I don’t think Daphne ever said anything bad about Gozo, rather it was the loony tune who did so.

Sick people should not be humiliated and be a source of amusement. Actually its a disservice to the viewers.

We’re well educated like everyone else even if we most of us don’t carry double-barreled names. It is denigrating to read such words in this day and age.

[Moderator – I think that Daphne was pointing out that it’s Norman who thinks that Gozo ‘is a land of peasants and sheep’, which is why the island is not included in his grand plans.]

And what was there to laugh about when Norman said to Lou that he would take the blonde Russians while Lou could keep the Africans – a racist jibe of the worst kind while at the same being insulting to women using commodity terminology. He should have been confronted on such remarks rather than laughed at. The tv programme resembled a school ground with twelve year old boys laughing immaturely at sexist jokes told by the loser who craves to be accepted by the lads. If he really had to be invited as a guest speaker he should have been questioned more thoroughly – questions on his termination of employment with BoV or on his views on the terrorist attacks on people in Malta whose cars and homes were torched come to mind. And Emmy Bezzina if you champion freedom of speech so much why did you ask Norman permission to speak? And Emmy Bezzina isn’t it slightly, just slightly incongruous for you to stand side by side with a man who wants to shoot at people on boats, while at the same time being an ambassador for peace?

By the way, does anybody know his mother’s maiden surname please?

He should simply be ignored. Lou Bondi must have really run out of ideas to get this crank on his show!
