The brass neck on Dom Mintoff’s daughter is just unbelievable

SORRY, NOT ENOUGH WORDS
Yana Mintoff Bland was in The Times today, hectoring us about corruption and citizens’ rights. See below.
The Labour government is operating on transparency and meritocracy, with no oligarchy, and electors promise their No. 1 vote to those who can get them their medicine, and it’s not right that they should be disadvantaged when the rich have cars and can drive around to any pharmacy they please.

Din ghada ma qatatx qalba jew qed tistenna l-bicca taghha skond il meritokrazija “del cazzo”.
Are we even living in the same country? Has she gone off to some parallel universe where only the rich drive cars?
Were there a substantial amount of people without access to healthcare under the Nationalist government? I’d appreciate some clarity.
A few blocks up from where I live is a Housing Estate. I am always amazed by the number of BMWs and Audi’s I see parked around the apartments. I own a six year old Aygo and it suits me well.
My line of work includes house visits too. I notice that very often people living in Housing Estates and other poor areas have crappy furniture, doors, furnishings. However they would have a Wii player, satellite TVs, expensive TVs, wardrobes bursting with clothes etc.
It’s all about priorities and values. Intelligence plays a big part here too.
Would I prefer splurging on a Mediterranean cruise or save some money to buy my own apartment? Smoke a daily packet of cigarettes or buy those heart pills which the government doesn’t provide free just yet?
Saw her pic at the top, read the headline, read a bit, gave up, since so full of inanities, told myself, ‘she’s history’.
Used to work out in the gym with her sister, Anne. An unusual, but a somewhat, at times, normal chick. Sullen, unhappy and sad.
Tried to get her to describe her Dad, but no luck. Not much love there.
She evidently doesn’t know whether she’s coming or going.
There are more cars in Malta than people. Last Sunday, it tokk me two hours to get from Sliema to Mellieha.
Has this Mintoff woman not learnt anything since she came to Malta to open her father’s will?
When is Joseph going to hand her her present in the form of an appointment at the people’s expense?
Yana violated “the Law of Silence” since come election day Yana tested my sister (being a voter registered on her district) to “ivvota lil Mintoff Yana fl-ahjar interess tad-drittijiet tac-cittadini” (or something to this effect).
My sister called me to wonder how somebody who was so blatantly breaking the law had the cheek to claim that she would defend our rights.
The fact that that law is an ass and this law is past its sell-by date is quite beside the point. Fact is these people, the whole lot of them, break mores and ethical rules and common rules of decency and then hurl accusations around as though they were candid and virginal.
it’s no use whining – the PN must also do the same (referring to your last sentence)
Din ghada tixxennaq ghal xi job ta’ meritokrazija?
Mhux job – ghax din ma ghandiex bzonn bil miljuni li wirtet. Izda trid “Premju” bhal ma hadu l-ohrajn. Jien nissuggerila toqghod fil queue ghax hemm qabda qabila.
U tighid ma nsibulhiex xi haga ukoll?
As they say in Italy: Vecchia gallina fa buon brodo. I would add “e niente di utile”
If she cares so much for the lot of the poor working class, she should put her money where her mouth is by donating her share of the fabulous Mintoff inheritance to some officially-recognized charitable institution
Her opinion piece betrays her ignorance of Maltese society. She preaches distributism, citing Mondragon as an example, oblivious of the fact that similar set-ups would fail in Malta.
Most Maltese consider employment solely as a means to provide money to feed the family and fund their entertainment. The desire to master one’s profession for it’s own sake is illogical to most. You’ll find no society of artisans here. We could have had something like that post-indendence, but the Maltese preferred trade unions to guilds and chose a hodgepodge of socialism and Sicilian-style patronage, replete with a command economy, bulk buying and the forced nationalisation of private companies. Twenty-five years later and the Maltese still are still stuck in this socialist rut.
Anyway, rant over. I will grant Ms. Bland one point though: the level of blatant clientelism (political or otherwise) in the health care industry is unacceptable in 2013 and it makes me doubt the integrity of any medical professional running for parliament.
Yours is a rare perspicacity, Abulafia. But then, given your name, I shouldn’t be surprised. Historians rule.
Agreed, if only they followed the Tuscan or Emilian strain of catho-communism.

Period photos, when glamour required anything other than just money.
Nah. Why should we emulate the bloody Italians when we were born Englishmen?
