Funny how Cyrus didn't take to that podium to give the guests his views on sodomy
The Labour Party makes me laugh, but it also makes me desperate when I remember that – thanks to the insanity of the situation in which we live – this ship of fools is going to be running the country in 18 months.
I mean, look at this for instance: Labour makes a special case of people just because they are Muslim, invites them to a special party to show it embraces diversity (by segregating Muslims at special parties) and asks a few Labour politicians to go along and help entertain the guests, because the party leader has forgotten he’s the host and instead is ‘in attendance’.
And one of those politicians is Cyrus Engerer.
Yes, that’s right – Cyrus Engerer. This would be considered an insult by any decent guest, because of the behaviour for which he faces prosecution, but by Muslims?
They would have felt – if they knew who he is, that is – the way I feel when I turn up at some shindig and find Noel Arrigo guffawing fin-nofs surrounded by sycophants.
Honestly.
Here he is, on Facebook this morning, making an ass of himself for a change:
Cyrus Engerer
A big well done to Partit Laburista for organising the first Iftar celebration together with the Maltese Muslim community. A celebration which saw speeches by Mario Farrugia-Borg, Imam Mohammad El Sadi and Dr. Joseph Muscat who reiterated that Partit Laburista is a secular party, open to all those who share the party’s principles irrespective of their creed, race, gender or sexual orientation.

Cyrus was the token gay at that celebration of embracing diversity.
The Labour Party wanted to save on the number of pax to cut down the catering bill and reduce the ‘pis’ on the Count of Monte Kristo, so they called Central Casting and asked for a black one-legged Jewish lesbian to tick lots of boxes, but they were all out on hire.
So they made do with Cyrus, because all the others are gelling their hair in the Super One closet.
This Mario Farrugia-Borg….

Excuse the drawn-out ‘Labour party lawyer’ question, but:
Is the “Edgar Bonnici Cachia,” one of the two Maltese men responsible for the attempted assassination of Abdul Hamid Bakkush on November 16, 1984, the same “Edgar Bonnici Cachia” who was a candidate for the Malta Labour Party on the first district in the 1981 election?

[Daphne – Yes. Thank you for bringing that up again. If you look through the archived posts for February and March, you’ll find quite a bit about all these stories.]
As for the attempted assassination itself, the Egyptians intercepted the four man team and organised a mock-up assassination photo-shoot.
“I 4 killer fanno le previste telefonate a Tripoli e a Malta per avvertire che l’operazione è stata compiuta e spediscono a chi di dovere una foto del corpo di Bakkush in mezzo a un lago di sangue (di bue).” – L’Espresso, issues 26-29, 1987.
“The four assassins make the planned phone calls to Tripoli and Malta to announce that the operation was completed, and to send a photo of Bakkush’s body in a pool of (ox) blood to their handler.”
Quoting from NEWSWEEK:
Bank clerks paid out the money – said to have been telexed from Rome via a Maltese bank and American Express – in piles of cash that Shiner’s escort promptly confiscated. “You people never keep your word,” he later shouted at officials as a NEWSWEEK photographer entered Cairo’s interior ministry. “I was tricked into coming to this country by Egyptian security.”
(Is this ‘Shiner’ a Maltese in disguise? His attitude to blood money is very Maltese. The other two assassins were a ‘Romeo Nicholas Schembri’ and an ‘Anthony Gill’)
[Daphne – Shiner/Cini – Chakambari/Schembri]
Abdul Hamid Bakkush himself had no doubt on the close ties between the Malta Labour Party and the Gheddafi regime:
«Gli aerei militari libici hanno sempre potuto rifornirsi all’aeroporto di Malta», assicura Bakkush, «tanto che facevano li anche delle esercitazioni». «Il governo laburista maltese, caduto da poche settimane, era così legato a Gheddafi, che nelle scuole dell’arci-
(Oggi: settimanale di politica, attualità e cultura, Volume 43. 1987)
“Libyan military aircraft were always able to refuel at Malta’s airport,” declared Bakkush, “they even used the place for training.” “The Maltese Labour government, recently voted out of office, was so tied to Gheddafi that in the archipelago’s schools –
The snippet view from Oggi (mercifully) stops there, but one can surmise that Bakkush was probably referring to the teaching of Arabic in Malta at the time. Unless, of course, he was referring to a mysterious spate of suicides at a certain Libyan school in Malta.
Does Cyrus Engerer know the Muslim view of homosexuality?
Why is the Labour Party always referred to as the “Partit Laburista” even when English is used?
[Daphne – Because they’re ridiculous. Before that the official name was ‘Malta Labour Party’, and they used the name in English even when speaking Maltese: il-Malta Labour Party.]
Funny how I’m seeing the world upside down: a Muslim priest (Imam Mario Farrugia Borg) is also a candidate for the political party which wants to separate the Church (read religion) from politics.
Ship of fools indeed!
They’re going after a musician as well.
They had the cheek to admit that even though he’s not a political animal, his popularity could earn them votes.
What next? Cicciolina?
Cyrus, ghajjejt niggieled ghal-kawza tieghek.
Tmur ticcelebra mal-Musulmani. Jafu int x’int?
Taf li l-Imam ta’ Malta huwa favur il-ligijiet tax-Xarija?
Taf li f’pajjizhom illegali tkun kif int?
U tmur ticcelebra maghhom?
Ara vera d-dinja waslet f’l-ahhar ta!
Ghajjejt!
I would just take issue with the idea that this was a “segregated” party. I’m sure any Catholic (or otherwise) Maltese people who wanted to attend the Iftar celebration would have been more than welcome, just as any Muslims wishing to partake in their annual Christmas celebrations would also be welcome.
