Giorgio Borg Olivier was elegant in every circumstance. Even more so in adversity and defeat.

JPO, well, within a couple of months he will be the a mere addendum to a Labour activist. Borg Olivier worked for a nation to earn respect dignity and identity. JPO —a total non-entity in every way, including dentistry.

Well, what can I say? Was JPO around to savour what Gorg was? I don’t think so.

So what’s this about passing judgement on someone you never knew? How did he know what charisma Borg Olivier possessed?

In reply to David S. I was there in person with my late father on that joyous day and yes Borg Olivier had style and class by the bucketful that this nincompoop dentist can only dream about of having for himself.

Dan qatt iltaqa’ ma George Borg Olivier għax naħseb li meta miet Gorg, JPO kien għadu jagħmel fil-ħarqa. Jekk qatt ma iltaqa’ miegħu (aħseb u ara kemm kien jafu sew) kif jista’ b’xi mod jkollu d-dritt li jikkonkludi li ma kellux kariżma?

George Borg Olivier had panache and style, unlike JPOS and the Hal Ghaxaq capon, who don’t even know where to begin. They buy expensive clothes, put them on, and call it style.

As though you can buy it in a shop.

“What (Borg Olivier) may have lacked in charisma…. ”

Aaarrrgh.

Perhaps JPO thinks Mintoff had charisma – dak il-pastazun bil-hdura kontra s-sinjur.

From one of Mintoff’s famous budget speeches:

“Ghaliex ix-xita tinzel mis-sema u mhux titla mill-art? Ghax inkellha tixxarrablek il-linfa “, ‘linfa’ being his word for what the British call ‘family jewels’.

George Borg Olivier was a unwavering in his beliefs, a true visionary, elegant and with impeccable manners. He was a true statesman, like whom Malta has had no other.

And he never sat next to his driver.
