It looks as if history is repeating itself.

I’d dare say Mintoff was paid for the talkathon.

The only view that was effective enough against Alfred Sant.

There can’t be a new owner if the prior one never sold.

They did think that other areas in Delimara were “Private Land” because Mintoff liked to go there.

Mintoff would send his thugs to clear the way for him.

The thugs eventually were told it is public land and they were made to pay the grand total of “2 and 6” for their part in trying to falsely ‘establish’ that it was private land.

At that time Anton Buttigieg had a role similar to Toni Abela’s. (Heaven forbid history repeats itself on that score).

It was Anton Buttigieg who went and did the whispering-in-ears rounds trying to sway legal decisions.

But thankfully Magistrates still had morals then.

Even the Police Inspector involved wondered why his time had been wasted by Mintoff and his thugs but the more menial ones had the same mentality as those there today: Mintoff could do as he pleased.

So will the Xlukkajri who have been denied the charm of the fishing village Marsaxlokk used to be. You can’t compensate one person not the rest. Get to it fast, guys.

Your flat probably isn’t in ‘di sawt’. Location, location, location – as they say.

Most if not of all of the land in the area is “owned” by Mintoffian loyalists probably gifted to them by their former master – just anither guess of course.
