Nous as in the platonian idea of intellect. Watching the first part of Toni Abela’s performance on TV I still cannot believe that this is what new PL is about. How can he equate a meeting of heads of state (PM Gonzi with Ben Ali) with the invitation of a disgraced Bulgarian socialist to a PL Conference? How stupid do they think we are? So long as he can quote “Candide” (which I doubt he read) then he can sit on a TV programme and claim that Labour’s invitee who was obviously intervening to prop Joseph’s policies (and not on a courtesy state visit) .
Well the more you hear the latest antics of Joseph’s Labour the more convincing is the argument that Alternattiva should be pitching their tent on Joseph’s former electoral base. Then I came across this Labour party production. Rewriting history is not a strong enough statement to describe this promo… it’s almost strong enough to make you reach for a PN membership application form.
We’re in deep do-do.

demi nous!
@ Jacques, and what exactly are you objecting to in this production? Isn’t it a factual representation of the events that have characterised the Labour Party’s contribution to the development of Malta during the past 90 years?
Where do I begin Keith? Where?
As the March Hare said, “Start at the beginning and stop when you reach the end” (or something like that). Kuraġġ.
Could you be a bit more specific in your criticism?
“Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.”
“The past was alterable. The past never had been altered.”
The way Integration was glossed over was lovely. Pity they did not show any photos of Labour meetings of the time with the outsize Union Jack backdrop.
And nothing from 2003? How did Labour get to have representatives “fl-Ewropa”?
The worst thing about Labour’s chronic idiocy is the PN’s smugness as a result of.
