The press should ask Jeffrey why he hasn’t divorced yet – or married his girlfriend
Coldplay at 50: can this man be more of a cliche?
Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando tells us what he ate for supper, what he’s doing on a Saturday nights, and what films he’s watched and teeth he’s pulled.
But he has been strangely, oddly reluctant to tell us why he hasn’t got divorced yet, after telling us last year that he couldn’t wait for the law to come into force so that he could divorce his wife.
Was it because of the negative reaction he got to that statement?
I hardly think so.
But given how he made his private life and marriage the driving factor for divorce legislation (and well and good), the press shouldn’t let him off the hook so easily now, sticking to reporting what he says on Facebook and what he thinks about Lawrence Gonzi and Franco Debono.
Mr Divorce should be asked why he hasn’t divorced yet, whether he has changed his mind, and whether he has suddenly got cold feet now that marrying his girlfriend is actually possible rather than just wishful thinking (you know how some men are….).
Come on, Jeffrey – after all that fuss and panic, and deliberate involvement of the nation in your (non) marital life, aren’t you going to give us a fairytale happy ending?
Se tibqa kif kont, wara kollox?
Tsk tsk – you can’t trust these men, can you.

I can’t wait to receive an invitation to his wedding. Botox vouchers as a going-away gift?
Cold play at 50. And cold feet in his marital life, it seems.
Divorcing a minister with a couple of retirement homes could be worth the wait.
Not to mention marrying someone who can give him full access to a contractor desperately in need of cash and permits to save his Xemxija dvelopment.
So much for no condition divorce.
Tired of “Botox Jeff” but just cannot pull yourself off this blog?
Try breathing some fresh air, try Ron Paul – and “sigh” along with the CEO of Running Notepad Commentary Inc. http://youtu.be/KbWyO6HOFgY
Ron Paul is drawing huge crowds of what Deffney would call ‘morons’. That’s because they’re informed enough to see through the fog of deception. 6000 such ‘morons’ attended this particular event – in a world where a flock of 400 sheeple give Romney a full house and much media applause.
It’s a phenomenon that the mainstream media do not want you to know is happening. Get more info at http://www.dailypaul.com but come back for more botox or avoid withdrawal insanity.
That’s “…TO avoid withdrawal insanity.”

Hey Kevvy! Just can’t stay away? A real sad sack.
Ron Paul is an eccentric who loves to piss into the wind. Back to gold standard? US dollar is defunct?
Your track record of backing losers is remarkable.
Dish wash time.
“Your track record of backing losers is remarkable.”
Not 100%. Presumably he did support Sharon’s No2EU campaign in 2003.
And if I am not mistaken, Joseph Muscat and Alfred Sant had said that “il-Partnerxippp rebah” (‘the Partnership’ won).
Back to sound money, Purdie, as opposed to fiat money, if only you knew what that means.
Did you hear about the 8 trillion dollar “credit-swap” the Fed did with the ECB and European banks around 2009? Of course not. Yet it emerged after a (rare) congressional bill forced the Fed to submit an audit of TARP (that’s the “$760 bln” bailout of 2008). Those 760 bln mushroomed to 16 trillion of monetised money. That bill that exposed the secret was proposed by Ron Paul.
Let me cut it short and give you something to laugh about. The ECB is not allowed to lend money to governments, so it lends cheaply (1%) to banks and they in turn lend it to governments (through bond buying) at loan-shark rates. The ECB does not monetise (that’s another word for ‘creating money out of thin air’) so the cartel creates the money at the Federal Reserve, swaps it for toxic assets, and voila, we’ve got cash – cheap loans for the cartel’s banks and perpetual interest for the slave nations.
When you get around that snippet, come back for more laughs. If not, just get hooked on botox. It worked for Daphne.
Meanwhile, here are some bedtime stories for you:

Maybe he’s waiting for the same-sex marriage law. Who knows.
The PN have been dragging their feet on the cohabitation law. They were supposed to announce it last year.
It looks that it will be one of the first Labour government’s legislations.
It seems Jeffrey does not need divorce, or he is having second thoughts.
Wasn’t it him who insisted on the contents of the co-habitation law?

And while at it,can some investigative journalist worth his /her salt, ask Jeffrey what is he doing with the increase in parliamentary honoraria now that the IVA divorce movement is disbanded?
Is he giving it back to the exchequer? I should assume that he still finds it indecently high.
Or?
While at it can we see the audited accounts of the IVA movement, and the other charities which are presumably receiving these monies (increases) by the other MP’s who refused it?
As far as I know back in January the PN reluctantly stopped taking their honoraria increases. That was when they realized that an election could be round the corner.You do follow the news don’t you, or are you better informed than us mere mortals, and know that they are still getting them since the budget bill has not passed yet. In which case I can understant the long Easter holiday they gave themselves. It seems both Daphne and you are not so up to date with news, since she didn’t know that Jeffrey and Marlene have been divorced for quite a while.
[Daphne – I was well aware that Jeffrey and Marlene had divorced, Jacky. But I felt that he should have been the one to announce it on Facebook, given how he involved the entire country is his non-marriage.]
Even though in Malta there is the divorce legislation, I heard of a few cases of people I know that they opted for a civil annulment rather than the divorce itself.
Could it be that there are different laws for divorced couples and those who had the marriage disolved by the state?
[Daphne – A declaration of nullity is very different to divorce. Divorce ends a marriage. A declaration of nullity means that there never was a marriage. So the legal regimes are very different.]
Maybe he has already filed for divorce and is awaiting the final judgement.
[Daphne – After being separated from his wife for around 15 years? I hardly think so.]
It’s incredible that people publicly write such personal things on the internet. Especially from a professional man, a dentist and an MP. It’s like graffiti on a wall.
You forgot part-time farmer, chairman emeritus of the MCST and defender of European culture.
And we forgot his role in defending valleys in the Widien Artna.
He is also Chairman of the MCST – and proud about it.
Jeffrey’s finest hour was when he ponced around in that TV studio in the role of a journalist – flashing his press card issued by the Nationalist Party to prove it. You forgot this part of his CV.
I’m surprised the Institute of Journalists (if such a body exists) never took this up. Or do they hold themselves in such low esteem that they have no problem with any Tom, Dick and Harry being issued with a press card?
[Daphne – I am totally opposed to state-issued press cards and refuse to hold one. Press cards in Malta are issued by the state through the Department of Information. This means that they are a form of state licence, even if no press accreditation is actually refused. Press cards should be issued by a journalist’s employers, because the only reason one is required is to prove that the journalist actually does work for that organisation. Since everybody knows what I do for a living, my argument is that a press card is, in my case at least, utterly redundant. I recall, less than fondly, having a massive argument with some door-harridan at the prime minister’s office some years ago, when she demanded my press card to allow me into a press conference, while addressing me by name. The press card is there to prove I work for the press, I argued, and not to give me permission to enter. And so it’s back to the same thing: the press card in Malta, because it is issued by the state, has become a licence for entry to this and that, and if you don’t have one, you’re kept out even if the people keeping you out know for a fact that you’re a journalist. It’s the same difference with that business with Jeffrey: he had a press card from the DOI, but what he should have had was a press card from a media organisation. Press cards issued by the state are intrinsically and fundamentally wrong. The arguments against state-licensing of journalists through a formal warrant apply also to state press cards.]
Bloody hell!
He wasted a whole year of this present government’s legislature on the divorce bill which was on nobody’s past electoral manifesto nor on the very top of this country’s agenda so that he could get divorced ASAP, and now I learn here that he has not even bothered to get unhitched yet?
What a jerk.
Why doe this remind me of Alfred Sant showing us his voting document after the referendum?
A man with a mind of a 15 year old. how sad. not even my daughter would post such childish stuff. Grow up and get out of politics – you are a disgrace not only to your children but to your country.
