Most people were scared to do anything about it then and – as this post shows – many still can’t get themselves to talk about it openly.

Fear of repercussions? I don’t know, but mice and bells come to mind.

People my age, whose teenage years and young adulthood were ruined by the Dom Mintoff years of the 70s and 80s, view the last two and a half years as deja vu.

In reply to tim.

And there I am in total agreement. Before history is shorn of political correctness and told as it is, the hnizrijiet of the past will never be widely acknowledged and admited.

History is meant to enlighten us so as not to repeat it in certain cases – but how can this be if it is not known?

Perhaps one of the main reasons that made it easy for the Labour electoral campaignto hoodwink so many young voters is simply that they did not know enough of what the Labour Party is, and this prevented them from having a healthy fear of it.

In reply to Reuben Scicluna. Lots of my readers were not even born in the 1980s, Reuben, let alone were old enough to understand what was going on - still less to protest about it.

But I still can’t see why this post is different from our susurrations of protest in the privacy of our sitting rooms in the 80s. Or Kundera’s paranoid creations.

Spicca l-perit u ghandna l-avukat; spicca t-tirann u ghandna l-paternalista; spicca l-XXL u ghandna l-XXXXL.

Ghax xi hadd darba qalli li Joseph hu t tifel ta’ Mintoff, u jien merejthu. How wrong I was.

‘Mintoff never had any male children (that we know of). But he had one
special spiritual child – Joseph Muscat. He is now our prime minister.’

Mintoff never saw eye to eye with Alfred Sant so he got rid of him to make way for Joseph Muscat.
