Varist plays the class war card again: “They don’t like Debono because he’s from Hal Ghaxaq”

Published: January 23, 2012 at 12:20am

The snake Evarist, talking about Franco Debono at Labour’s annual general conference this morning:

“They are ready to lie about you… but Joseph’s movement welcomes people from every walk of life.

They criticised Debono because he comes from a small village like Ghaxaq, because he’s not somebody’s son.

This is the way they treat their own people.”

No, actually, Varist: we’re criticising Debono because he’s a total jerk of dubious psychology, and because he IS somebody’s son and hasn’t she let us know it.

    Is one to deduce, then, that THEY hated Guido Demarco and called him Miss Pepsi because he was nobody’s son, or rather, the son of a school janitor?
    Bull-shite, Mr. Ex-Xirka of the late 70s.

    “…because he’s not somebody’s son.” – Evarist Bartolo

    But you have to be “somebody’s daughter” to be made a special delegate by the Great Leader and speak in the concluding session of the Annual Conference.

    Hypocrites.

  3. Jozef says:

    What we don’t like is when Franco equates Ghaxaq to his prejudice.

    Does being ‘nobody’s son’ entitle Debono to blackmail and backstab people?

    I am a ‘nobody’s son’ and I have never blackmailed or backstabbed anyone and nor do I intend to.

    If Labour is in power, Varist will just be a backbencher ‘taf int, kemm nalqulu halqu’.

    “They criticised Debono because … he’s not somebody’s son.” (Evarist Bartolo)

    If he is not somebody’s son, what is he? A modern Messiah?

    As far as I know not even Dr Franco Debono is claiming that accolade and he cannot be accused of being reticent in laying claims to all kinds of laurels.

    I can think of quite a number of nobody’s children in the P.N., Mr No Stipendju. But they honour their commitment to the people who voted for them.

    Mr. Bartolo, it is Franco Debono who insists on dragging up such details, nobody else (other than you, here).

    He’s the one who felt the need to compare their respective fathers’ achievements when Beppe Fenech Adami spoke over the weekend, obviously to gain some kind of perverse moral advantage.

    I believe you’re an intelligent man. Can’t you at least try to come back with some form of valid, reasoned argument?

    Instead of playing to the Labour gallery of course. They don’t need any convincing.

    Interesting, the only person to make this statement is one of the few Labour people not from the south of the island. It takes one to know one, Varist.
