And for Labour’s next trick….

Published: June 5, 2012 at 9:40pm

I see just now that the Labour Party’s Nuremberg trials will be dragged on a little while longer, giving those three clowns – Eyebrows Vella, Herr Flick and Sogno Busuttil – a bit more time to come up with Plan Z.

This is a lousy idea, for not only is their case looking increasingly absurd and foolish, but with every fresh line of desperate questioning, the personal witch-hunt nature of this enterprise becomes more difficult to suppress.

And of course, only the Labour Party would have failed to foresee the major flaw in its strategy of pitting three of the bluntest knives in its drawer against, of all people, Richard Cachia Caruana.

“Let’s see now. Who shall we choose to give RCC a good grilling?”

“Ah yes, Luciano Busuttil. And how about George Vella and Leo Brincat? It’ll be a walkover.”

“And for our next trick, we’ll tell people that voting for EU membership is like committing suicide.”

“Emmmm, I think we’ve done that already. And Aaron Farrugia is so confused by writing our electoral manifesto that he got mixed up and thinks that we’re with the European People’s Party not the European Socialists.”

I wouldn’t even trust this lot to boil an egg.

    I have just watched Deborah Schembri on Bondi+.

    Becoming famous during the divorce referendum does not a politician make. It was hilarious listening to her try to justify why Labour governed in 1981.

    [Daphne – Especially when she would have thought it unjustifiable before becoming a Labour candidate.]

    It was even more hilarious listening to her trying to explain Labour’s new guarantee to youngsters when she was at the forefront of the student protests in 1997 with Deborah clearly seen holding a placard – Hands off our stipends.

    She now wants us to believe that the same persons responsible for all the past Labour fracas from 1981 onwards and who are still prominent within Labour have changed and she now believes them and so should we. If she is so gullible, we are not.

    A weak performance if I ever saw one. BIG FAIL

      She even asked us and wanted to know why there never was a motion against il-Guy during the eighties. What political immaturity of the first degree.

      She thinks she can wriggle out of Labour’s glorious history with her lawyer reasoning. It won’t work with those of us who lived through the golden years.

      It was equally hilarious but sad to watch Joe Gerada on One news justifying Muscat’s latest guarantee. A very fitting appreciation of the various Nationalist administrations, and especiallly Lawrence Gonzi, for giving him the opportunity and showing trust in him to lead one of the country’s major social agencies.

      It was an illogical argument.

      She says the PN was her party of choice when Labour were doing their bit in the 80s.

      When, according to her, the PN changed for the worse, she chooses Joseph’s Labour, restored 80s guard and all.

      1981 was a legal administration with a functioning parliament according to Deborah/ Well, so were racial discrimination laws in 1931 Italy.

      Sad seeing someone like her reduced to this.

    Or to organize a piss-up in a brewery.

    Did you notice that at one point Deborah Schembri referred to the PN as ‘ahna’ towards the end?
