They are as sheep to the slaughter, with the knowledge and ignorance and complaisance of sheep.

Which is why I never criticise those who keeps their feelings to themselves. Not many Labour voters do Saskia. They went to great lengths to tells us in precise and copious detail their entire life story and the reason for their political choice.

Those that got blow-torched under Mintoff had a pretty good idea of what corruption looked like: they had to battle with it and withstand the heat every single day. No mean feat.

People keep saying about how corrupt the PN were. And yet, as far as I recall, nothing serious ever came out. And when something did come up (as with the Sliema mayor) it was dealt with appropriately. I guess people didn’t have a reference point of what corruption looks like; now they do.

Those two were literally shot at dawn. No such luck in our case.

Last but not least is the removal of jackets when attending high level meetings, a gimme five welcome with President Trudeau of Canada. All things help to raise the morale of ignorant followers. Hot air pressure is increasing and explosion time is due soon.
