Thank you. It&#039;s what&#039;s written in the history books (obviously not Jo and Mark Camilleri&#039;s &quot;Ħelsien&quot;), but no one seems to care. Maybe after a couple of generations we will be able to look back at the time period with a bit of objectivity.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The PN should have dismantled that obscenity of a &#039;monument&#039; the first opportunity they had. 

Unfortunately, they legitimised it so that the new generations continue to be conned into believing that Freedom Day is what the PL make it out to be rather than the day that the dictator Gaddafi was idolised by the &#039;partit tal-haddiema&#039; and its venal leader, after the British left because THEY REFUSED MINTOFF&#039;S BEGGING PLEA TO STAY.]]></description>

That announcement was a sop to the video clips of Mandela and Luther King. By making that hollow statement, he undercut the possibility of unflattering headlines.

Muscat has never bern to a detention centre and for his entire political career, he has been perfectly content to leave people on the high seas or locked up on arrival.

Why are children locked up, anyway? The official policy is that they are released into open centres along with their families.]]></description>

It was Mintoff who negotiated with the British government to extend the lease till 1979. So where is the freedom that is being celebrated today?]]></description>
