It’s been going on for months, ever since January, I would say. Children have picked it up and it has spread like wild fire. Cry-babies are referred to as ‘Franco Debono’.

Which brings me to something else. Do you remember that educational advert years ago, “Ha noqghod quddiem, ha noqghod quddiem? Le! Post it-tfal huwa wara.” I picture the prime minister and Franco Debono in that.

Now I understand how Debono will be remembered in political mythology. Generations of Maltese children will be using the expression ‘Qisek Franco Debono kemm tiehu ghalik! Hekk hu go fik!’

This is how these things start.

“When could it be said till now that talked of Rome,
That her wide walls encompassed but one man?
Now is it Rome indeed and room enough,
When there is in it but only one man.”

(With apologies to Shakespeare, our Parliament and the raging bull in a china shop)

Ghad irid nisma kelma minghand Franco Debono rigward id-drittijiet tal-‘victims of crime’ ghax sa issa hlief fuq id-drittijiet tal-kriminali ma smajniex minghandu.

“At this rate, he runs the risk of embarrassing the Labour Party by association.”

Just today I was thinking how the PL always needs help from outsiders to get anything done.

The name Franco Debono has become the laughing stock of society. I’ve even heard children teasing each other ‘qisek Franco Debono’.

He has presented more motions against the Government than the opposition has done. He should be ashamed of himself.

Dom Mintoff did not present any motion against the government between 1996 and 1998, even though he had many problems with Sant and finally voted him out.
