“Taking to the streets” and “governing from the squares” are typical Mintoffian ‘activities’ organised against the government during colonial rule. The PN adopted similar tactics after the 1981 ‘gerrymandered’ election result, against a Maltese government.

It is therefore very easy to convince Labour minds that any mass demonstration (even if it’s only a silent march) is directed against the government of the day. That is why any demonstration with political overtones but not directly organised by the Labour Party taking place during a PN administration is so heavily attended.

“They say it’s because many people think it’s being organised by a PN sympathiser to cause damage to the government.” You may call it ‘convoluted reasoning’ but as you have said that is exactly how a Labour/Mintoffian mind ticks.

Is that the reason they’re giving? They must really think we’re stupid.

Oh wait, they think we think like them, that explains it all.

“Madam Ambassador, I assure you that my boss has no problem with African American ladies like yourself serving as the US Ambassador here. But had Mr Obama sent a healthy African American man as Ambassador instead, we would have pushed him back, in the national interest.”
