And Anglu Farrugia didn’t move for the resignation of the home affairs minister
Malta's next minister of home affairs - Franco, please do take note
Ah, but that was because he was a police inspector at the time. He would obviously have brought a motion against the home affairs minister had he been in parliament, wouldn’t he.

MORE ALLEGATIONS OF BEATINGS
Here we go again. Each time you are naive enough to hope that reports of ill-treatment at Police Headquarters are slacking down, there’s always a zealous inspector who wants to prove you wrong and put the record straight.
Two brothers, Angelo and Joseph Borg, alleged recently that while detained at Police headquarters, they were badly beaten up, threatened and insulted by the investigating officer.
They were helping the Police investigate a pot of paint thrown at a Minister’s residence. A heinous crime, no doubt. In the eyes of some, sufficient to degrade and intimidate two law-abiding citizens presumed innocent until proved guilty.
A press release isssued by the Opposition party carries the allegation further still. What the police wanted from the beatings was not ony a self-incriminating confession, but a statement that the brothers had been commissioned to perform their infamous paint-throwing misdeed by some high-ups in the Opposition party.
The penalty for paint-throwing is torture, and it’s only fair that it should be so.
When you recall how the police mauled those who gutted The Times building to the ground, how they racked those who devastated the Archbishop’s Curia, how they garrotted those who vandalized the law courts, the excruciating pain they inflicted on those who ransacked the house of the Leader of the Opposition and assaulted his family – what else can you expect from their anxiety to find out more about a pot of paint?
It may be rough, but at least it’s even-handed.

Is there an archive of The Democrat anywhere? If so, it is probably replete with “gems” such as the one above.
That bloody bastard did it. He voted with the Opposition. Someone said the PN should throw him out. No, I do not agree, leave him there and just ignore him completely. Limelight is what he wants, and that is not what he is going to get.
The bastard’s done it – http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20120530/local/flash-franco-debono-abstains.422058
It’s telling, isn’t it, that he chose THIS as one of his profile pictures: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1488768150881.62060.1584273114&type=3#!/photo.php?fbid=3537627171076&set=a.1488768150881.62060.1584273114&type=3&theater
It’s always been about him. His girlfriend had better watch out.
A professional psychological analysis of Franco Debono’s choice of profile pictures on Facebook – and of recommended links on the same – might reveal a very interesting picture.
Ah, but now Anglu is on the ‘right’ side, enjoying Labour’s coup, with Franco’s help, in toppling Minister Carmelo Mifsud Bonnici.
All 35 must be so proud of themselves.
This is just a dress rehearsal of what follows next and what the creeps will do if they win the election.
And the other mummy’s boy is itching to get out of the wings … http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20120530/local/muscat.422059
So now we have Franco Debono’s vote in favour of the Opposition’s motion.
This man is utterly shameless and should be given the boot by the Nationalist Party at the first instance – come what may.
The Prime Minister should strip him of any positions that he has recently given him just to appease him, and throw him out of his office in Castille.
This man has not only committed political suicide, but he has shown that he has no morals whatsoever, by being a party to the PL’s lynching on one of the most decent politicians in the House.
[Daphne – It’s the other way round: the Opposition was party to Franco’s lynching of the home affairs minister.]
The article at the top on the right looks interesting. It’s about Leo Brincat. Why is he posing as a post-Mintoffian laburist with ministerial potential?
Wasn’t he some sort of big cheese in Labour’s heyday?
Dear Daphne, how are you today, the vote of no confidence taken in parliament today applies to you also, I think. God Bless.
[Daphne – Really? I hadn’t noticed.]
Can we have a parliamentary motion for removing useless MPs? That would clear most of the house on the opposition side and they could take that wanker Debono with them.
I followed this evening’s parliamentary session, and heard Michael Falzon stating that the motion had already been prepared before Franco spoke against Dr Carm Mifsud Bonnici; and they didn’t table the motion because Dr Carm was in hospital.
On NET TV’s” Iswed fuq l-Abjad” , Leo Brincat repeated what Michael said earlier in parliament. They were a bit late to tell us this important detail.
Do they want to show us how deficient they are? They are saying that they had MONTHS to prepare the motion and on the eleventh hour they had to amend it.
Truly, I believe they did this in a hurry after watching one of Franco’s parliamentary tantrums against Minister Carm Mifsud Bonnici – striking while the iron was hot, sort of. If they said this they would have been more credible.
I noticed that Michael and Jose’ did the dirty work while OBE Joseph claimed victory.
The picture shows our next Minister of Home Affairs in a ferocious moment.
Envy always causes a lot of harm. The House has lost a hard-working, honest and likable person. Franco, of course will keep pressing on until – somehow – he gets his lollipop. I never imagined that Lawrence Gonzi was competing with Job for the record for patience.
Now Gadget has become a born-again Christian.
