In reply to H.P. Baxxter. I couldn't agree more.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. Peter Mayo? It figures. The greatest tragedy about Mintoff's legacy is that it's the decent people who are the most persistent in singing his praises.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter.

Actually I was quoting Peter Mayo.

Professor Sultana didn’t excuse Mintoff’s excesses but he did tend to go on about the big, bad Partit Nazzjonalista and how they are the descendents of the tyrannical Knights of St. John who wanted to keep the proletariat ignorant.

Oh, the hours wasted hearing such drivel.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. I would rather think it was KMB, as he was the one who was always going on how Mintoff was misunderstood.

The battered wife analogy is exceptional.

Malta under Mintoff’s rule was simply Hell on Earth. I grew up in it as a child belonging to a PN Supporters’ family. You tell us. He robbed my brothers and I, of the one thing we can never get back – our childhood. He gave my father Hell and thereby to the rest of the family. As he did to other numerous families who’s only crime was that they too were PN Supporters. Speaking of resisting pure evil for years on end. We have lived it and nobody will change that History, for as long as we live and our memories last.

Can’t agree with you more. Mintoff was an egoistic, self centered, dangerous, crazy bastard, who was an utter imbecile and wasn’t capable of even passing his University exams. His friends helped him in his assignments, he even borrowed all their books. Born with a chip on his shoulder he turned against all those who had helped him once they disagreed with him. I too can’t hear those who state “u ma kienx daqsekk hazin, alla jahfirlu”. May he burn in hell.

In reply to H. Prynne. Name and shame, please. Was it Ronald Sultana?
