[Daphne – You and Swieqiman are using the same computer or network. So you’re either sharing an office and have remarkably similar use of language and communication style, or you’ve got a doppelganger (look it up) hiding under your bed where all those reds should be.]

Qed nisthajlek xi Marie Antoinette titkellem mar-ragel meta qalilha li l-protesti kienu ghax ma kellhomx hobz u wegbitu “Jieklu l-pasti!”

Int jekk trid turi is-solidarjeta ma’ min hu fil-bzonn u trid tassew tghinu, trid taghmel zewg affarijiet: tghid lil min per ezempju hi kuntenta tgerger ghax hi single mother u ghandha tifel ghandu ezamijiet u jmur l-iskola, biex tmur l-Awtorita tat-Trasport biex tapplika ghal ghajnuna u tmur id-dipartiment ta’ l-edukazzjoni biex tapplika ghat-tnaqqis tal-hlas ghal-ezamijiet.

U flok tmur il-ferries tixrob il-kafe mur aghti daqqa t’id lis-sorijiet ta’ Mother Theresa jew ta’ l-Ursolini.

Sthajjiltek ukoll dak is-sinjur li thassar lil-bidwi jghid “Ajma” ma kull daqqa ta’ maghzqa u offrielu biex ikompli jaghzaq u l-“Ajma” jaghjathielu hu.

Champagne Socialist per eccellenza – jitla’ l-Labour u l-ghajta ta’ dawk il vera fil-bzonn:”MIN M”GHANDUX, JGHIX MA’ MIN GHANDU” terga tibda tidwi f’widnejn il-Maltin.

[Daphne – A word of advice, as you seem to be a bit dull. If you’re going to use different nicks in an attempt at persuading me that you’re two different people (sixfooter. Swieqiman), use a different computer/network and change your style.]

So I was right……

By the way, most of the people I spoke to (many strongly against divorce) felt that Camilleri was a big disappointment – evasive and short of logical arguments.

[Daphne – No, you were not right. I repeat: I do not confuse my opinion with public opinion. I distinguish between the two. You don’t. Andre Camilleri was not a disappointment. He was excellent. I say that not as somebody who agrees with him, but as a professional assessment. More of my professional opinion (worth more, I’ll have you know, than talking to your friends): the Cordinas are excellent ambassadors for their cause: young, fresh, obviously in love, good, nice people (that’s how they came across). But the other couple – my God. If two people could stand for everything that the pro-divorce movement is up against, it was them. They stood for everything people despise and fear about divorce. Very bad PR for the divorce lobby. I trust you noticed the SMS vote.]

All is welcome , providing the y’re not as pathetic as Troy. See you guys at the Ferries

[Daphne – No wonder Sliema is full of racanc nowadays. When the chavs move in, everyone else moves out.]

This is how I see it:

John Dalli asked for the post of European Commissioner and Gonzi gave it to him, maybe to bury the hatchet. John said on TV that he asked for the post and we all recall how elated he was when he was nominated and accepted as commissioner instead of Louis Galea, may I add.

Now, the green monster has taken over, and he’s trying to show us that he’s some kind of victim, and hinting that his brother is in jail (like him) because of John’s involvement in the leadership race.

I saw Loius Galea grab the bull by the horns when he showed Josie Muscat and his Front Freedom Fighters to be a ‘party within a party’. Josie was kicked out of the party.

For the electorate, the party comes first not the candidate. We all vote for the party first and foremost and then pick the candidates, not the other way round, and that’s whatever party we’re voting for.

Look at Josie Muscat, who is a very good (though extremist) politician and better than many we have in parliament. The most he can hope for now in politics is a seat on a local council.

The same thing happened when Cettina Darmenia Brincat said in parliament that she would vote against a divorce bill. She was not toeing the party line and Charles Mangion got her votes.

Paul Carachi wanted to have a seat in the middle of the house, but when the election came, he was kicked out by the MLP voters unceremoniously.

Didn’t we have valid candidates in the run-up for the EU? But we still had Joseph Cuschieri ‘elected’ because he sacrificed his seat for Joseph (the new unelected party Leader) and nothing else.

We still waste our votes to elect David Casa and John Attard Montalto because they are perceived as good candidates who don’t rock the boat.

Alfred Sant and Eddie Fenech Adami got their first seats through a casual election. And yet both went on to lead their parties.

John Dalli’s criticism that “this is not the PN we (Nerik Mizzi, hej!) built”, shows that his ambition is to become prime minister of Malta. He wants to make the PN his, because he thinks he’s some founding member and he’s trying to tell us that he was kicked upstairs when we all know that it was expressly his wish.

The PN will let him and the other candidates contest the next general election. They will give him enough rope to hang himself. Or maybe do like Louis did to Josie Muscat, and fall on him like a tonne of bricks.

Would anyone on this blog like to go out for a coffee l-ferries, with a six-foot-tall proud man? Because Troy has better things to do.
