Comments on: Hold yourself to your own standards, Franco, and resign https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2011/11/hold-yourself-to-your-own-standards-franco-and-resign/ Daphne Caruana Galizia is a journalist working in Malta.

Why is nobody mentioning this?

For all his faults, I back Dr Debono for upholding the principle of accountability. U kif!

I’ve stated many many times that the PN’s downfall will eventually be its inability to listen to the taxpayers it has so far studiously ignored, so as to continue throwing their money at every problem this country faces. After 25 years of PN government, there is still rampant tax evasion, 30’000 jobsworths directly employed by the government (proportionally, must be the free world’s highest) and another 10’000 in quangos.

Yes, we’re free, yes, we’re in the EU, but boy has it cost!

They have known for ages that Franco spends a lot of time with Jose’ Herrera. Min jaghmilha maz-zopp, gheluq is-sena bhalu jsir.

Herrera must have scored points with Muscat, by promising and delivering him damage to the enemy camp and damage to his former competitor at school.

That’s what you get from bad company, Franco.

Maybe Carmel is thinking in the same terms as the Labour women. It takes all sorts.

“he knows he is not bad-looking”

Truly, it takes all sorts…

About the toothpaste: when a wife makes a scene about toothpaste, it’s not because you leave the top off the toothpaste tube – it’s because you have done it a thousand times already and have done it again, knowing how much it irritates her.

[Daphne – Funny that it’s only Laburisti who are telling him to keep it up, whether it’s women hoping he’ll keep it up them, or people like you, who hope that this shoddy fool will be Labour’s Trojan horse.]

You’ve expressed exactly what I was thinking while listening in live during the debate in parliament, and then some.

I’ve never heard such a cry for attention. Arani ma, everyone listen to ME! Do what I say! DO WHAT I SAY PRIM MINISTRU!

Yelling, directly at Dr. Gonzi, criticising the Prime Minister, Dr. Debono’s direct boss, and leader of Dr. Debono’s party, (supposedly his party) there in parliament in the face of ‘the enemy’ (yeah right).

Go, Dr. Debono, and go now. You’re done here.

First things first, Dr Debono. First go and grow up in the real world and learn how to fend for yourself and assume the responsibility of a a family of your own .

THEN aspire to tell us how to do things.

You are a “mammone”, through and through.
