone. Control the police, the army and then start brainwashing minds. Reminds me of George Orwell’s 1984

The list will write itself because I presume they won’t sack one of their own.

Not even an overdose of Viagra will do anything to Eddy Privitera now.

Besides, if I’m not mistaken, when an extraordinary meeting with the head of this department is called every now and then, only three persons are to attend this meeting. The Prime Minister, the Foreign Affairs Minister and the Opposition Leader.

I remember ever so vividly the first revolutionary weeks of old Dom’s regime commencing in mid-1971.

Memories of what happened then are coming back to haunt me – and so many thousands of others who had the misfortune to be ‘alive and kicking’ at the time – now that il-ginger has stepped on the podium.

Eddy Privy from Mosta is really getting into my hair. His socialist anti-Nationalist ramblings for the past 30 years or so have been dull and boring.

Now that the “power is theirs” (apologies to Star Trek) he has turned very militant, vociferous and anti-democratic, such as telling Dr Gonzi to shut up because he lost the election by 37,000 votes. He forgets the meaning of the opposition in a democratic parliamentary context (or rather, he never knew it anyway).

One of the comments that is replicating itself like amoeba all over the internet comment boards of news websites, from Eddy Privy, is that it’s only right that the Movement’s government should install PL people in all chair and CEO positions, and at the helm of all government institutions (including the police and army). He carries on to say that the PN had also stuffed all the top positions with PN die-hards.

We all know for a fact that this is NOT true.

With your army of spies and informers, can you please give us a list of the corporations’ and government organisations’ leadership positions which were occupied by non-PN sympathisers.

I really need to bash this idiot over the head with this list, and he reads your blog, so hopefully it somewhat takes the bounce out of his step.
