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.

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.

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.

“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.

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

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.

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

“…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.

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.
