Franco Debono: the perfect illustration of the maxim that breeding will out

Published: October 8, 2012 at 1:21am

Il-vera bniedem baxx, miskin. Jista jilbes pony shirts u snazzy suits, u xorta li hu jibqa, bil-mentalita vendikattiva tal-Mafia Sqalli b’kollox.

And what sort of member of parliament pledges himself to vote against the Budget before he even knows what’s in it?

Disgraceful.

All he needs at this stage is a laurel wreath, a bed-sheet, and a roundabout to stand on.

    Kemm qed jikkumentawlu nies fil-website tieghu u qed jghidulu li ghandu biscuits kbar!

    Qed ifakkarni f’dik il-funtana tar-red light district ta’ Amsterdam.

    Min jaf la jitla’ l-Labour, ghadx izidu l-biscuits ta’ Franco mal-monument ta’ quddiem l-ex-Mambra u jkollna funtana bhalha?

    @ Franco Debono

    You, I believe are the most highly qualified cockhead I have ever come across. In my opinion, you even beat this guy hands down: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLRS5mCj8Yg.

    You, and only you have to blame for any forseeable Christmas miseries. You are worse than The Grinch character who stole Christmas – He had style and character.

  3. Harry Purdie says:

    Would that laurel be the cute one of Laurel and and Hardy?

    Frantic Franco appears to weep continuously also.

  4. A. Charles says:

    I have been missing newspaper reports featuring Debono as the defence lawyer of some petty criminal. Will I be right to say that his work as a lawyer is feeling the pinch because of his abysmal and erratic behaviour?

    • giraffa says:

      Quite possible. A relative of mine was going to engage him on a big case, but, having sampled his incredible vindictive behaviour, pulled back in time.

  5. Marie says:

    Franco will vote against the budget not because of its contents but to finally remove those who bother him. It’s the weapon he can use and I believe he will use it.

  6. Daphne: After reading your comment above, about Franco Debono, I need only add: LOOK WHO’S TALKING !

    [Daphne – Exactly, Mr Privitera, but I don’t expect you to be able to work that out.]

    • tinnat says:

      Hello Eddy Privitera. You’re going to share your wisdom on this blog too now?

    • A Montebello says:

      Eddy Privitera is one of the finest examples of Mintoffian bitterness and spite.

      [Daphne – And stupidity. Don’t forget the stupidity.]

      He regurgitates his bile on anything remotely Nationalist – including the PN’s successes, of which there are many.

      He is currently lauding Franco Debono on his blog, inciting him to do his worst, etc – and the self-absorbed prick is interpreting those spiteful pats on the back as genuine encouragement.

      I can’t help picturing a lonely, embittered old man with bad teeth and hairy ears, scratching away with his quill and parchment – a cross between Scrooge and Rampulstilskin – and spreading as much poison and misery as possible.

      Every time I see his name it is an assurance why I will never be able to vote Labour.

      • Daphne: probably you recognize stupidity because you are an expert at making stupid arguments.

        A.Montebello: I have not been called “The King of Bile”, but Daphne has been bestowed that honour by Saviour Balzan of Malta Today.

        The “old man” you refer to still does 1/2 hour non-stop swimming 3 times a week on average throughout the year. I hour cycling at home and long walks in winter. I wonder whether you are able to do half of what I do!

        Your type will obviously vote GonziPN. Corruption and incompetence do not seem to affect you at all !

      • Jozef says:

        Urina ritratt liebes l-ispeedos.

    • Manuel says:

      Wow! Eddy Gandalf Privitera on your blog? Mela keccewh tat-Times? Pathetic old fool.

      This is the same guy who glorifies the Mintoffian era.

      This is the person who supports even the slightest sign of a fart from Debono hoping that the Sicilian-tipo-dottore will bring the government down.

      Since Privitera knows that his new idol Joseph Muscat cannot do that on his own, he tries to flirt with Franco on each blog that he manages to find, just to provide him with enough wood for his fire.

      And he tells YOU ‘Look who’s talking”? What a nerve.

      • ray says:

        This is the idiot who was/is against EU and did not vote against it during the referendum. Goes to show what a pathetic old fart he is.

      • No wonder you and the rest of GonziPN bloggers hide your name- probably in shame at supporting such a corrupt and irresponsible administration !

      • mattie says:

        E.P. ser toqghod tiftahar ghax taghmel nofs siegha swimming ‘three times a week’. Naf min jerfa l-weights ta’ l-eta tieghek.

        Ma tantx jidher li halla effett pozittiv fuqek l-isports ghax lura kont u lura bqajt. Nies li jipprattikaw l-isports nafhom bhala nies intelligenti b’mohh miftuh u sabih.

  7. chully says:

    I cannot beleive my own eyes. Shame

  8. Tom says:

    No news, Daphne, move on, it’s time to analyse how and why an obvious self-centred, immature individual with a borderline personality came to hold the government hostage.

    Don’t pander to him as a ‘self-made man’, look back and try to understand why the PN vetting process failed to recognize the loony side early on (I know I did, just an average Joe).

  9. maryanne says:

    He’s like Labour, he’s EAGER for the election to be announced.

    If I were the prime minister I would set a date for the election but not before Christmas. An end of January election would be fine so that business won’t be disrupted. How about that, Franco?

    I stand to be corrected but I think a government can pass a ‘mini budget’ until the election is over, This would help it pay the necessary basics like wages and pensions.

    U malajr innehijilhom l-eagerness kollha.

    • Tistghu tghidulna almenu, x’jisimha l-kolla li Gonzi mwahhal biha mas-siggu tal-poter ?

    • ciccio says:

      I do not think the government should present any budget at all unless it presents the proper one.

      Let Franco Debono disrupt the process if he will. Do not do anything to accommodate him.

      And I do not think setting an election date for January will make Christmas any easier.

      If he wants to act like that same little boy who wanted to deliver the ‘priedka tat-tifel’ and made a scene to get his way, let him behave like that. Sadly (for us all), he never grew up.

  10. canon says:

    Franco Debono is envy of Lawrence Gonzi’s achievements. If Franco was patient ,one day he would have had his successes. Now he lost his opportunity and has only the Form IIC certificate to show.

  11. Il-Kajboj says:

    Franco’s blog laughed out of court:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsFesaWAXrc

  12. S Borg says:

    I wonder

    1. if Franco would have still been talking about the evil clique if he had been appointed Minister;

    2. why Franco wanted to be appointed Minister if he knew that there was so much evil all around him;

    3. why Franco is still omni-present in Parliament if he is so appalled by all this evil.

  13. Rover says:

    What a sick little man. He is so consumed with hatred, jealousy and hdura. He would have the honour of being chosen as a test case in psychiatry classrooms.

  14. Francis Saliba says:

    No one approaches Mintoff’s MLP for its obsession to ruin our Christmases, one after another, appealing to us to tighten our belt once more because the cake he promised us he was still baking but which we never saw – apart from a tin of sardine added to our rations.

  15. Joe Azzopardi says:

    Soon, very soon he will be a thing from the past. A nullity.

  16. Lestrade says:

    There is still Dr Joe Cassar on his hit list.

  17. Qed niskanta kif dawn il-fans ta’ Daphne u GonziPN ma jurux isimhom. Jghidu tant li qed nghixu fil-liberta. U ghandna l-liberta tal-espressjoni etc…, imbaghad jibzghu juru isimhom ? Jew forsi jimbarazzaw irwiehom juru li qeghdin jappoggjaw din l-Oligarkija u Klikka tal-Hazen, kif iddiskriviha Franco Debono ??

    • ray says:

      Qed nibzaw mil-vendikazzjonijiet li ser taghmlu is-sena d-diehla.

      • Mela qtajt qalbek diga minn GonziPN?

        Il-vendikazzjonijiet naf nikteb dwarhom aktar minnek, ghax sofrejthom ghal snin shah kemm taht eddie Fenech ADami, u anki taht GonziPN !

    • A. Charles says:

      Dan huwa ismi u nahdem iz-Zejtun. Kullhadd jaf minn jien.

      • Just like Lawrence Gonzi !

        A. Charles: Jekk dak hu ismek, prosit ! Jien qed nghid ghal dawk li jahbu u isimhom, meta jiftahru bil-liberta etc…

      • ciccio says:

        Sur Privitera, l-isem mhux importanti. Infatti jista’ jkun jismek Eddy Laiviera, l-importanti huwa l-argument li taghmel. Jien ma nafx min int, u anqas jinteressani.

        Mhux l-istess irid jinghad dwar il-partit tieghek, li dejjem irid jaghmel vendikazzjoni politika mill-avversarji.

        Illum rajt lil siehbek Konrad Mizzi fuq TV-Hemm. Kien qisu ragel ifferocjat, kwazi qam minn fuq is-siggu biex jirrispondi lil Dr. Simon Busuttil li qaghad kalm u garbat.

        Il-bierah rajt lil Mrs. Coleiro Preca, hin-kollu trid tghid taghha biss fuq programm tal-iSmash.

        Ghadkom wisq tridu tikkontrollaw lil kulhadd, dejjem, kullimkien, b’kull mezz.

  18. Jozef says:

    I find it so insipid when he tries to pass responsibility for his actions onto someone else.

    Where’s HIS accountability?

    Nothing can clear him from the fact that he intends to vote against a budget without even knowing its contents. That, I think, makes his position untenable and no amount of courtroom type brawling will see to it.

    Does he realise he’s put himself in an extremely ugly position? I expect the degeneration to evolve, the only good thing being the opposition exposing its limits, contaminating itself with his self-destruction.

    Joseph’s coming across as someone willing to sacrifice the country to save himself. A budget is an essential necessity, insisting on what we’ve seen last February at this point in time is the worst thing he can do. Even because it confirms what we’ve suspected all along – he wants to avoid the electoral campaign. A bit like his election to leader then.

    Deborah Schembri said Joseph’s vision is to unite the country, I say this is quite a novel way of doing it.

  19. Matt says:

    No doubt, Franco went down in the history books as one of the most vindictive politicians this country has ever seen.

  20. Mark M says:

    Franco Debono needs to be asked, just for the record, what in his opinion would be a good budget.

  21. mattie says:

    Clothes do not make the man.

  22. verita says:

    Will somebody be good enough to answer my query? When finally EX MP Franco Debono leaves us in peace will he be entitled to an MP’s pension ?

    • Toyger says:

      I’m not sure, but I think one has to be elected for two legislatures to be eligible for an MP’s pension. Daphne, correct me if I’m wrong.

      [Daphne – I have no idea.]

      • Iva, zewg legislaturi, ghalkemm minghalija li m’hemmx bzonn li l-legfislatura tkun bilfors ta’ 5 snin.

      • ciccio says:

        Skond ma qed jghid is-Sur Privitera, anke jekk legislatura tkun ta’ 22 xahar biss, tikkwalifika bhala wahda minn zewg legislaturi.
        Ma jidhirlix li dan huwa sewwa. X’tahseb int Sur Privitera?

    • Harry Purdie says:

      After his abysmal, sickening, unproductive performance over this legislature, he should be made to pay back his MP’s salary.

      Even if he has to sell his ill-fitting Italian suits and beloved big pony Polo shirts.

  23. canon says:

    Daphne, you need some Baygon to do away with the pest that has infiltrated your blog.

  24. Anthony 1960 says:

    He is trying to do what Nero did.

    Nero played his lyre and started to sing after setting Rome on fire.

  25. giraffa says:

    Dear Dr. Debono, do you realise that your only mention in the political history of Malta will be as the one who dumped Joseph Muscat prematurely on our country, and for sending Malta back into economic woe?

    When you consider what you might have achieved had you played your cards right, it might be enough to send you rushing to your shrink.

  26. M. says:

    If we all pool in to buy him one of these http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2214525/The-Facebook-jacket-hug-likes-you.html, then perhaps we’ll be spared a few of his seemingly attention-seeking antics.

  27. C.Portelli says:

    What do you do for a living, Eddy? You don’t seem you have lots to do in your life.

    [Daphne – The gentleman is retired, though he swims for half an hour every day, spends an hour on his exercise bike daily, and takes long walks in the winter.]
