What else? Swings and roundabouts so that Franco Debono and Jose Herrera can let off steam and calm down after their tantrums.

Hopefully such hate-filled remarks will shake “disgruntled” PN supporters and make them realise what would happen if Labour is returned to power.

I sometimes do it on the Maltatoday website – half a dozen well-chosen words bring a flood of illiterate viciousness and verbal violence. It’s good to see what the PL still stands for.

It’s also good to see what sort of clientele Roger “Dainty” Degiorgio caters for.

That’s what I said – it’s the only option he has.

La Redoute, that third option is really the only one he has in his own interest too, if he wishes to walk down Republic Street with his head held high. And it is the only way he can deliver the message to his eternal adversary Joseph Muscat that the latter has been promoted beyond his capabilities too fast.

The premise is that Franco Debono “hates” Joseph Muscat and that Joseph Muscat is provoking Franco Debono to “act without thinking” (funny, that).

[Daphne – Oh, I see. Well, in that case I can reply with confidence that it’s not because I ‘have a nose for these things’. That’s not the sort of information you can sense or deduce. You need facts. And the fact is that the situation we are seeing out in public now has been going on in ‘private’ since June 2008, with various key people being subjected to a barrage of fixated telephone calls and text messages. The complaints always go back to his school reports, his school marks and the fact that Joseph Muscat is party leader and he is ‘nothing’, even though he got better marks at school. Yes, he hates him. He cannot even bring himself to discuss him, beyond saying that he got worse marks at school.]

He has a third option – the only one, really – to vote against the motion.

It’s the only option that is in his interest and in the country’s, the government’s and the party’s interest too.

Either way for me, regardless of who signed it – it’s a Labour motion, full stop.

Mind you, maybe he just couldn’t be arsed to turn up and sign the thing, so he just sent good ol’Swiss Toni!

It’s going to be a very interesting six days.

As I see it, Franco has two options.

1. Abstain, and still be in the limelight for the next 13 months (something that he really enjoys).

2. Bring down the government by voting for the motion, bow out of the scene and never walk with his head high for the rest of his life.

The choice is his. Either way, Malta will survive.

Franco Debono made our parliament a school playground, first with playground quarreling, then with the opposition demanding to go out on break and eat their sandwiches at noon.

And now Joseph has called them in for detention… on Saturday.

What else? Franco gets his mobile confiscated because it rings in class?

Please make me stop.
