The reality is that all the good work that has been done by the PN in government has been undone by the ineptitude of the people trusted to run the party. PBO is no match for his counter parties at the MLP. One wonders, what were the PN councillors thinking when they voted him in the post of General Secretary. Joe Saliba he certainly ain’t.

[Daphne – Paul Borg Olivier has not counterpart at the Labour Party. The post of secretary-general was abolished because there was no other way of getting rid of its incumbent.]

I disagree with you on this, Daphne. I just finished watching the entire press conference and all of them are f**ked up, including the one sent by The Times. They are simply amateurs, purposely disingenuous, or subtly intimidated by the MLP.

There is no wit, the Malta Today representative was receiving instructions on her mobile, the two Super one journalists who monopolized the entire press conference were often seen chatting and colluding.

They kept repeating the same questions. Fortunately, they forgot to ask the Minister what he was wearing the day Ray Farrugia gave him the clock.

I am amazed at the calmness of Tonio Fenech during 60 minutes of idiotic questioning.

These reporters won’t even qualify for an unpaid internship with the press corps in Washington DC or London.

IF Labour are elected and once any filter of pretence is thereby lifted, will journalists still be required to serve any function. Will they have a job? Or will we be back to filling seats with numbers to help mount statistics, pay subsidized – rigal tal-Labour tax-xoghol siewi?

Yes. Despite their abysmal performance, tens of thousands voted for Dom Mintoff, Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici, and Alfred Sant, and now will vote for Muscat.

Franco Debono was gloating in Republic Street, patted on the back by equally gloating Laburisti.

Then, when he kept pushing the suggestion that the clock was given by ‘il-familja Farrugia’. They shot him down on that one too.

His intention was obvious: to create false impressions in the viewer’s mind. A pathetic attempt to grab something back from a severe beating for the MLP.

Exactly what I thought! I have no doubt that Franco Debono offered to handle George Farrugia’s case to be in a position to foment his personal vendetta against PN ministers, particularly Austin Gatt and Tonio Fenech.

How about what really happened to the $8.5 million dollars?

If I’m not mistaken, the out of court settlement didn’t return all the money.

But…doesn’t it look like George Farrugia knew Tonio Fenech and he probably knew him well?

So well that his brother could feel comfortable at Tonio Fenech’s doorstep unannounced with his wife’s clock.

[Daphne – It is impossible to spend the first 40 years of your life living in an extended town like Malta, unless you are from s-e group DE, and not know large numbers of ‘significant’ people through growing up, school, family and work. I didn’t hear Fenech say that they were unannounced.]
