As my grand-daughter would say, ‘He’s so funnnny.’

His body has aged while his brain has remained stuck in Form II C.

He actually commented “mhux hu beda” regarding his diatribe with Joseph Calleja. How childish is that?

Jung and Freud would have had a field day trying to dig into the traumatic event which he must have experienced in Form IIC and which left him stuck there until the ripe age of forty.

Others flourish in a local library.

Franco carries typical traits common to the Maltese, allowed to persist on an informal level.

Franco simply applied the viciousness to public talk, which we find so shocking.

When Joseph refuses to answer legitimate questions, he’s basically doing the same, it’s just that he declares it isn’t.

My grandma would repeat this everyday, that we learn, ‘Ara qatt ma’ tkunu nkejjuzi u kattivi bhal Maltin’

However, I have never, ever, come across a person like Franco.

Whilst his ego is definitely inflated, he is also a cruel person, devoid of any sense of humour, thinks he is the be all and end all of life and doing his best to convince himself that he is so very clever because effectively he does not need to convince others.

Franco, may I suggest you spend a long time away from Malta and learn how to deal with real life, then come back all the wiser (I hope).
