Franco Debono: “Pajjiz immexxi mil-blokkers.”
Pajjiz immexxi mil-blokkers, indeed. That’s why the entire country is being held hostage to his various neuroses.
So, going by Franco Debono’s speech in parliament this evening, Nationalist backbencher Charlo Bonnici is his next target.
Kemm hu bniedem marid.
Persecution mania tboss.
Franco, I know you’re reading this on your bleeding crackberry: your speech sounded like a diska tan-nevrastenija. It was like listening to a seriously neurotic person pressing rewind and play until all the party-goers have left the room shaking their heads and tapping their temples.
If you weren’t holding the government’s single-seat majority, people would be leaving the room as soon as you enter it, before you latch onto them with your favourite themes.

debonoPL takes his battle to the internet and wages war on the’blokkers’
No other endgame possible ……. immediate election to end Franco’s game.
…. and Joseph Muscat did pick up the fact that his friend Franco Debono is voting with a conditional yes.
The Prime Minister, in his winding up, should call Franco Debono’s bluff. A conditional yes is not acceptable.
You seem to reach new depths of idiocy with every public utterance.
@ABC – like most PN voters, I do feel like a hopeless idiot. I cannot accept the fact that I am represented in parliament by Franco Debono.
“every public utterance” – I do not speak/blog in public that often to prompt such a reaction from an opinion writer I respect.
[Daphne – It could be a case of mistaken identity.]
Re – mistaken identity: well I added the middle F precisely because I wanted to differentiate myself from the other Ivan Attard who regularly attacks Andrew Borg Cardona on his blog. (ABC is aware of this fact and that is why I was surprised with ABC’s comment)
Notwithstanding the above, I am even more convinced with my line of thinking.
Franco Debono had to vote ‘yes’ and express confidence in government, because otherwise he would deprive himself (or other PN MPs for that matter) of the opportunity to vote ‘no’ on other votes.
Debono was quoted as saying that he will vote with government on the PREU vote. That does not exclude the possibility that:-
i) he will claim that he was misquoted;
ii) or simply changes his mind;
ii) or that he is perfectly aware of other black sheeps on the issue. (JPO’s silent presence during Leo Brincat’s “question” time should raise an eyebrow).
That is why the PM, during his winding up, should have called Franco Debono’s bluff last Monday and demand an even more clear unconditional yes vote from all 35 PN members of parliament.
Hopefully, Andrew Borg Cardonais right and all this reasoning is a mere idiotic hallucination.
Stock up on laxatives, Franco.
Franco Debono seems to be on a mission to redeem himself and regain the trust and support of both the party and his constituents. I would not be surprised in the least if he succeeds and gets re-elected come next election, provided he subdues his antics and votes consistently with the government until the very last day of this legislature.
[Daphne – I don’t agree with either of your theories.]
Having read your latest post, I’m inclined to take back everything I said. We’ll see.
Have you realised how Debono’s speech was just about him …. and him and him…..
So Franco’s reading this? OK, here goes.
F**K OFF, FRANCO.
“I wish to offer my help to the prime minister if he is committed to bringing about these reforms,” Dr Debono said.
The best way he can help the Prime Minister (and everyone else) is to find a big rock in some dark damp place, crawl under it and stay there.
The blokkers who run this country should realise that chops are nowhere near as important as the libel laws.
Maltastar has reported Franco Debono’s speech in its own inimitable way.

The PL should delare Malta Today as its official mouthpiece and relegate Maltastar to a role of light entertainment.
“Nationalist backbencher MP Franco Debono in a more calmer tone initiated his speech in parliament after Prime Minister Lawrence presented another motion of confidence in the government.”
Prime Minister Lawrence? Seriously?
My favourite is “increasing his voice”.
“Increasing his voice…”
They are very fit to run the country. Tal-biki.
Just a week ago or so, Tony Blair admitted in a public inquiry in Britain that before he became prime minister, he had travelled all the way to Australia to meet Mr. Rupert Murdoch and to seek the support of his papers.
Eventually, one of Murdoch’s papers threw its support behind Blair, and this was instrumental in his sweeping to victory in 1997.
Is Franco Debono not aware of the power of the media over politics?
Pressing rewind and play ? In the age of ipods ?
