Evarist Bartolo is, as Michael Falzon (il-Perit), once said, many many moons ago, a “mangia santi, caga diavoli”.

Varist, a renowned admirer of Owen (the poet), calls everybody mignun – Soviet-style, if you know what I mean.

He’s a dangerous viper, and Joseph Muscat knows about it.

Michael Falzon (PN) once described Evarist Bartolo as “mangia santi e cacca diavoli”.

In reply to Frank. 'resentful spite', you bet! If you want to know more, look up old copies of his Maria l-Maws column in L-Orizzont/KullHadd from the 1990s.

In reply to Frank. No I did not, as I was away from the island. Perhaps I could find it online and have a look.

In reply to Frank. Evarist would have been one of those who called them 'i compagni che sbagliano' in their articles.

In reply to Life of Brian. He is too much in love with himself to do a Jan Palach.

In reply to Frank. JPO reminds me a lot of Evarist Bartolo. The way they react when cornered in a debate is very similar. [Daphne - Franco Debono reacts in exactly the same way. They become vicious and lash out. ]
