The Fat Controller thinks he deserves a medal

Published: August 28, 2012 at 10:51am

Oh look! It’s a fat fuck!

You have to be sure to read the piece in The Times today about how that fat fuck from Mintoff’s cabinet is “standing by his words” and won’t apologise – you know, as though he’s Mahatma Gandhi or a member of Pussy Riot.

I’ll just remind you what those words are:

“Fuck you Father” – l-aqwa l-honorific, eh – “and if you don’t know the ropes I am sure there are enough pedophile priests to show you how.”

Quite frankly, at this stage it must be Joe Grima who needs to be shown the ropes. It must be years since he had any, given that Lynne Zahra probably needs a mining helmet and torch to find the apparatus among all those pillows of drooping flab.

“Nah, won’t bother. Maybe next time.”

Joe Grima won’t apologise because, he says, most people agree with what he said. Right you are, Joe. And who are these people? Ah yes, the fox il liba omok brigade.

Splendid. Il-lupu ma jbiddilx sufu. Not that anyone in his right mind would describe you as a wolf. You’re just not – ehhmmmmm – foxy enough.

  6. Jozef says:

    Fr. Lucie-Smith dared to analyse the dynamics of Mintoff’s ultimate failure, his utter lack of taste and the establishment of vulgarity, veniality and sugary melanchonia to criteria for national identity. Favoured by those who can’t get to terms with form.

    People like Joe Grima are scared shitless this article could lead to the next step which would have them lose their sickly sweet privileges, not to mention tangible assets forcefully removed from their rightful owners.

    When I say rightful owners, it’s not just in the legal sense, but a moral advantage which he and others can’t ever have.

    When Grima declares he has a ‘majority’ of comments, all he’s doing is to affirm his right to rehabilitate the violence he personally perpetrated. It’s as if saying Mintoff did right should cater for their excesses, violence and frenzied greed

    I see the orphans do think they have been shameful in their actions, trust them to use Mintoff to agglomerate the cause.

        Actually they are hibernating waiting for the Rebbieha Gdida taht gvern Laburista. What you can see on all the famous comment boards and a couple of pages is just the beginning of their revival.

        These “sleepers” were never rooted out and in my opinion, this was Eddie Fenech Adami’s major mistake. He had to unite Malta through correction not through forgiveness, but forgive and focus on the future is his philosophy and he is never going to change in that aspect. My fear is this is where eman (previous comment) will be right.

      • IMHO says:

        They aren’t hibernating at all. They’re all over the internet like a rash and are out there littering the streets.

  10. john says:

    A civilised opinion piece in a reputable paper is answered with obscenities by this Labour stalwart figurehead.

    This standard-bearer of Labour discussion programmes has demonstrated yet again that civliised discussion does not come easy to him and his Labour bedfellows. Obscenities and violence are their stock in trade.

    And he’s proud of it. And unrepentant.

    Prepare yourselves for more of the same.

  11. Paul Borg says:

    These kind of reactions are an eye-opener to all those that think that Labour deserve a chance at the next election. People, wake up….they are still the same bunch of sly, empty, vulgar peasants and it seems to be getting worse.

  12. Stanley J A Clews says:

    All I will say to Joe is “remember Rev Bro Hilary fsc” who is resting in peace

    • IMHO says:

      Please do elaborate. I remember he was editor of the Malta Year Book. Joe Grima couldn’t have been too pleased.

  13. Mister says:

    So Fr. Lucie-Smith was offensive? Since when is saying the truth… offensive?

    Joe Grima, you had managed to fool many of us… turning all mellow on your radio station then on Net TV acting like a saint. I now know your history and the present uncovers you as a fraud.

    Joe Grima, you are just another dinosaur in Joseph Muscat’s closet.

    Labour hasnt changed. Far from it!

    • Censa says:

      Well truth hurts. If Grima wanted to reply to this article, all he had to do was list counter arguments based on facts, and not hurl a list on obscenities on his Facebook wall (which also gives the impression he is a coward).

      Saying obscenities is not forming an opinion.

      If he couldn’t come up with a single argument then saying obscenities was his only way of dealing with his frustration (there are slightly better ways of dealing with such situations when you’re a grown up, like accepting facts for what they are, make amends if required and moving on).

  16. romualdo azzopardi says:

    out of all people, Daphne, I thought you’d relate pretty nicely to the ‘nature’ and the ‘tone’ (not so much the content) of Grima’s comment.

    [Daphne – How so?]

    • romualdo azzopardi says:

      Well, Grima’s words, according to you (and according to others) called for an apology because they were deeply offensive.

      I found your article after *he who shall not be named* passed away, also, deeply offensive – not so much politically – but on a human-being level.

      Secondly, you said that Grima’s argument that he shouldn’t apologise because (in his own words) many agreed with him, is, to put it mildly, a weak and/or flawed argument (taking into consideration the number and/or ‘quality’ of the people who stood by his comment).

      Well, ippermettili an analogy here.

      With reference to the same article about the death of *he-who-shall-not-be-named*, i believe that your situation was even worse:

      I wont comment on the heroism or atrocity of the article per se’, that is not my point. But, not only did you have very few who seconded your opinion, but contrary to Grima’s comment, your article fuelled thousands of angry readers, and even facebook groups calling for your public humiliation.

      Clearly, the consequences of Grima’s comment and those of your article are not comparable, in that the consequences for your article were, in my humble opinion, of a greater gravity.

      And yet you disagree with him withholding an apology?

      How so?

      [Daphne – I’m not a big one for demanding apologies, Mr Azzopardi. I think it is a pointless southern Mediterranean exercise in rebalancing honour. It is not feelings of regret that people want, but a climb-down, which is different. Elsewhere, in the truly civilised world, people don’t demand apologies. They offer them. If Joe Grima cannot see how bloody stupid he was, then I agree, why apologise? My point was that when people tactical a subject with proper arguments, you should reply with proper arguments. Grima knows this, which is why he claimed to be replying in the same vein. Except that it wasn’t the same vein at all, not by any stretch of the imagination. The fat man was simply playing to his audience of savages who can’t read what Lucie-Smith wrote, still less understand it. Of course, I don’t blame you for your lack of comprehension. The ill-bred are most unfortunately ill-equipped to deal with life in the civilised sphere, which favours their betters (and not because of ‘privilege’, because anybody can learn these things, really). However, Grima had a proper education and this manifests itself when he thinks it appropriate and necessary. In other words, he knows the code. But that code is forever in conflict with his vulgar and savage roots. His brother Godfrey is exactly the same, a conflict of unnaturally-held manners on the one hand and savage, aggressive vulgarity on the other. They are both extremely unpleasant when the mood takes them.]

      • Romualdo Azzopardi says:

        Whilst I see your point, perhaps you failed to understand mine.

        What I meant is ‘how come you don’t believe you yourself should apologise?’ Is it also because you believe that an apology is a ‘stupid Mediterranean exercise’?

        [Daphne – Apologise for what – expressing an opinion that I am glad Mintoff is dead? Apologise to whom, exactly – in general, like at a Chinese public humiliation of enemies of the state? You’re extremely odd if you can’t see the difference between a direct personal insult from one man to another man writing about yet another man, and this person saying what she thinks about the death of a former prime minister. If you write something about a third party and I don’t like it and write publicly: “Fuck you Romualdo and find a priest to show you how if you’re not a paedophile already’, then that is a direct insult to somebody who has caused me no harm, and so I might wake up, regret it and apologise. If Alexander Lucie Smith had written ‘Joe Grima is a fat fuck and as a minister was totally corrupt’, then Grima might be entitled to respond in kind (though it would be extremely ill-advised). But Lucie-Smith didn’t even mention him, let alone insult him. But in any case, I just can’t understand how and why you are unable to see that his reaction was completely inappropriate, vulgar, ill-mannered and ill-judged. He has the linguistic skills, unlike his Facebook friends, to argue a point. So he should argue it.]

        Also, you completely ignored my comment about the consequences of your own article. (which ironically was basically my entire comment).

        One last thing, please do not insult my intelligence by using a collective “you” when speaking generally. If you meant it ‘per modo di parlare’, not a problem, we all do that.

        (Quote: “Of course, I don’t blame you for your lack of comprehension.”)

        But if that was not speaking generally, I take it that you resorted to a personal attack on an unknown person and the interactivity will stop here on account of it being entirely pointless.

        [Daphne – This is an object lesson in civil behaviour, Mr Azzopardi. I could always follow your hero’s behaviour and tell you to fuck off and find a paedophile to teach you how to do it, but I don’t, though I am sorely tempted to do so.]

      • Jozef says:

        Romualdo,

        I made it a point to watch his coffin on TV to register that he’s dead. It brought a smile to my face.

        It could be wrong, but the reaction wasn’t one of regret, just relief.

        What do you make of that?

      • pg says:

        If the fat man had a good standard of education , doesn’t that suppost man of the cloth Lucie smith who is Maltese have the same education. And as a priest who suppose to preach tollereance , why did he wrote that article redarding of a public figure like il perit Mintoff , who just Died. Is this the new teaching of Christianity?

        [Daphne – He’s English, pg. He grew up taking freedom of expression for granted. Lucky him. As for me, I find I’m living in a country where most people just don’t get it, so really, no wonder bad things happen here.]

    • James Tyrell/Beowulf says:

  24. fm says:

    Joe Grima is nothing more than a Mintoffjan mimli ghira u hdura as clearly reflected in his programme Inkontri on Jason TV, and unfortunately Joe Muscat has again surrounded himself by these people.

    We definitely cannot afford to allow these people to take us back from where we started in 1987, especially in such a difficult economic scenario.

    The past few days have definitely served as a wake up call to many. It was unbelievable to see people who were ministers in Mintoff’s cabinet steal the show. Yhey are dying to return to power as cabinet ministers.

    Whilst Gonzi’s cabinet is made up of new faces who have worked hard and managed to acheive results, with a Labour cabinet we would go back to the 80s and could end up with Edward Scicluna as finance minister (read his article Mintoffianomics in the times of last saturday), Evarist Bartolo as education minister, Marie Louis Coleiro as heatlh minister, Karmenu Vella as tourism minister or finance minister, Anglu Farrugia taking good care of our police force as he did in the 80s, Alex Sceberras Trigona and Joe Grima laying down the law on PBS.

    God forbid

  25. Stanley J A Clews says:

    [Daphne – Yes, I remember that your brother had written an open letter to Joe Grima when he was a minister behaving particularly badly. I think it was around the time of the government’s crusade against church-run schools. If I remember that letter well, Brother Hilary had expressed his feelings of sadness and dismay at how Joe, who had shown such potential at school – he taught him – had turned out so disappointingly badly and let himself down.]

  36. Frank says:

    Two wrongs will not make one right. I think what the priest said was true, if not all, most of it, but it was not the right time. Mintoff did some good as well. BUT what really shocked me was Joe Grima’s comments. I DON’T EXPECT AN EX-MINISTER???…. TO STOOP SO LOW like the thugs that used to applaud him. But then, they were Mintoffjans. And I’m sure this will haunt the PL in the next election, people will remember them for what they were…. and still are?

    This is the fat fuck who enjoys disabled parking because he can’t walk more than four steps before his legs give way. The same fat fuck who ransacked public property in Pembroke during his years of tourism minister which his sons converted into a prominent night club called Raffles.

    Ara veru zibel. First he betrays the labour party and goes on the PN media to vent his frustration during Alfred sant now he holds Inkontri where he invites prominent guests and does not allow the panel to talk, making all the debate himself.

    I was 29 when I left Malta in 1980, so I only remember 3 PM’s.. Dr. George Borgolivier ; Dom Mintoff and I can’t remember if Dr. Fenech Adami was in that time, 2 of them have passed away and may they rest in peace and one is still with us and may God keep him safe. I’m sure that they all tried their best to bring our nation forward and prosper to the best of their ability!!!!
    To those people bitching and accusing Dom Mintoff after his passing when their is no way he can defend himself, I bet if you put them all together they won’t make 1 millionth of the courage, the will, the love for his country, the passion and the determination to see his country free from any foreign domination and oppretion.
    So let the man rest in peace…..SHUT THE FUCK UP….and do something good for your country like he did.
    And another thing……don’t bother answering back because I don’t have time for people or shall I say low rats like you.

    Beware, beware gentlemen, this out burst from fatty Grima should put on a red light for you and should serve as a foretaste & warning to the sane and intelligent maltese electorate of the imminent danger and type of milieu to which they will be exposed and subjected once the PL is in government.

    I was 29 when I left Malta in 1980, so I only remember 3 PM’s.. Dr. George Borgolivier ; Dom Mintoff and I can’t remember if Dr. Fenech Adami was in that time, 2 of them have passed away and may they rest in peace and one is still with us and may God keep him safe. I’m sure that they all tried their best to bring our nation forward and prosper to the best of their ability!!!!
    To those people bitching and accusing Dom Mintoff after his passing when their is no way he can defend himself, I bet if you put them all together they won’t make 1 millionth of the courage, the will, the love for his country, the passion and the determination to see his country free from any foreign domination and oppretion.
    So let the man rest in peace…..SHUT THE FUCK UP….and do something good for your country like he did.
    And another thing……don’t bother answering back because I don’t have time for people or shall I say low rats like you.

    Issa li Joe Grima irrezenja mill-programm tieghu Inkontri, xorta ghadhom ma jistghux jifhmu d-differenza bejnu u bejn DCG (fuq fb)!! “U la Joe talab skuza u rrezenja DCG ghandha taghmel l-istess!”

    Bis-serjeta’? U minn fejn ezatt jew minn liema pozizzjoni ghandha tirrezenja DCG?

    Ejja nhallu il-kwistjoni tal-piz u problemi ta dieta apparti, id-differenza hija li, ghalkemm DCG ghandha twemmin politiku blu, l-opinjoni taghha (bil-lingwagg kollu baxx u offensiv li tghidu li tuza) tesprimiha fuq blog personali taghha (fuq l-ebda mezzi ta xandir tal-partit) u m’ghandhiex responsabiltajiet lejn il-partit. Min-naha l-ohra Joe Grima mhux biss ghandu twemmin politiku ahmar, imma kien ministru, u ghadu juza l mezzi tax-xandir tal-istess partit – allura ghandu certu responsabilta’ lejn dak li jghid u jaghmel ghax ha jirrifletti il pozizzjoni tal-partit li jirrapprezenta.

    (hsibt li nikteb dan il-kumment bil-Malti sabiex jifhmuh)

      We thought writing in Maltese was a typical Nationalist low self esteem characteristic. Now it is no longer a thought… it is a belief! For me, a fact!

    This is becoming absurd! Certain expressions expressed on your blog by persons, including at times by your good self, when resorting to include vulgar language in your blog and allowing it, are loosing the sense of right or wrong! It is already bad enough when such expressions are uttered and articulated, but allowing to be written is, in my humble opinion, diabolical, bad, offensive, unrighteous, immoral, and irresponsible from you and all who spell it out. I also think the responsibility lies squarely with the authorities who remain passive to such realities. I don’t think that the rules of freedom of expression meant to include such vulgar expressions that distort sense of respect when there is diversity in opinion. I could have chosen to ignore your articles and comments but thought of sharing my views. I am no Saint or scrupulous, But I hate to see (what I believe) further deterioration in our society, including the instigation of hatred.

    [Daphne – Ooooh, find a girl to tie up and beat, why don’t you. They’re all over the place now, fantasising about handcuffs, apparently. But you’ll need a helicopter and a few billion in the bank. It’s nice to know we’re exporting ageing Maltese chauvinists.]

    On August 30th the Times featured an opinion piece by Joe Grima entitled ‘Closure For Everyone’. Joe Grima represents everything that is hideous about Labour of the ’80s and has reminded us that unfortunately that spirit is still alive and kicking.

    Besides his thuggish behavior in his attack on Fr Lucie-Smith, the sheer utter audacity of the man is something else. First of all – the title of his article. He does not speak for all of us. He has no right to. At best this article should have been called ‘ Closure for Labour’. For the other half of the country who do not share the same adulation for Mintoff that Grima so evidently has, there still is no closure. Until such time that people like Grima run roughshod over the pain that was caused to so many people, there cannot be closure. Perhaps to Grima the only people that count are Mintoffjani. Is that his ‘everyone’. This is not too different from Joseph Muscat talking about Mintoff being the father of the nation. He most certainly is not. There never has been a more divisive figure in Maltese politics. Remember “min mhux maghna kontra taghna”or “biex thobb il-familja trid tkun socjalist”. A father to the Mintoffjani perhaps – but most certainly not to all the Maltese people. For every man who adores him, I can show at least one other that abhors him. Mintoff sowed this division. He nurtured it. It is how he controlled the country. He followed the British maxim ‘ Divide and rule’ – and rule with an iron fist he did. Except for those on who he relied to instill fear in the rest of us. Those could do whatever they pleased.

    Grima then goes on to boast that he sent Fr Lucie Smith packing. He did no such thing. He swore and insulted him. Hardly something to be proud of. That there were a few people who applauded him simply means that there are others in this forsaken country who are intolerant of others who have a different opinion to their own. Is it so difficult to disagree with someone agreeably, with well reasoned argument – or is the subject matter so void of reason that one can only resort to expletives? One would have thought that with the exposure Mr Grima has had to discussion he should have been able to be imaginative enough to come up with some argument (as indeed he has in his article on the Times) rather than to stoop as low as he did on his facebook page. That Grima persists to refuse to profer an apology even with the benefit of hindsight, shows that his arrogance matches his girth.

    But imagination is something Grima is not lacking. He says of Mintoff “Faithful to his record as a catalyst for peace”. What planet is he living on? Mintoff loved confrontation. If there was no fight, there was no success as far as he was concerned. The fight is what made the battle worthwhile.

    There are so many statements made in this article that I could criticise that I could go on and on. His assertion that there was no previous intent on the part of Muscat when he kissed the coffin – how does he know ? is he in Muscat’s head? The misplaced pleasure he felt in hearing Mintoff’s name being shouted in the Cathedral – just like the spiteful schoolyard bully stating ‘hekk hu go fik’ – and so on and on……..but I do have other things to do. I think my point is made. Shame on you Mr Grima. You should have long gone and hung your head in shame but it is clear that you and your ilk have no understanding of the basic tenets of human decency.

    It is the attempts of the likes of Grima to rewrite history that is irking so many. There are many who like myself disliked Mintoff’s methods immensely but would have kept silent at his death out of respect for those who adored the man. But the latter could not simply bury the man in a dignified manner. They have felt the need to ram this occasion down our throat and their insistence that their grief is all of ours is too much to bear. I usually do not like to speak ill of the dead, so in a situation like this I would normally prefer to say nothing. The likes of Grima and his leader Joseph Muscat, make that impossible.
