She’s well under way to join Joseph (Cuschieri).

Daphne, what I really admire in you is the way you always find a valid way out all the time I try to corner you.

I would hate to have you as my opponent in a game of chess.

Hoping that you will not take Mr. Sammut’s suggestion of giving up your blog and taking up a hobby.

[Daphne – I don’t play chess or any other game, Silvio. And my blog is a hobby. It’s really cut into my reading and gardening time.]

Lesbro?

Daphne, if the Labour Party stole JPO’s Mistra contract, it was wrong, but there is quite a difference between the two.

All deeds in connection with transfer of lands, etc. have to be deposited at the Public Registry,so eventually the Mistra deed could have been procured from this office legally.

[Daphne – It wasn’t that kind of contract, Silvio. It was a private agreement.]

I am not saying that the contents of the emails are not of public interest. What I said was that the private life of Sabrina could have been kept out of it.

[Daphne – Silvio, that’s because you’re ever so slightly homophobic as earlier comments in a separate debate have indicated, and you imagine that gay people are ashamed of being gay. I would say that Sabrina Agius is probably grateful that this fact has entered the equation through a third party, because she can hardly issue a statement saying ‘Look, I’m not having an affair with him because I’m gay.’ ]

I have my doubts whether this was revealed as a ‘saving factor’.

[Daphne – Believe me, it was. It would have been dishonest of me to allow people to carry on suggesting they were literally as well as figuratively in bed together when I knew for a fact that it couldn’t be possible. There are enough of a true and solid basis for criticism of Joseph Muscat. We don’t have to spread rumours as well.]

If what they did deserves condemnation, so be it, but to ask us to believe that someone was trying not to break Michelle’s heart, come on.

Why should we drag Sabrina’s sexual orientation into this?

I see it as nothing less than character assassination, and a subtle way of diverting atention from the real issue.

Stealing anything, is wrong whether one is green, yellow or red.

[Daphne – Silvio, Sabrina Agius’s sexual orientation is a crucial piece of information in a discussion about an inappropriate relationship conducted by means of flirtatious emails between the future prime minister and a journalist. It is actually a ‘saving factor’ for both of them. Secondly, there is public interest content in those emails. This is what the Whistleblower Act is all about. With your reasoning, the Labour Party should never have ‘stolen’ Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando’s Mistra contract and made it public, and we should all have been kept in the dark about it, prime minister included. I’m sure you wouldn’t agree with that.]

It’s not the first time he engaged with women to offset himself against the party’s male mindset.

He married Michelle, thanked Marlene, hired Marisa, visited Consuelo,and claimed Deborah.

It’s the rural upbringing as an only child which gives him access to maternal instincts. Fundamentally ‘mammone’ in his approach, uneasy with the male persona he believes he should emulate.

Sabrina, like Julia and Miriam, are his peers outside the party.

The point I would like to make here is that Joseph’s line of attack about hacking and spying by the government is now severely weakened.

This was a theft, a robbery – that’s what he told us last night.

When Cyrus Engerer lifted private photos showing private parts of private persons from a private computer in a private home, that was fine with Joseph. So fine that he invited Engerer into the skip.

So the focus should now go back to the content.

Fingers crossed. We might at last get a glimpsE of those top secret PL policies.

Reno Calleja is posting long epistles on timesofmalta.com’s board. I thought they had limit on number of words per comment?

He said that he could go on and on with his arguments in support of Joseph; even the Titanic did that and hit an iceberg.

He is going round in circles, tying himself up in knots and contradicting himself.

Perhaps he has not heard Joseph Muscat drawing a very fine Jesuitical line between “leaked” and “stolen” emails: if the PL can spin them to its political advantage, they are” leaked” but if the proverbial brown stuff hits the fan to the PL’s disadvantage, they are “stolen”.
