The Jeffrey-Joseph-and-Franco act is on again

This Mintoff pic – so appropriate for a story about Jeffrey and Franco

The government has shelved its plans for the privatisation of public car parks, but the Opposition still wants to debate its motion against those plans.

So how about that?

Jeffrey and Franco, two men who would be described in Britain as c**ts (this blog is read by people in their early teens too, apparently, hence the asterisks), have joined in as expected.

Dom Mintoff would have been proud of his spiritual disciples: sociopathic individuals using their seat in parliament to exorcise their personal demons.

Jeffrey no longer answers to the PN whip, anyway – not that he ever bothered about that – and was last seen driving about Gozo when the Labour ‘kungress’ opened there, packed into an open convertible with Robert Musumeci and their Labour women, Magistrate Consuelo Herrera (in tight white jeans, God help us all) and Carmen….oh yes, Pullicino Orlando, plus a strange man.

Franco has completely lost it, even to the point where he is not too embarrassed to admit that he will vote against the Budget (which he hasn’t even seen yet) as a personal vendetta, in the same way he voted against the Minister of Justice (“Ha, hu go fik!”).

I hope they both live happily ever after, and I mean it because whatever personal hell has blighted their lives, a personal hell which they have projected onto others as the cause, the situation is not sustainable without a slow or even rapid decline into even greater psychological misery.

And no amount of partying or pretending to be hip is going to cover that up. On the contrary, it serves as evidence of shattered peace of mind.

    Franco is seriously delusional. In his words, today’s situation is comparable to 1986, when Eddie Fenech Adami gave his famous impromptu budget speech in the wake of Raymond Caruana’s murder by Labour thugs.

    If they were women, the media would have been bursting at the seams with sexist gags about PMT, the menopause, bitch-fights and look-what-happens-when-you-put-women-in-positions-of-responsibility.

    Time will tell and we will eventually have an explanation for Debono’s and Pullicino Orlando’s behaviour. Why are they helping Muscat? What’s in it for them?

    [Daphne – We all know by now what’s in it for Jeffrey. Franco is just the fall-guy, about to be hoist by his own petard. The idiot.]

    As to the back of a bus in tight white jeans, il-vera kaz li tghid kuntenta bil-warrani.

    Anyone still think Joseph has something to offer? He just can’t afford another six months.

    Driving around Gozo eh? So many pretty unspoilt valleys.

    Lunch at Astrid’s perhaps?

      Labour has nothing to offer except pettiness and parochialism. Dr. Gonzi is right and he is the man with a vision and not Muscat.

      “It would be an anti-climax, Dr Gonzi said, if, during such a historic event as the 5=5 meeting, Malta ended up discussing parking.” (The Times)

    Why are you so worried about about these men and their families?

    Why do you worry about them and what they do politically? There must be something between you and these people.

    [Daphne – Are you for real? These are two men holding the affairs of state hostage, making parliament their vendetta playground and now threatening to bring down the government YET AGAIN, the other one is already leader of the Opposition and will soon be running the country, and you ask me why I am concerned about their behaviour?]

    La Haine AKA as Hate. A great 1995 movie about ‘Hate’ and how hatred breeds hatred.

    Its what has happened with these individuals, and as you say the actions of Debono and JPOS are a manifestation of their personal living hell.

    As for Mugliett he still has his practice to lose which is still ticking along while the other two are finished white trash.

  7. Interested Bystander says:

    What about JPO and the threat to his life, hence the bodyguards?
