Comments on: All that fuss about Mintoff when he died, and today they show no videos of Mintoff and show us Mandela, Gandhi, King and Havel instead

Comparing the end of a rent agreement to the achievements of these outstanding people, Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King and Vaclav Havel, is an insult to their memory, to their achievements and to their countries.

What freedom is the PL commemorating? In the early seventies, Malta had sufficient freedom for Mintoff to renegotiate the rent agreement with the British and extend it by five years to 1979.

In reply to La Redoute. No. It really diesn't matter whose idea it was. We already knew Dalli shouldn't have been appointed and we already knew we shouldn't believe what Muscat says.

In reply to Rahal.

That was the Nationalist governments’ greatest failure – they underestimated Duminku Mintoff’s legacy’s extreme level of ignorance and narrow mindedness.

The decent Maltese citizens, which number is decreasing with each day that goes by, are now paying the price.

LNG is perfectly safe, of course…

In reply to Rahal. Il Labour ma jaqlibx pagni. Jew int Laburist jew xejn. U meta nghid xejn ifisser xejn f`kollox, xoghol, promotion, ghajnuna. Jekk jigi wiehed minnhom liebes ta haruf joffrilek l-ghajnuna ibza minnu ghax mhux ghajnuna tiehu imma gambetti u rkejjen. L-unika haga li minna jibza il labour hi meta tieqaflu, kif jaghmlu il komunisti u socjalisti.

In reply to ciccio. Correction to 2 above: Marlene Farrugia, not Marlene Mizzi.

The right royal mess becomes an imperial disaster.

Wonder if Fearne put up the post to preempt ‘Castille’, given the glee with which agreements are brokered and broken.

And who’s typing away at the keyboard on behalf of ‘Castille’ now?

Off subject – but did I hear that Gozo Ferries are introducing a “Priority Boarding” system where the well off can pay more and jump the queue? Has the Police Commissioner been getting too many phone requests from minor functionaries who want special treatment or is this Jo’s vision for the elite and the better off?
