Joan Mintoff: Joanne Gardens in Hal Tarxien were named after her and her sister Anne, as daughters of the Great Leader

Posted by Ghar u Kasa on this website:

During the glorious Mintoff years, nobody was allowed to build around his Tarxien villa. This abuse was rectified after 1987, when permits were issued. But by then he had already ordered and completed the creation of a ‘public garden’ at the rear of his home. The name? JOANNE GARDENS, for his daughters Joan and Anne.

Imagine the Super One hysterics, and rightly so, if Lawrence Gonzi were to do something similar today.

    Daf, have you got a different photo of Dom’s, ray of sunshine, because this one is giving me sleepless nights.

  3. Jozef says:

    Is it one where cats sleep under the bushes?

    It’s the garden where chavs go to dump their used syringes from the bar across the road (Espadon). That bar is now a police no-go area.

  5. in fact, to the contrary, Lawrence Gonzi opened a much-debated and criticised recycling plant in front of his house!!! note the difference.

    [Daphne – Which house are you talking about? This is the one in Hal Tarxien, not ‘Smellimara’.]

    An astrology page on a Catholic monk’s blog? Why hasn’t he been defrocked already?

    He should be de-trousered and given six of the best on his backside.

    A street in Zurrieq was and remains named after Gizwalda Calleja, for the simply reason that she gave birth to a boy named Reno.
