Comments on: Some of that British humour which is perfectly beyond Muscat, Pullicino Orlando, Mugliett, Debono and so very many other ‘typical Maltese’

Before “Freedom of Speech,” you need “Freedom of Thought” and ‘the majority’ won’t be permitted anything of the sort.

The two concepts are different, yet only one forms part of Human Rights. It is assumed, that the two are the same.

Blame the British.

They handed Malta democracy on a plate. I am sure if they had to fight for it, they would value it.

Comparisons are odious.

Let us not forget that parliamentary democracy in Britain is three hundred years old.

In Malta, we are about to celebrate its fiftieth birthday. And that is being very optimistic and stubbornly refusing to wash the country’s dirty linen in public.

The dominant culture in Maltese society, the type which I and Daphne yearn for, will not be around for many moons to come.

I will not live to see it and I strongly suspect that neither will Daphne.
