Franco Debono currently has a post going up in disparate bits

Published: October 12, 2012 at 12:21pm

It’s interesting, because it has clearly been written in disparate bits, too, and by at least two different people: Franco himself and another person.

Some paragraphs are idiomatic and use the correct tenses, though perhaps with the occasional typo which is the result of inexpert typing and no proofing.

Other paragraphs display an almost hysterical level of anxiety and are barely coherent, using very clumsy ‘Maltese English’.

The latest paragraph to go up is the one shown here, in which Gonzi will, apparently, go down in history as Malta’s Hitler because he was cruel to a seriously neurotic member of parliament.

Now he’s even changed the title, to make it more dramatic and exciting (and presumably, to further erode his last remaining vestiges of credibility).

    And now he’s even changed the title.

    It’s interesting to see what he chooses to highlight. So, in a blog post about election dates, the most important thing to Franco Debono is … Franco Debono.

      And it’s probably all because there was only one beautiful baby in the world, and Franco Debono’s mother had it.

    Yet more proof that Debono is crazy. No politician in his right mind would ever accuse another politician of being Hitler.

    It also shows lack of sensitivity towards those who suffered the consequences of Hitler’s regime, lack of historical understanding and a gross inability to put things within their proper perspective.

    Franco Debono, the more you talk the more you prove to the general public that you are in sore need of a good psychiatrist.

    And then this neurotic person took offence because I called him a blackmailer.

    He has such a confused mind that he sees no offence and no breaking of privilege rules when he calls the prime minister Hitler. He takes offence when others use far smaller insults in his regard. What a cheap and nasty little man.

    I long for the day when this idiot passes into oblivion.

  5. Tinnat says:

    He IS mentally not there, isn’t he? This is not the sign of a human being behaving normally.

  6. Grosvenor says:

    Dear Lord, please never let me end up like him.

  7. David S says:

    Franco Debono calling the Prime Minister Hitler is OK, but asking whether his house is up for sale is not, because he requested the Police Commissioner to start criminal investigations by means of the Police Cyber Crime Unit, with a view to prosecution, for that.

    Oh what a country. It appears that Debono has even Commissioner Rizzo by the balls.

  8. Pat says:

    Let us analyse this.

    “I am in no hurry to lose my paliamentary seat”.

    That’s pretty obvious – and yet he says that Gonzi’s clinging to power.

    “The national interest dictated an election last March…”

    All he had to do was vote against the Government in one of the many no-confidence votes, but he did not.

    Can I therefore take it that his actions are not in the national interest?

    Maybe he’s schizophrenic?

    [Daphne – Of course not, my goodness. The symptoms of schizophrenia are completely different, and it would have been impossible for him to reach the age of almost 40 without schizophrenia being diagnosed and treated accordingly, anyway. He certainly would not have been able to sit in parliament. It would be unconstitutional. It’s a very serious psychiatric condition and not to be joked about.]

    It appears that Franco Debono is unaware that if the Budget is not approved within the normal time-frame, the government will not be in a position to pay salaries, contractors, suppliers, pensions and social benefits. The whole country will grind to a halt and then hello bail-out by Brussels.

  11. James Borg says:

    He may not be in a hurry to lose his parliamentary seat, but boy are we all looking forward to seeing the back of this awful and unbearable man as he consigns himself to the dustibin of political history.

  12. Ghoxrin Punt says:

    And the typical lawyer that he is, sorry correction, ignorant lawyer that he is, believes that a Labour government can put a budget together within a couple of weeks of being elected. He does realised, doesn’t he, that if this budget does not go through we are going to be left without a budget for 2013.

    And then I wonder were Labour is going to get the money to pay for all its hollow promises.

  13. Ghoxrin Punt says:

    And if I might add, had Gonzi called the election before summer we would be facing a reality of an incompetent Government without the experience to come up with a budget.

    Of course, Muscat does not want an election. He needs to see the budget to be able to happily implement it and then blame the Nationalists when he loses control of it. Which he will, because Labour doesn’t work.
