This George Vella?

Damn, I missed the lecture on democracy by the champion of moderates and democracy, George Vella.

Kemm tbaqbaq, Saviour! At one point not even Miriam Dalli could control him. But the melodrama came when he went all out to defend John Dalli. We have a new martyr – he has been exiled.

Even Godrey Grima quipped ‘Mank jeziljani lili.’ Maybe I am stupid but if Dalli was such a pain in the neck for Gonzi, he should not have accepted to go and would have been more of a pain. It is being depicted as if he is making a huge sacrifice by leaving. Same goes for Louis Galea,

Godrey Grima was very, very careful what to say about you. He only said that you are ‘abbracciata mal-Partit Nazzjonalista’. You must be envied.

Hearing the discussion one would think that you are running the country and not Gonzi. Congratulations because they have given you so much credit. They even want Gonzi to condemn your writing.

I bet that the Press Club would defend you on that one occasion. And they are not making a distinction (on purpose because they are not stupid) between the style of writing on a newspaper and that of a blog.

Shame on Godfrey Grima who chuckled all the time with George Vella, who tried hard to lecture us on democracy (not with his party’s credentials). He even felt the need to say ‘Ma irridx nidher hawn li qed niddefendi lil Labour Party’.

Forgive us for thinking so, Godrey. You looked so comfortable on TX.

Pat: Whilst I agree that insults have no place in a society which is supposedly civilised, I would like to point out that the poster may not necessary be a PL supporter given that, indeed, Daphne’s posts have hit sore spots transversally across party lines.

[Daphne – Yes, he is. See his latest.]

I would also like to point out that there is a general impression that free speech – like all rights – are limitless when, in fact, there are limits to free speech as much as there duties and obligations in the exercising of this and any other right,

Tistahba min xiex? Minn min? Mela hawn Malta mhux kulhadd jista juri l-opinjoni tieghu jew? Ahjar tara kif titkellem ta, ghax ittellef hafna voti bil-kumment tieghek ghax kien hawn zmien li kien ikollna nistahbew jekk nuru l opinjoni taghna jew nifthu halqna.

Jew ghadek zghir int u ma tafx jew ma tiftakarx? Jekk hu hekk, nissuggerilek taghlaq halqek ghax iktar hsara milli gid qed taghmillu lil Labour. Isma minnhi ghax il-poplu in generali jibza mid-dittatorjat.

[Daphne – Another friend of Robert’s, I see. Well, he’s certainly mixing with the in crowd.]
