L-attakki personali fuq Franco Debono jieqfu il-mument li Debono jieqaf jattakka lill Prim Ministru.

S’intendi, il-Laburisti ma tantx jemmnu f’attakki personali bhal, per ezempju jbiddlu t-titlu ta ‘Salvatur’ f’dak ta ‘Traditur’ u jcahhduh milli jzur il-‘headquarters’ taghhom ghal 14 sena!

U jekk joghgbok tirreferijx ghal ‘huti Nazzjonalisti’ ghaliex hutek ‘Nazzjonalisti’ jinsabu maghqudin u kontra il-vavati ta Franco Debono u kieku kellu johrog jikkontesta l-elezzjoni se jiddobba lezzjoni li lanqas l-iskola ta San Alwigi qatt ma taghtu.

Issa drajna sew dawl li jiffermaw ‘ex-NP’ ghax nafu li hafna Laburisti jridu jaghttu x-xemx bl-gharbiel.

He’ll never do that. There is Joseph Muscat in the PL, and as a party leader to boot. I don’t think Franco will accept JM’s leadership just as much as he won’t accept Gonzi’s.

That’s going to change for the coming election.

I need to have a good chat with every candidate while watching out for:
mummy pictures on desks
showing off secondary school reports
any attendance at St. Aloysius College in the late 80s, when there appears to have been a production-line problem
wild gesticulations
and hair spray.

Just to be clear…I’m not agreeing with Fr Joe Borg. I only wished to bring it to your attention.

… And they’ve listed Nakita as studying at the LSE.

Read the last part. I think he’s referring to you.

[Daphne – Joe Borg and I agree on many things but part company on many others, one of which is what constitutes a ‘personal attack’ or even more, a ‘despicable personal attack’. I don’t remember him ever writing anything similar when members of my own family were subjected to truly despicable personal attacks, the sort derived from lies and slander. To say that Franco Debono’s mother has been a major negative influence in his life is not a personal attack, but a statement of fact made clear by the manner in which he is psychologically fixed at Form II. To say that it is not normal for a man of almost 40 to date the same woman for several years and drop her off at her own home every night while returning to sleep with his parents in his childhood home is also not a personal attack. It is an opinion based on fact, about a very public figure, and directly relevant in discussions about his character. Nobody, me included, has discussed his girlfriend or even his mother in a personal capacity or in their own right. We do not even know what his girlfriend is called or what she looks like: two facts which have never been made public. His mother, on the other hand, made herself public by appearing with her son on Xarabank to discuss his many fascinating qualities. We have NOT discussed these two women. We have only discussed the significance of their relationship with the man who is holding Malta hostage. Recognise the distinction, Fr Borg – after all, you do teach communications. I think your opinion here may have been formed by your own relationship with your mother, which you have written about several times in a way that I found almost disturbing. This is not a normal mother-adult son relationship, but one which could survive that way for decades only because, given that you are a priest, there was no other woman involved. In the normal course of events, given the advent of a life partner and perhaps children, the intensity of that relationship with your mother would have dissolved over time and normalised. In other words, Fr Borg, what you see as the ‘sacred mother’, other people see differently. Mothers are not sacred beings. They are women who have children either biologically or through adoption and bring them up, hopefully to be well-rounded people. The best mothers cut the umbilical cord themselves and ensure that their sons (there does not seem to be a similar problem with daughters) do not grow up to think they are sacred. One of the saddest spectacles in Mediterranean life is the sight of men edging into old age who still think and talk in terms of a sacred relationship with the woman who gave birth to them. This is spectacularly unhealthy.]

What a change of heart. Isn’t Dalli going to be invited by Joe Grima to discuss the present crisis? He was good enough to discuss and comment on the power station. Why not now? What has changed? He was commissioner then just as he is now.
