I would like to ask Eddy Privitera (The Sunday Times, November 8) whether the person who had attacked Tarcisio Mifsud at home (even though this might not have been due to political animosity), had been arraigned in court.

This comparison with the events of Black Monday (October 15, 1979) does not hold water for the simple reason that Mr Mifsud was not a political figure. This was unlike what took place on Black Monday since none of the Labour thugs who had set fire to the Times building in Valletta , destroyed the Floriana and Birkirkara Nationalist Party clubs and later ransacked Eddie Fenech Adami's Birkirkara residence ever faced criminal charges.

One wonders why Mr Privitera never urged Labour politicians to identify the people involved in these dark episodes.

Both he and current Labour leader Joseph Muscat never really offered an apology for what took place then but they only seem to be trying to justify unacceptable behaviour .

Is this another case of 'no regrets'?
