In reply to Old Aloysian. Yeah well, then it was the St Edward's boys who actually climbed to fame.

This whole Franco Debono issue reminded me of the college anthym. He and some others seem to be following it word by word…. Abstract:

..”Work, play, day by day,
College years crawl away,
Low, High our sky rolls by.
Heads lifted high, St.Aloysius our cry,
While we study, work and play.
Our aim, proud we claim,
Is the ladder of fame.”…

In reply to John Schembri.

At one point on Bondi+, Franco took up Lou’s lead confirming Joseph’s ‘admiration’ following some prize day.

Which begs the question, is this why Joseph wants to be prime minister?

We don’t need another one grumbling the PN won’t let him work.

I would think that he is rubbing his hands in glee at this negatve publicity he is getting.

His small mind thinks that he will surface victorious after his shameful performance, but all cock-fighters know that somhere, somehow, another cock will appear and defeat his super-cock.

Debono said he wasn’t interested in commercial law and missed many lectures.

Isn’t that a euphemism for having failed and needing to resit commercial law exams?

Who’s going to bell the cat?

Confidence vote or no confidence vote?A confidence vote needs Franco’s vote while a no confidence vote needs it also. If he votes NO in the no confidence , then all PL supporters will call him ‘pufta’ for not putting his words into actions.

Labour would look power hungry even more than they are perceived to be now. That’s what Joseph is worried about.

Joseph is afraid. He talked a lot in the press conference and virtually said nothing. He was probably reading some paper which Anglu Farrugia ‘corrected’.
The outcome was “Un bell zero adornato con i fiori.”

I liked the barrage of questions from the journalists present.

The PN is in no hurry, and neither is the public.

We would be in uncertainty if the government was a new government under a new leader in these troubled times of bailouts, technocratic governments, austerity measures and shrinking economies . Up to now we’re doing comparatively well.

There is a problem within the PN but it’s not causing uncertainty in the country,it is only causing embarrassment to the party in government.

In parliament Franco will just abstain. He knows his limits and he won’t bring the government down.

He’s no fool. If he does something of the sort he won’t be able to walk down Strada Rjali ever again.

Like all people he judges others by his standards.
