That surely is uncalled for torture. Who is responsible to have subjected you to hear FD&#039;s entire speech against your will?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Debono is trying to justify the unjustifiable.  In this legislature we had a government which achieved excellent results, in spite of the shortcomings.

Debono latched on to whatever criticism was made in past years, spiced up with his own and tried to depict it as sufficient justification to rebel against the PM.  

It is all a smokescreen.  The fact is he rebelled because he was not made minister.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In the first part of his speech Franco was convincing. His issues were good but not important even though everybody agrees.

The things he’s proposing need to be agreed by a two-thirds majority in parliament. We can’t afford to discuss these things while there is all this turmoil around us. 

Franco Debono used parliamentary immunity to attack Dr Hermann Schiavone. He’s beating about the bush attacking this genuine gentleman from his privileged parliamentary seat.

As a lawyer he knows very well what he needs to do to protect his integrity: Dr Franco Debono should drag Schiavone to court and truth will come out. The fact that a lawyer of his calibre is avoiding the law courts says a lot. 

Is-sewwa jirbah zgur, no Franco?

How about regulating the abuse of parliamentary immunity, Franco?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Cassette tapes during court proceedings - isn&#039;t that one of the reasons for throwing his many wobblies?

Maybe someone should introduce him to sub-atomic quantum communications and the universal memory bank.

Or just put him inside the total perspective vortex so he can see his own importance in relation to the universe across all time.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve buried myself in a Ruth Rendell psychological thriller but fact is that I can&#039;t really immerse myself with Franco Debono ranting in the background.  

But have you understood exactly what he&#039;s about? I mean, is it the Courts, the Small Claims Tribunal, or the Constitution, the Electoral law? Even his own parents got a mention in this litany of complaints.

&quot;Issa saru d-disgha .. nitolbok biex tkompli&quot; - I was rather hoping my evening would be spared this litany but apparently not even the normal adjournment time will spare me.]]></description>
