OK then. If you wish to eradicate the poison you should have many of the senior people in the PN expelled.

I don’t know how Simon Busuttil can hope to build a liberal right party (does he?) with all the fascistophiles hanging about.

I’d start with the unbearably stupid Italianate party hymn. Sbejha o patria indeed. I’m all for shipping the whole bloody lot to Uganda again.

History is blurred, of course there were convinced blackshirts, some who went around admiring the efforts of Regia, but that shouldn’t exclude the convenient witchhunt from the story.

This is why the predicament of those days has to be explored in full, to eradicate any perpetuation of the poison.

But that requires ruthless analysis, making the PN truly national.

Anything else, and we get Labour.

The inauguration of Villa Francia was, wrongly, an excuse for more of this rant by the same people.

As though supplying the enemy with detailed maps of the Grand Harbour, as one example, was of no issue.

One would have thought that they might have shown appreciation for the mercy shown them.

Had the proof, in hand, been put on the table then, they would have met with a certain death.

Our illustrious historian never misses an opportunity to state otherwise and attempt to blur actual events.

You may think it’s just Tonio Borg and a few other old-school “Stamperija” types, but it’s worse. Much worse.

There are “zaghzagh” in the MZPN who will go on about their ancestors’ deportation to Uganda by the evil “Inglizi”.

I think they’re all anti-British fascist scum. Honestly. It’s no use trying to reason with them. Their great-grandfathers were aiding and abetting the enemy so they deserved everything they got. Actually, they came off rather well, seeing as they all shot to power on their return to Malta.

And don’t get me started on some of the columnists who try to rationalise it all by the most extraordinary sophistry.

Fascinating. So Tonio Borg actually proposed a monument to all British officers who met regularly opposite the palace.

Even the graffiti’s fascist, glorious death and skeletons in every cupboard.

It’s no coincidence that the frightful Tonio Borg was the PN’s monument-erector-in-chief.

I remember with a shudder his (happily failed) efforts to erect a monument to Malta’s war-time fascist sympathizers. It’s a matter of great regret that he succeeded in tipping the balance in favour of the Unborn Child monument in Naxxar, a campaign led by the even more ghastly Paul Vincenti (so fabulously and accurately Daph-slapped in an earlier post on this blog).

Muscat’s second republic celebrated by Baxxter’s monumental turd.

In the USA past presidents have new libraries, art galleries, university endowments and so on for their commemoration.

George Borg Olivier’s statue in Castille Square is also ugly and very much in the same style as those future three.

I love to look at the Independence monument – so full of life, enthusiasm, freedom and all depicted in such a graceful way.

I agree 100%
