And Malta Today is working – though we shouldn’t be shocked – in tandem with them, too
Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando Smith
The interests of Malta Today, the Labour Party and Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando Smith dovetail neatly,so it is to be expected that they will work on their common project.
Also, none of them have any integrity whatsoever, so they do not have the usual moral objections to perpetrating evil for their own advantage.
Malta Today wants to bring down Lawrence Gonzi. It seeks the defeat of the Nationalist Party not as an end in itself, but as the means by which Lawrence Gonzi will have to step down and a new leader – John Dalli, they hope – be elected.
Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando has the same objective, and is working towards that end by his own admission. He is doing everything he can to have Labour elected, he is cooperating with Labour to this end, he has said he will not vote, and he has said that he will seek readmission to the party list when Lawrence Gonzi ‘and his click’ are gone. Whether he wants Dalli as the new leader, as Malta Today does, isn’t clear. But it must be so, because if that new leader is somebody like either Mario de Marco or Simon Busuttil, he hasn’t a hope in hell of returning.
The Labour Party and Muscat just want to be elected, whatever it takes and even if their passage to the top is built on lies, evil and criminal slander.
Malta Today is now running a story under the atrocious headline: “Pullicino Orlando substantiates accusations against Cachia Caruana”
They know very well that Pullicino Orlando did nothing of the sort, that Joe Mizzi went on Super One yesterday night and lied shockingly, talking about his impressions and what he thinks, and that this morning Pullicino Orlando presented those lies and thoughts as ‘evidence’.
Forget the politics of the situation and the personal vindictiveness of those involved. In purely journalistic terms, this is a disaster for Malta Today, which presumably wishes to be taken seriously as a newspaper rather than being considered as little more than a vehicle to secure the eradiction of Lawrence Gonzi and the elevation of John Dalli to the throne he believes is his.
How exactly did Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando substantiate his allegations by quoting the thoughts and feelings and hunches of a Labour MP on Super One?

freudian slip: that’;s Jo Said in the picture!!!
[Daphne – Somebody told me recently not to use irony because it’s alien to Maltese culture. Now I know what he meant.]
Daphne, you will need to use a little warning: WARNING: Use of Irony Ahead. Like the ones about “Attakki Personali Oxxeni.”
Miskin JPOS kif spicca.
And another for sarcasm.
Will Malta Today have us believe they can’t see how a Nationalist Party led by John Dalli would never win an election?
Presumably Sargas need their timeframes.
WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?

Imbecilles.
Is the prisoner of Brussels on parole?
It is no surprise that so many people would be working together in such a way. This is Malta, where everyone and everything is so close, not just geographically but also socially as well, which makes such allegiances seem acceptable and natural, even though they are neither.
Since we all know each other and want to be nice to each other any form of professionalism is seen as unfair.
Those without morality or backbone are guided by the principle that “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”.
In all this political fiasco, where is the President of the Republic?

I don’t think the president has much say in things though. Does he?
Here he is:

Very good timing for the President to be in Peru.
This appointment was definitely one of Gonzi’s mistakes, together with his handling of the divorce issue.
A Labourite’s loyalty is solely towards the Labour Party and himself / herself.
Whilst the President’s son attacks GonziPN that it is a cirku ghall-hbieb, few families have gained as much as his under Gonzi and this government.
Excellent analysis. The circle of conspirators is wide indeed. Not true politicians or journalists but more of a disillusioned drop-out.
JPOS kemm jixbah lil Jo Said f’dan ir-ritratt.
If you were to look beyond the facade, you wouldn’t tell the difference.
