HPB, his friends would have wanted their fair share too.

Is-Salvatur didn’t need bribes. What he wanted, he just stole, with the full authority of the law, the House and the Attorney-General.

But as we all know this is Labour and Labour is nothing but hype, and that the monies made last week will remain with Mintoff’s family.

Come on, Yana, be an exemplary model. Donate.

Aren’t politicians, acting in their public capacity, required to report all official gifts received from heads of state or politicians of other courtries?

Times of Malta and Malta-cum-Star-Today helped in creating a storm in a cup over that blessed “Arlogg”. One would now expect them to objectively criticise this Mintoffian sale and how the Mintoff daughters sold off “gifts” that were given to the prime minister.
