Is somebody able to explain this?

This post, which is now four years old (February 2011), is suddenly active again. Does anybody have any kind of idea why?
I realised something was up when I found a spate of fresh comments waiting for upload beneath it today. So I checked it out and found that it had been shared 375 times on Facebook. A couple of hours later I checked again and it had been shared another 100 times.
How has it suddenly become topical? I’m curious.

Possibly because Peter Darmanin (ex-PN treasurer) posted it on Facebook.
It was posted by Peter Darmanin yesterday on the Facebook group “This is Malta under the Labour government”.
[Daphne – Thank you.]
Peter Darmanin religiously posts many of your posts on Facebook.
Yes, he posted it yesterday at about 10.30pm.
Peter Darmanin qed iffakkarna fil-hnizrijiet li ghamel il-MLP fiz-zmien tat-70/80ijiet.
Fil-ktieb tieghu li kien kitbu fis-sena 1996 “Imhatra li diga Nsejt! – Eku tal-Hmar il-Lejl Socjalista” hemm episodji tant koroh li Malta ghaddiet minnhom taht is-socjalisti.
F’dan il-ktieb tista issib xebh ma’ certi decizjonijiet li ittiehdu f’dawn l-ahhar 20 xahar mill-gvern Laburista.
I see you have Google Analytics on this site, so you may use it to track trends, patterns, etc.
In this particular case you may filter by pages where the landing page (entrance) is the one you want to get info about, then set the secondary dimension to “source/medium”.
Example of sources: Google searches, referrals and direct visits. In the case of Google searches you may track what users searched for before landing on your site. In the case of referrals you may see the domains that referred traffic to your site (in this case Facebook).
[Daphne – Much easier to ask who started it on Facebook. The answer came in immediately.]
It is the smuggled budgies in the speedos that made it popular again with a certain crowd.

I wonder if the photo here and the ‘friendships’ among those shown can explain this threat to our security:
He [Mr Musrati loyal to the Tripoli ‘government’] also highlighted that the visa system has been shut down at Ta’ Xbiex and visas will start to be issued from Attard, along with the bills of lading, very soon.
Somebody commented beneath that article:
Do they (the Libyans) have two embassies in Italy, France, Germany, UK, USA or any other democratic country, for all that matter? So why do the Libyans expect to have different arrangements here, then?
Can the government explain whose credentials it recognizes and what the illegal occupation of either the Embassy or the Consulate in our country means for us in Malta?
Do you expect Joseph and Grandpa George to go into the minutiae of the Foreign Ministry’s dealings with the Libyan factions and expose their ‘derriere’ to tiny curious gnomes like you and me?
They certainly won’t.
The first reason why is probably because they themselves have no idea of how matters stand in Libya.
The second is because they certainly have none as regards to how they should handle the situation.
What those in the pic knew but did not tell the Maltese public:
