Il-henchman ta' Lorry Sant ihoss rasu: jikteb it-Tao ta' Ronnie
Some people become born-again Christians. Others turn to Facebook.
The late, unlamented Lorry Sant’s hatchetman has taken to posting gems of Hallmark philosophy on his Facebook page every day.
Here are some examples, but bring out the sick-bag before you read them.
Good Morning – Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.
Ronnie Pellegrini Good Morning – I will speak ill of no man, and speak all the good I know of everybody.
Ronnie Pellegrini Good Morning to EVERYBODY – If you judge people, you have no time to LOVE them.
Ronnie Pellegrini Good Morning – Friendship with oneself is all important because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
Ronnie Pellegrini Good Morning – Anybody can sympathise with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathise with a friend’s success.
Ronnie Pellegrini Good Morning – A new friendship is like an unripened fruit – it may become either an orange or a lemon.

Ronnie Pellegrini Good Morning – Loving is not just looking at each other, it’s looking in the same direction
Ronnie Pellegrini Good Morning and Happy Valentine’s Day to All of you – Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end.
Ronnie Pellegrini Good morning – A bell is no bell until you ring it, a song is no song until you sing it, and love in your heart wasn’t put there to stay – Love isn’t love untill you give it away.
Ronnie Pellegrini Good Morning – Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
Ronnie Pellegrini Good Morning – A friend is a gift you give yourself.
Ronnie Pellegrini Good Morning – It’s the friends that you can call up that matter.

Ronnie Pellegrini Good Morning – No love, nof friendship, can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever.
Ronnie Pellegrini Good Morning – I have a hand, and you have another, put them together and we have each other.

Here’s another one for Ronnie ta’ Lorry:
“Friendship is a building contract you sign with laughter and break with tears… and one usually preceded by a a bomb threat or two in the good old days.”
Interesting statistic?

Women over 55…. that’s even worse than people over 40!
Women are people too, though I know what you mean.
Ronnie Pellegrini used to personify much that was deplorable in the MLP in his (and my) younger days, when the likes of him forced many disillusioned people to leave the party which had betrayed many of its democratic socialist credentials. But people mature…and change.
[Daphne – Where I come from, the word is that leopards don’t change their spots, once bitten, twice shy, minn jitwieled tond ma jmutx kwadru, and so forth. Would you buy a used car from that man?]
Actually, on reflection, I should not have written that Ronnie Pellegrini used to personify much that was deplorable about the MLP. It would have been more accurate and fairer to say that he was associated with certain deplorable and attitudes and behaviour.
I haven’t had occasion to speak with him for more than 30 years, so I don’t know what he really is up to these days.
[Daphne – What he’s up to? He seems to spend his time flirting with Robert Musumeci on Facebook and joining groups like LGBT Labour.]
Certainly, from a distance, it looks as if he has changed for the better. I sincerely hope so. He often struck me as a follower rather than a leader, but he attached himself to the wrong crowd and plunged headlong into whatever his cronies were doing without any reflection at all. He was never half as bad as many make him out to be.
[Daphne – Men with weak characters. They’re the WORST.]
Ronnie Pellegrini “Good Morning – Friends are the bacon bits in the salad bowl of life.”
And you, Ronnie, are the fly in the soup.
daphnie jien ir ronnie nafu min meta kien zghir imur l azzjoni katolika jew ahjar kif konna insejhula.” il lega” dak iz zmien kien tifel kwiet, imma meta tela il labour kibritlu rasu u hlief hsara li dak u lil l iehor ma ghamilx, nesa kemm kien jibbulja miskin, issa jaqaw ser jerga jilbes xi libsa ta xi nghaga.

“Quando non posso piu, torna al buon Gesu” Nahseb hekk gralu Ronnie. Pull the other one.
Those apes used to coerce my father into going to their “mass meetings” or else get beaten up. Xi hmieg.
This is the same Ronnie who gloated when employees were suspended after the famous Imnarja protest. Sick bag indeed.
I wonder how Ronnie Pellegrini fits in with a movement of moderate progressives.
Is he paid a salary by the Labour Party? His friend Jason Micallef says not.

I don’t think Joseph Muscat should be hanging around with somebody like him. The MLP will never gain an ounce of credibility with people like Ronnie Pellegrini still hanging around and apparently calling the shots to an extent that the leader is driven by this same person to make amends with the former secretary general.
Hanzir taqtaghlu denbu….
Daphne, there must be two Ronnies. Saviour Balzan’s words, MaltaToday, 6 July 2008:
“The two Ronnies
…At the same time, Jason Micallef must really be the closest to JPO when it comes to being a complete reject.
Still campaigning actively with delegates for the future post of secretary general, he remains at loggerheads with present and past senior Labour figures; and though Jason will be credited for taking Alfred Sant to new heights, he will also be accused of taking Labour to new lows.
That, I guess, is the problem when you have a secretary general who lacks the political depth and appreciation for history in a party as big and complex as the Labour party.
The last time I talked to Jason he told me that the story that we carried about Ronnie Pellegrini was wrong.
I do not think so. A problem with details, perhaps, but not wrong.
But then, if anyone has any doubts they should read through the news story on Ronnie.
Unlike Jason I remember Ronnie in years gone by. When Jason was hardly a teenager, Ronnie Pellegrini was in his prime, a sidekick to one of Labour’s most unforgettable nightmares. He was there when Lorry bulldozed his way through everything and always had his way.
And Ronnie was not only his lieutenant with direct access to many of Lorry’s excesses; but probably quite aware of how, when and how many of those excesses where committed.
That he continued to survive politically, and more importantly, failed to get hammered by the media when he took the role of assistant to Jason Micallef, beats me.
Now Jason has said that Mr Pellegrini, who has an office at Mile End large enough to dance the waltz; who is heard screaming and phoning from his room; who signs circulars on Jason’s behalf; who accompanied Alfred Sant, Jason Micallef and Stefan Zrinzo Azzopardi everywhere, is not an employee.
Well, that may be the case. Which means there are two Ronnies, and we should really all thank the GWU for looking the other way while one of its paid up employees spends all his friggin’ time at Mile End.”
