Franco’s cock ate his university transcript. So he wasn’t a top student, after all. Just a top pupil.
Hey, leave some for me! There's precious little of it as there is.
After showing off his Form II records: Franco Debono fails to produce University academic records
by Francesca Vella
The Malta Independent, yesterday
Nationalist backbencher Franco Debono, who has declared he will no longer support the current government and that he will support anyone but Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi, admitted yesterday that he didn’t attend many University lectures because he didn’t really like the University system, but insisted that he never failed any exams.
Over this past weekend, many mocked Dr Debono for having presented his St Aloysius College Form 2 result to the national television station on Friday, which he had justified by saying it was to show that he always took matters seriously.
Yesterday, when asked about his performance at University and whether he had failed any exams, the criminal lawyer said he had not. However, when asked whether he could produce his University transcript (academic record), he said he didn’t know where it was.
“The Form 2 result is one of the few that are still at hand,” he said. As for his attendance of lectures, he said: “No, I didn’t attend many lectures, as did many other students. I didn’t really like the University system. I did very well in my first year, when we covered topics that I was interested in, such as constitutional and criminal law. But I wasn’t particularly interested in commercial law, for instance.
“The law course should be designed in a different way. In the first three years of the course students should focus on general aspects of the law, while the last three years should be aimed at giving students the opportunity to specialise.”
Dr Debono also mentioned his ‘O’ and ‘A’ level results, saying that he was always a top student, and because he did his ‘A’ levels in the first year of sixth form, he said he didn’t need to do the second year.
Going on to talk about the government’s current situation, he said he has long been making sacrifices and suffering due to a lack of democracy.

Poor Franco, a lifetime of suffering for his countrymen.
Now he’s putting up a final stand for democracy by toppling the government.
He would have been fast asleep when in 1981 we were being sacked by Labour henchmen for daring to stay away from work for a day in protest for a rigged election.
The University Rector and the Dean of the Faculty of Laws must feel relieved that Franco Debono didn’t insist they resign and let him run the faculty and university. Because, you know, he’s full of ideas and energy and has many “attributes”.
Don’t count your chickens (I nearly said ‘cocks’) too soon.
After failing to be appointed minister, the law department’s next:

“The law course should be designed in a different way. In the first three years of the course students should focus on general aspects of the law, while the last three years should be aimed at giving students the opportunity to specialise.”
He can easily get a copy of his transcript from the University. It’s very easy to do so and it would only set him back 25 euro.
I’m still disgusted by his attitude. Even as a student he thought he could not attend lectures for the simple reason that he “disagreed with the system.”
What an arrogant twat.
So the mighty Franco has something to say about the university system too. Isn’t this the same system that produced (and I quote) ‘one of the best criminal lawyers the Maltese islands have ever seen’? I cannot help but wonder – is he the next Salvatur?
Can somebody get a copy of his University transcripts? I’m so curious.
I think he should put paid to the story that he was seen copying while at university, and to the other story that he failed and resat several of his law exams.
I don’t imagine he failed his theology exams – he did score 100% in his form IIC mid yearly exams, after all.
He could have very well got 100% in Form IIc but if I am not mistaken, he still cannot spell theology as it appears to have been spelled ‘teology’ on his CV.
He can reorder the transcript. It’s very easy.

aw hadra inti ssejjah lilek innifsek gurnalista!!? purcinella
Gordon, int iz-ziju ta’ Franco jaqaw?
I think that Franco Debono does not have the interest of the PN at heart much less the interest of the country.
The problems he is citing have almost all been seen to.
Franco Debono wasn’t a top pupil. He was a mediocre one.
“I wasn’t particularly interested in commercial law, for instance.”
Sounds like he flunked his commercial law exams, for instance.
With Franco the Maltese law scene has a latter-day Adrian Dingli.
The only slight difference is that Dingli wrote impeccably in Italian, English, French, German and Latin.
Besides he was fluent in all these five languages plus Maltese.
Don’t put him between a cock and a hard place miskin
Wow I wonder he didn’t try to slide into the Rector’s chair too. He’s possibly also thinking he deserves to be the next Chief Justice. Must say, the cardinal-in-waiting had a close shave cause if Franco ever got a whiff of a Maltese cardinal being elected, he’d have worn the collar and gone for it.
After all he’s God’s gift to everyone, why not the Church itself?
Have you noticed, for example, Franco, that hardly anyone is contesting your ideas? Were you really that smart you could have persuaded gently not like a tornado stepping on everybody. Nobody will forgive the arrogant way you treated the Prime Minister.
If you carry on I can assure you the Maltese won’t remember you only for your school report. You’ll be very famous for a very long time. Is that the legacy you want to leave your family?
Can I honestly ask you to bow out graciously – I have no doubt you will recoup a little of the dignity and respect you have lost. If being backed by Laburisti is, however, satisfying, then do go on.
But don’t try to kid anyone that you have any Nationalist sympathisers – except for Musumeci, obviously.
Kemm saru jhobbuh il-Laburisti f’daqqa wahda. Sar l-idolu taghhom.
Franco tiela u Franco niezel.
Pero nghidu l-verita’….il-PN irid jitnaddaf minn certi nies bhal JPO, Musumeci, issa dan Franco l-Baggio.
Bhal Baggio se jigrilek siehbi – jghaddu s-snin u se tibqa mfakkar ghax fallejt il-penalty tal-ahhar.
Isma minni, ftakar x’tghallimt fir-religjon meta kont gibt 100. Tezisti virtu’ li tissejjah UMILTA’.
Bhalissa kulhadd jitkellem dwarek, illejla u ghada wkoll, izda ghad igerrbu s-snin u jiddispjacik.
Tibzax tmur lura fi-hdan min welldek bhala politiku, fi hdan min tak isem, fi hdan min ghaqqad idu ma tieghek. La twarrabx l-gheruq tieghek, ghax mal-ewwel buffura rih ittir il-boghod.
Isma minn ommok u la tkunx rasek iebsa aktar.
Baggio, think twice.
