Comments on: How nice – why not erect this right next to Ronnie Pellegrini’s monument to Lorry Sant, and have a third monument – to a brown envelope – installed between them?

In reply to Jonathan.

I would rather the PL organized and executed it, at least one does not need to feel that it somehow represented our ‘gratitude’ for Mintoff.

After all why would I need a statue to again give me a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach when ever I saw it. Of course all those who got positions and wealth without working for them feel otherwise.

In reply to M.. The sheer evil that is Mintoff deserves something far more powerful. I'm talking self-immolation.

Nothing bad in having a monument to a past prime minister; however, I think that such a monument to a past prime minister should be in the sphere of the government and not the Labour Party. If the Labour Party want a monument to Mintoff they should have it erected in the lobby of their HQ.

Someone mentioned to me that they might put it as part of City Gate.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. There is a plaque with Mintoff's name on it at the entrance to the Tigullio car park. Many a time have people got a frog in their throat while passing by it ...

In reply to Borma Moghlija. In that case, there's already a good one standing in the middle of a roundabout in Luqa.

Is there a law against intent to vandalise? Then arrest me now.

I am totally against the Mintoff monument but if we are going to have one then shouldn’t it be the government rather than the Labour Party that decides where this monument will be erected?

Isn’t that one on the right Sandro Chetcuti? The construction magnate who hit Vince Farrugia? Isn’t he still under trial?
