Can’t he retain some dignity? What a clown, honestly.

Thanks for your valid points which I should of course consider favourably.

If, as you say, this is a lost cause (yesterday’s MT poll shows a drop of 17 points in the Yes vote since Joseph/Jeffrey managed to get their resolution through parliament to hold the referendum) then one should also question Muscat’s and Pullicino-Orlando’s strategy to throw a vote on a civil right to a deeply conservative electorate.

What kind of strategy was it to get thousands of women voters who hold a ‘lanżita daqsiex’ shouting ‘mela ma nħallihx jerġa’ jiżżewweġ!’ all the way to a No vote on the 28th?

The advertising money could be better spent on state broadcasting with laws prohibiting government from interfering.

The US congress is defunding PBS(US) because nationalists cannot control its agenda. This leaves the public access only to the crappy corporate controlled alternatives that even Clinton is riling against. The interests of the middle and lower classes are never properly served when state and corporations control what people should think. When they can frame each issue to serve the interest of the few. Look what happens in Italy…

While the introduction of divorce is completely irrelevant to me, I shall vote against primarily for one reason. So that the JPO’s and the rest of the pro-divorce movement can shove their cheap crusade. We have much more sinister things to worry about instead of trying to alineate the elctorate with some decoy issue!!

Please don’t abstain from voting because of Jeffrey. I too can’t stand the guy. He’s arrogant, pretentious and stupid. He misjudged the situation horribly by keeping himself as the poster boy for the yes campaign. He apparently thinks he’s popular, but in reality both sides don’t like him. And he’s going to cost many votes.

But please realise that this is not about him. This is about a civil right. Put your antipathy towards him to one side, and please vote yes for the people who need it. Recent surveys are showing that it’s probably a lost cause, so every vote is needed.

This is not the time to teach this prat a lesson. He’ll get that at the next general election. If however the no vote does win, it will be some consolation watching him, humiliated, on tv. I’ll at least enjoy that.

Did anybody NOT see this kind of nonsense coming?

Next day they had the audacity to complain that advertising funds were not being equally assigned to both TV stations. I tell you one thing, wicchom u sormhom xorta.

U ahna ic-cwiec that we didn’t tell them to stuff it. I can’t believe some friends of mine…”u ejja xi darba rridu nippruvawhom !!”.

Jesus, the thought of it alone makes me shiver.

You can see Jeffrey angrily entering into argument with Nazzjon’s journalist (not done!) spewing his typical paranoia (can’t he see that this issue is about divorce, not about him? or is it truly in fact all about him?)

Does Jeffrey really expect Nazzjon to publish his adverts as if the PN paper were a whore, taking money for doing what it otherwise wouldn’t do?

Nazzjon, if my memory doesn’t fail me, was the paper that sent Jeffrey as its ‘journalist’ in one of the last general election’s TV political broadcasts so that Jeffrey could put some kind of veneer on what he did at Mistra.

But now he attacks the newspaper that built him up to a level that gained him two seats in Parliament from hardcore PN voters even though in one fell swoop he put off thousands of middle-of-the-road voters with his Mistra affair and almost lost the election for the PN.

I am in favour of divorce but Jeffrey really makes me want to abstain.
