Was anyone really considering reconciliation with this neurotic freak?
Mr Several Screws Loose has a chilli pepper up his butt again because lots of people – including the Nationalist Party itself – jumped on the notion that he might be put on the party list in return for voting in favour of the Budget.
The simple truth of the matter, and this seems to be very difficult for some people to understand, is that key segments of the PN’s voter base would rather see the party lose the election while keeping its dignity and stonewalling a couple of bastards than see the party humiliate and embarrass itself further and still lose the election anyway.
Franco Debono isn’t normal, and when dealing with abnormal people, the usual rules don’t apply. His idea of reconciliation is a hawker’s bargain or a Cosa Nostra deal: you give me this and I’ll give you that.
He is incapable of regret, introspection and self-doubt (all of which, incidentally, are classic hallmarks of real intelligence), which means that he is incapable of understanding what he did wrong and what he must now do right so to make amends and show good will.
Instead, we get this post on his blog today.
They want war? They will have it.
They are becoming worse than the worst dictators. Bans flying around like boomerangs. They are scared stiff to let me face the electorate because they know I have support.
They don’t want reconciliation? They they should forget the Budget. It’s either Austin Gatt or the Budget. Lanqas jekk il-Budget ikun fih il-manna, Austin Gatt se jcahhdek minnu.
Do you see what I mean? He’s going to vote against the Budget because he hates Austin Gatt. But it’s not he who is depriving people of the contents of the Budget (or the government) but Austin Gatt.
He votes against the Budget. He brings down the government. And he actually believes that he is not responsible for either his actions or their consequences, that it is Gatt’s fault for not obeying him and bowing out.
I am not a psychiatrist, but I did raise a few children and so I know that parents are told to be concerned if, beyond the age of five or so, their children are still hitting others and saying (and believing) that it is not their fault because the other one made them do it.
This is a man of almost 40, and there is something very seriously wrong with him. Any attempt at discussing him in any terms or context other than as a psychiatric case is doomed and flawed at the outset.

The looney is about to declare war on the PN…..maaa x’biza.
The saddest part of all this is that his behaviour is considered normal in Malta. In my place of work, there are a few of such characters and they seem to get what they want more than others do.
I hope he lives a long life, because it’s going to be a miserable one.
“His idea of reconciliation is a hawker’s bargain or a Cosa Nostra deal”. You couldn’t have put it better. Affari Taghna literally translates into Cosa Nostra.
The rot set in when when Gonzi and his missus crawled over to Mrs Debono’s sala to appease the spoilt St Aloysius shit.
I cannot believe how a person can cause so much damage to himself, and publicly like this. It’s just unbelievable that he actually seriously thinks he is minister material.
‘Lanqas jekk il-Budget ikun fih il-manna, Austin Gatt se jcahhdek minnu.’
Franco, Austin Gatt mhux se jivvota kontra l-budget.
Mental. Totally.
The lomger the PN keeps dilly dallying about Franco, the more harm the PN is going to suffer – GET RID OF HIM quick, if not quicker
Gonzi on Xarabank is superb. I have flicked for a moment to One -nauseating. Gonzi difnu lil Muscat.

Agreed.
My first comment on Franco Debono, months ago, before the symptoms got really bad, was “I would never have such a person on my team.”
His behaviour since then has only confirmed this opinion. He has been humoured for far too long to no benefit to Malta, parliament, his party or himself.
Mr Narcissus aka Mr Motions, aka Mr Solutions has a new target. He is now firing at Jason Azzopardi. Reconciliation? My foot!
Does Franco mean ‘rikonciljazzjoni’, or does he mean ‘rikatt’?
It is about time this veritable prick be expelled from the Nationalist Party.
‘They want war’, he says.
Little does he realise that “they” is the PN.
The most formidable political movement in the history of these islands, by far.
As if the PN would want war with a psychotic Klinefelter.
Wishful thinking.
The PN has had its wars and invariably came up trumps.
He should be bumped off (metaphorically speaking, of course). And the sooner the better.
Textbook sociopath.
I think that on the voting day of the Budget we will have a tomatina, with no prizes for guessing who the target will be.
I think I have the right to egg a candidate who is misrepresenting me. There’s no other way left for me to show my disapproval against this dreadfui narcissist.
At least I can tell him “Hekk, hu go fik halli tara kemm il-poplu kien mieghek!”
It seems that Franco Debono’s idea of “reconcilliation” is that everyone needs to reconcile with him, the true “dictator” if there ever was one.
For the same reasons that reconcilliation is sometimes impossible between a married couple, divorce becomes necessary with the abuse and bullying from the other. In such a case, only one responsible and integral party needs to initiate the divorce for the benefit of the ” greater whole”, even as the other party may be insisting upon and demanding “reconcilliation” from the other.
Reconcilliation is only possible when, in humility and truth, one recognizes the injury and harm one has caused to the other(s), and one asks for mercy and forgiveness regarding the injury or destruction left by one’s previous course of devastation.
The devastation cannot be repaired, but only grieved; and the injuring party has to capitulate entirely to the terms of the injured – in Franco’s case, not only with the PN but with the country as a whole.
I don’t think Malta (except for elements of the Opposition, who would at the risk of highlighting their own deficiencies) is willing to ever forgive Franco Debono, unless he would be capable of self-insight, beginning with his parliamentary resignation and a long, long period of rehabilitation away from politics.
Then, in some remote future, reconciliation may become possible for a “mature” and “responsible” Franco Debono, if he should ever again aspire to politics as a quality of service, and not of ego.
This too seems to be the meaning of Simon Busuttil’s recent comments. As a practical matter, given Franco Debono’s general indispositions regarding reconcilliation, it seems more likely for hell to freeze over first.
what a plonker
20000 new jobs –
I’m afraid when one comes to the stage of believing his own lies, it’s time to seek help.
It’s not a lie.
Today’s online Maltatoday article reads “Busuttil ‘the uniting force’ enjoys Franco Debono’s support”.
As if Franco is someone.
Franco is a “nobody” in the PN and Franco’s support for Busuttil means NOTHING, Sur Saviour Balzan.
