In reply to Alfred Bugeja. His big mouth gets him in one bind after another. Il-veru lsienu twil dat-tifel.

Initially the PL had presented a motion of “censure” and this was later amended to “confidence” (or resignation if lost) motion, so much so that a Speaker’s ruling was required.

It could either be that Franco Debono is being “manipulated” by the PL or they are in cahoots, or both.

From Day One when Debono started his shenanigans, did he not realise that his political career would go down the drain, be it in 2012 or 2013; or his rancour has nothing to do with not being made a minister but a nearly rejected sub-standard thesis?

Or is he more complicated than this? If he were a calculating person, he would have considered consequences before even thinking of opening his mouth. With hindsight, the swiitched off/on smartphone, body language, mode of speaking, taking us back to the high-achieving Form II days were all premonitory signs of his predictable, and yet unpredictable, behaviour.

In years to come he himself could be the subject of academic dissertations, for various reasons.

I wonder how Franco reconciles this particular episode in his career with his much-vaunted personal motto “for the glory of God” (presumably something he picked up from his Jesuit educators)… “Ħu ġo fik, Carm, għall-akbar glorja t’Alla!”

In reply to BC.

And what if that employee is one of the directors….helll yeah they are HSBC. i.e PN in our case or part of it that’s for sure, and whenever Gonzi refers to PN I’m sure he considers his Ministers as a great part of it….halliha li ftit minnhom ghandhom poteri aktar minn haddiehor. Pero your argument is nullified the moment you make personal attacks jaqqqq, the rock bottom of society.

Franco should hide himself in some thick bush. His multiple SHAMEFUL ACTS are far beyond what would be called sane and correct.

Another anecdote from my mum (85 and counting) over lunch this afternoon:

“Franco must be the most hated individual on the island. And he didn’t need any help from Daphne Caruana Galizia for that. he did it all by himself.”

In reply to David Ellul. Franco has two pending cases against him before the Commission for Administration of Justice (of which the Chief Justice is a member). If he's found guilty as charged in any of them, he stands to lose his warrant, possibly indefinitely.
