Julian Borg gives me the impression (September 14) that freedom of speech does not exist in this country.
He deliberately attempts to twist my argument! I have respect for everyone, even those opposing my idea, but people who refuse to discuss things objectively worry me!
For the umpteenth time, my argument is not about the George Cross, whether it was an honour or not! That is a different subject altogether and there are varying views about it too.
What I am totally against is displaying this cross, which depicts the name of a past foreign person, on our flag or on aircraft of the Armed Forces of Malta! Yes, I am totally ashamed about this! I have all the right to feel this way and no servile mentality shall stop me!
Now if Mr Borg insists on wearing blinkers and ear plugs, that is his privilege, but this will surely not deter me and all those who support my cause to keep harping and putting our argument across. When the Romans civilised Britannia (a name originated in Rome) a few hundred years ago and founded different cities, they introduced laws and built up historical buildings in England.
They occupied that land for 400 years. My simple question is: Does the English flag have any mark on it depicting the name of a past Roman emperor? Like the “Claudius crown” or “Claudius robe” and surely not the “Claudius cross”? The intelligent reader understands my point.
The George Cross medal’s place is in the museum along with the other thousands of artefacts but not on our flag. The time has more than come to remove or replace this unwanted mark from our beloved flag.
I just ask the reader to look at this argument with open-mindedness, free from previous mind-conditioning.
