Even as they use him, Labour should be ashamed of him
Debono added that parliament has now experienced “a revolution” where it had regained its supremacy.
– Malta Today, yesterday
Franco Debono’s language and choice of words are uncannily similar to those used by the extreme-left-wing European terrorists of the 70s – most notably the Brigate Rosse and the Baader Meinhof.
This is a type of mind which exalts what it defines as the ‘sublime’ and ‘pure’, to the extent that it completely ignores the atrocities required to try to achieve that imagined sublime purity.
In such minds, right and wrong is never an issue because the question is pre-determined by the overarching goal. Getting to that goal is a mere formality, even though it might produce a pool of blood (in the terrorists’ case) or mean handing over the government to Joseph Muscat and his cronies (in the case of Debono and his pure hatred of the PM and others he perceives as having harmed him).

With three exceptions: they were probably half his age, lived at a time when the world (world, not village) was truly polarised, and they usually picked on issues that appeared to be worth fight for.
What this cock lover doing other than bringing down the government to spite Manuel Delia ghax hadlu postu?
His obsession with parliamentary supremacy is particularly nasty.
Fundamentally totalitarian, given that he also has a problem with the autonomous organisation of political parties.
Franco ignores the fact that in his beloved repubblica, the second ‘party’ at the polls is a website calling for the removal of MP’s from the democratic process. Who needs them if there’s the internet?
What second party?
Movimento Cinque Stelle.
Now, more than ever, I realise and understand why THE PRIME MINISTER never appointed this diva to the cabinet.
This man will be responsible for the ruin of Malta.
The moment that Parliament regains its supremacy according to Franco, it’s time to dissolve it.
Daphne: You had told me that you do not take part in debates because you wouldn’t be paid. which means that you only write what you do because you are being paid.
[Daphne – That’s not what I said, Mr Privitera. I said that I am perfectly happy writing this blog without being paid because I really enjoy it. It’s the equivalent of what golf or bridge is for other people. But I am not going to do something I don’t enjoy, and which serves me no sales purpose or other benefit, unless I am paid. That’s perfectly normal, and everyone is the same. Exactly WHY would I bother spending a couple of hours on a television show, when I don’t enjoy it, don’t need to raise my profile, have nothing to sell, and am not being paid to do it? I mean, I know you’re a Labour voter, but do try and think occasionally.]
No wonder you see Franco Debono as a financial threat, not just to GonziPN and the Oligarchy, but to you personally and your husband, perhaps ?
[Daphne – You must be joking, you ruddy stupid twerp. I repeat: I work only in the private sector. In fact, the stupidly evil party you support actually asked a couple of parliamentary questions about how much I earned off the government over the last several years, and when told ‘nothing’, you will notice that they didn’t run it as a Super One mega-headline, as they planned to do. They dropped it completely and ran a campaign of insinuations instead, which cretins like you swallow whole. Ghax trid tkun il-vera kretin, ha nghidlek. Bniedem stupidu, antipatiku u injorant pessmu. I certainly do not regard Franco Debono as a financial threat. I regard him as a thoroughly ill bred, vicious little man whose background, upbringing and personality traits can’t be disguised or negated by a law degree and a suit. The worst parts of Valletta were stuffed full of men like him, flicking their knives at each other, three or four decades ago. He’s no different.]
Daphne, I repeat, please do not respond to this old fart. It is a useless endeavour.
OK, we can all laugh at his hillarious, mindless scribblings. And he is a perfect indicator of a future Labouir government.
Can the thinkers pease think?
My grand kids need the future they enjoy at present.
Why put in a group.of proven fuck-ups?
Harry Purdie: Your ” grand kids ” don’t have a “grand-dad” they can look up to with your kind of language ! Let’s see whether you practice what you preached to Daphne – not to respond to me .

[Daphne – No, in fact he hasn’t. He is merely an occasional consultant to the Lands Department, on property law, which is entirely to be expected given that he is probably Malta’s leading expert on the subject. Perhaps you would like the Lands Department to consult with somebody who knows less, just as long as he is not ir-ragel ta’ Daphne. And my husband’s income has nothing to do with me in any case, so your speculation is irrelevant. I am entirely self-supporting and have always been.]
Daphne: You would certainly not enjoy appearing on TV in political debates. You would be made to look a nonentity and nincompoop !
[Daphne – Not at all. I have a distinct advantage: I never allow men to talk over me as they talk over each other.]
I thought about Franco Debono today.
I followed on the net the entire interview by Alan Macfarlane of JBG in 2008.
This lasted so long that my wife threatened me with microwaving my lunch to keep it warm.
Alan, the renowned Cambridge historian and anthropologist, interviewed Gurdon at great length. It was almost autobiographical.
John Gurdon has today got what he has long deserved.
The Nobel for medicine (or physiology).
The Nobel committee citation is unequivocal.
“Revolutionised science”. And what a citation that is.
Where does Franco come in ?
Gurdon gleefully remarked, in the course of the interview, that his science master at Eton wrote him off completely as a hopeless case.
No Form 2 results and top marks here. No top student.
Just the world’s greatest living biologist.
I just could not help thinking of poor Franco.

[Daphne – Franco’s school report syndrome, but in reverse.]
Anthony, got the same shit from my thesis advisor first time around.. Re-jigged it a bit, was accepted and then successfully defended it.
I congratulate, Gurdon, Wish I had his talent.
However, we have here an out of control, so-called lawyer, who attained a questionable degree, that has disgraced ‘real’ lawyers here.
Does anyone vet ‘lead heads’ before they’re allowed in?
Your remarks to Privitera : Supreme – In my opinion “Antipatiku” is the best one.
Antipatiku is just the beginning. This guy has been hogging every inch of newspapers and blogs with his Lejber propaganda for as long as I can remember, and I’m 66 years old.
He once fought a useless battle to get Mintoff to remove the rental value on one’s own home and it was a Nationalist government that eventually did it for him. And was he grateful for it? You guess.
Elephant: Jien cert li ghalikhom ta’ GonziPN jien ” antipatiku “. La nikteb affarijiet li f’qalbkhom tafu li nkun qed nghid il-verita, bilfors li tarawni ” antipatiku”. Ara jien lilkhom nghidilkhom IMSIEKEN, ghax ma tafux lil min qed tappoggjaw.IL-LEJLA GHANDKHOM CANS IEHOR ISSIRU TAFU. FRANCO SE JKUN FUQ ONE TV FID- 9.45 PM.

Another one who’s just declared he intends to vote against the budget to spite the country. He simply doesn’t have the intellectual honesty to admit it.
