    Why no English subtitles on this one? So ‘il-barrani’ does not cotton on to the trash being fed to the cultureless audience? What a creep.

    I don’t know why Mintoffjani always have to be so bombastic and pompous. And Renato is really hamming it up too.

      It’s called socialist propaganda.

        Have you ever seen Stalinist propaganda of the 50s and North Korea even up to the present day?
        There you have the roots of the rok opra “Gensa” based on fiction emanating from the Macina.

        I’m a 36 year old but I neither consider myself as labourist or socialist I am Proud to be still a Mintoffjan. He is the Father of the Maltese Island cause if it was to the English Licking George Borg Olivier we are still under there rule although they gave us the so called Independence( What a Parse)

      It was the time of colonialism all over the world. Had not it been the British, it would have been another foreign power.

      Hux die for the colonialists! What utter rubbish! Our forefathers died for their OWN freedom – not to be taken by some other power.

      And, if I’m not mistaken, this song is about World War II – as if we could remain out of it, situated bang in the middle of the Mediterranean.

      Or maybe Renato would rather we were taken by Hitler and Mussolini and died for them?

      U halluna – mitna ghall-barrani my foot.

      Thousands more would have died had we been taken by the Germans – ours is not a superior race – ours is not even a race, let’s face it.

      I’ll tell you one thing Bob and DomMin, it certainly wasn’t worth their while dying for ungrateful bastards like you lot.

    He looks like somebody you wouldn’t allow your five-year-old children to be around unsupervised.

    Mietna ghalxejn? Tell that to the millions like these;

    Jews, gays, gypsies, socialists, liberals, intellectuals, slavs, handicapped, no one was spared.

    This piece verges on the holocaust’s denial.
