It seems the George Cross controversy has surfaced once again. Frans Said’s excellent letter (May 21) was very informative.

I would like to add that it was the Maltese people who asked the English to rid them of Napoleon and his band of thieves.

I had written before in favour of retaining the George Cross on our flag and do not intend to repeat what I have already said.

I also pledged then that I would not write again about the subject and also urged those in favour of the GC to do the same.

Unfortunately I have broken my promise. The George Cross will stay.

It would be an utter disgrace and insulting if ever removed.
