Because he’s a coward.

The chain in the garden hose is called a “nerf” or its Maltese version of spelling although the original nerf was made from a length of 1/2 inch diameter steel cable with the end twisted wires which made up the cable unfurled so the individual wire ends can scourge the skin and flesh when violently struck with it.

There was another bully weapon of choice in Malta that was popular in pre-steam ship British Colonial Malta and that was a stretched and dried bull penis which had a name in Maltese that escapes me at this very moment.

Change indeed!

When you were hit by the chain in the hose pipe Saviour Balzan was walking a few metres behind you accompanied and protected by his uncle Inspector Balzan. I am sure that he saw you falling on your knees. He can’t not have done.

I cannot believe that now he is supporting this scum.

Piju Camilleri was a household name to us because Lorry Sant expropriated my grandfather’s land for the public purpose of building four villas and my grandfather never received compensation.

Let’s all hope this is not the same stretch along the Rabat Road where a number of residencies were being built in the early eighties in flagrant defiance of good taste and the environment.

Construction was finally stopped by the then PAPB following public outcry.

Good going PL – It’s fast forward to the eighties right?

Is Joseph Muscat delaying the resignation of Louis Grech beyond the pre-election agreed date?

Did any of the ministers, including Leo Brincat, Karmenu Vella and Lino Spiteri, resign in protest over this, and a sequel of other equally serious incidents?

Let us also not forget that people like the ‘the highly regarded’ Louis Grech, his friend and business associate Norman Spiteri and others of their ilk, did their utmost to back the morally corrupt Mifsud Bonnici government, and were close to succeeding.

This kind of mentality is the reason why Labour lost the 1987 election by a mere 4000 votes and the Nationalists got trounced in such a fashion just a few months ago.
