Ah, the Labour line to counter ‘Anglu is afraid of Simon’: ‘Simon is afraid of Franco’. Right. Good luck with that.

Watch the TVM clip in the link I’ve posted below. Busuttil’s handling of the situation is just perfect.
Can the Labour Party give its reporters a bit of training? That sort of pointless and rude aggression is so very yesterday.

Simon’s cool and posture is awesome.
So remote from anything Labourr can come up with.
At this point raw footage and unreal situations have become their content and message.
Reality TV relies on the curiosity of viewers to dismantle the persona. problem is, they thought Simon Busuttil is a fake.
That repetitive taunt is Joseph’s hallmark. I remember him interrupting Fenech Adami in 2003, scribbling some slogan on a piece of A4 paper and holding up to the camera.
Our prime minister. Berlusconi could learn a thing or two.
The Times got it wrong as well.
Title should read:
“PBS stops Xarabank debate as Anglu Farrugia fails to turn up.”

One of the first clips which I saw on The Times was that of Franco saying that the paper supported Tonio and “kumbinazzjoni”, Mario Demarco supported him and that is why the paper “kumbinazzjoni” supported Tonio.
First of all, I think Franco thinks that all people act like he does.
Secondly The Times should check exactly who mark borg is, I suspect it’s Franco.
Thirdly The Times should be more precise in its reports, and stop being a tabloid.
Franco is proving to be a very useful idiot for Labour.
Well done, Simon, for keeping your cool. Perfect example now a politician can handle situations without shouting and in a perfectly calm collected way.
“That sort of pointless and rude aggression is so very yesterday.” – but doesn’t that style of reportage appeal to their supporters?
Not to the floaters for sure.

Watch how rude Franco Debono is, and even more rude is Ramona Attard. I’m scared of them all.
Just watched the whold clip. I’ve rarely seen so many personality disorders rolled into one. University BPsych students please note – you’ve got a whole thesis here.
This is one seriously screwed up individual, currently in near-total meltdown.
Do you remember that video of two women fighting on the bus?
INTI MARA HAZINA.
That’s what Franco is doing here.
OMG… did he really just ask the journalist: INTI WIDNEJK KIF INHUMA?
The last time someone talked to me like that, the guy was fisherman in Marsaxlokk, not a lawyer.
In the old days we used to ask the questionb of nuts like Debono, “fliema razzett trabbejt”?
At 9:11 he questions how well the journalist’s ears work. Unbelievable.
Classy!
Ramona Attard – nice to look at but it stops there.
I sometimes wonder what he thinks of his rants when he comes down off his sugar rushes.
It’s one thing to delete your own blog post and pretend it never happened, but something like this is out there forever.
Fannie Debono shouted out to Simon Busuttil to stop hiding “qiesek wiehed tal-form two”.
[Daphne – Yes, I noticed that. He’s obviously emotionally arrested at the age of 12.]
That was my comment when he blurted out that phrase.
It’s really depressing to see Labour using Franco Debono to try and score points, but obviously it has backfired, though Labour still insist that Simon is afraid of him.
Daphne, that’s because he still lives with mummy.
Emotionally only? Apart from the fact that he was talking like he was sent in the corner
Who’s that Super One hack? What a rude, pestering, unprofessional idiot.
Th one thing that really confuses me is: Why didn’t t they send their other deputy? What’s the point of having two if they aren’t interchangeable?
“What’s the point of having two if they aren’t interchangeable?”
There was a special offer: two for the price of one. You know, the Mintoffian mentality that still pervades in the Labour Party…
For a political party to send an MP from the government’s side, whose ‘use-by’ date is near expiry, to replace their Deputy Leader in a TV debate that had been agreed for weeks, shows a paucity of ideas that is scary.
How can one even have a glimmer of hope that these people could be capable of leading the country in a few months?
Il-kelma Irrelevanti hada wisq go fih.
God save Malta from these idiots because I have no hope in the electorate.
Surely, the Maltese cannot be this stupid to put Malta back by 15 years.
I had a deja vu of the way Joseph Muscat used to behave when facing Eddie Fenech Adami when he was a Super One journalist – not that his mentality changed from those days. I bet my beef that he orchestrated the shit that happened yesterday.
Ghaliex m’affaccjajtux lil Frankie Schiavone? Ghaliex m’affaccjajtux? x 25.
Tal-misthija. Xi tkaxkira hadu l-Labour biha din.
How rude that woman is. Are we supposed to be impressed?
My God I have a voice in my head who keeps on saying “Ghax ma iffacjatux lil Franco Debono….”
From Labour’s abysmal inadequacy to Franco’s (sp?) tiresome lunacy to Simon Busuttil superb Innere Führing, I’ve written it all before. So I thought I might just pop in here with another Yuletide joke:
– Knock knock.
– Who’s there?
– Labour.
The Barge-In-and Hurl Insults nonentitiy knows what “wiehed tal-Form II” means – he has a certificate (rather faded and re-folded by now) to prove it.
Alla hares ma kienx dan Ciccio Franco Debono ghax dak inhar veru kienet tispicca d-dinja.
Mhux ovvja ga ladarba din iddur fuqu. Nissuggerixxi lil Mario Micallef sabiex wara li jispicca minn Caravaggio jdur ghall-Kummiedja Tragika Ciccio Franco ta’ Hal Ghaxaq.
Why didn’t she just hit him with the microphone?
Xi bzieq ta’ nies.
Two rubbish parties, two rubbish and spineless deputy leaders and two skips heaped to the top with stinking trash
This is excatly similar to when Joseph Muscat was heckling Dr. Eddie Fenech Adami during or after the EU referendum.
You can post the two videos together so that your readers can see for themselves.
Italy’s Parliament included Cicciolina, while the Maltese Parliament includes the tandem Joseph Muscat / Franco Debono.
il-Labour iboss b’sorm Franco Debono.
Hekk ghidlu, biex jippretendi li jiehu post Kurt.
He just did, Franco’s on One tonight, providing live comment to the debate on PBS.
Where do they get them?
Simon showed how well he can handle the situation without being aggressive and rude, but with politeness and good manners.
This is a tactic that pisses Labour off, as they don’t how to deal with it. Rise above and piss them off, Simon.
PM material.
What is that presenter from One’s name?! She is more annoying than Charlon.
Somebody should tell the annoying Super One reporter that wearing designer eyewear does not make her intelligent.
As soon as she opens her mouth, her lack of manners and background are immediately revealed.
The MLP has been reduced to posturing and image design – a few handbags a la Eva Peron and a few blue ties will never replace real policies.
do you really live on the island of malta ?? As how you all speak is like malta does not really need any change , and like all is perfect . Than it really depends on how much you are sucking and stealing maybe. How you can point fingers on franco as he is really thinking and speaking in you and your family but this dictatorship you are very fanatics to are all available.
Is this the best reporter PL could send to tackle such a sensitive and important matter?
Is this the only question she had to ask to Simon “if he is afraid of Anglu”.
PL has to get hold of its media strategy if they want to keep the advantage on PN. Such behavior from a journalist and moves as sending Franco instead of Anglu may very well go well will hard-line Labor supporters but it does very little to persuade the floating voters to vote for PL instead of PN
