LIFT – Episode 71 – Il-kokk fajter

Narcissus, as most of us do and Franco definitely should know, had a very unlucky and untimely end – after falling in love with his own image reflected in the lake’s surface.

He sure does, and then goes on to tear those same persons to shreds.

@ The Shadow

Well done, you’ve summed it up perfectly. I was thinking more along the lines of a God complex but his problems are more intricate than that.

He also uses “bir – rispett kollhu” quite a lot .

[Daphne – Oh, that’s a reference to a fishing-trip Calleja took to Scotland with friends who included Steve Mallia, editor of The Sunday Times. Mallia is Debono’s ‘original enemy’. The first fight he had on becoming an MP was with him, as you might recall – when he rang The Sunday Times to shout and argue because in their report they failed to mention that he had unseated Louis Galea and Helen Damato. Calleja and Mallia are good friends, so you can imagine the wheels of hatred and conspiracy turning in Debono’s mind.]

Perfectly put.

No one stands a chance of dealing successfully with Franco.

Narcissists even hold their therapists in contempt. They seek to establish their grandiose superiority and entitlement by playing mind games and by undermining the therapeutic alliance.

Franco is something of a spot diagnosis for people from a medical background, yet many Laburisti and disgruntled Nationalists out there seem to think otherwise.

Could it be that his fixation isn’t actually his mother but rather his father because he is Mr. Ordinary Joe citizen and not a great statesman?
