In December, Labour sent Franco to face Simon. Today they sent Cyrus. Watch it now on TVM.
The Labour Party has never had anything other than contempt for the electorate. It doesn’t show only in the big things, like the refusal to divulge information. It shows up too, like the devil, in the details.
If you can call the final Saturday night television appearances of a campaign ‘the details’, that is. On Super One they had Jeffrey and Franco, that sad, sick combo, and on TVM2’s Dissett, with Reno Bugeja, they had Cyrus Engerer.
The programme is being repeated now on TVM.
Yes, Cyrus Engerer, who is not even seeking election. Cyrus is not a candidate, so who knows in what role he was sent to represent the Labour Party. LGBT Labour, perhaps?
This interview was intended for the deputy leaders of both parties. The Nationalist Party duly sent Simon Busuttil, who is stretched to the limit but who still does the correct and proper thing and goes.
The Labour Party sent Cyrus Engerer. Yes, it sent Cyrus Engerer instead of Louis Grech. It sent Cyrus Engerer instead of Toni Abela. Cyrus, who has no official role in the Labour Party. Cyrus, who is not an electoral candidate.
By sending Cyrus, they sought to denigrate Simon Busuttil. And Cyrus, the bloody idiot, didn’t even mind being used as an insult. That’s how cheap and ridiculous he is, how dignified. But we can’t expect better.
And Louis Grech, for all his posturing as being ‘of Labour but better than that’, of being above it all and somebody who knows kif imorru l-affarijiet , has been exposed (yet again) as being no better than the rest of the Labour rubbish, after all.
In accepting to be replaced by Cyrus Engerer for a debate between the two deputy leaders, he has behaved no better than Anglu Farrugia, who allowed himself to be replaced by Franco Debono.
Very tacky, Louis – really, really tacky. Kemm waqajt baxx, jahasra. Imissek tisthi.
That no-show at the university was bad enough, and now this.
If the Labour Party’s deputy leader is really so unwell that he has disappeared in the last few days of the campaign, then the voting public is owed an explanation.
We have become accustomed to Labour treating us with contempt while demanding our vote, but there are limits to this sort of far-right behaviour. We are not all Norman Lowell sympathisers who love authoritarian contempt for democracy.
So much for your posturing, Louis. The people who couldn’t understand how you were a part of the Mintoff in-crowd back in the Golden Years now have a much clearer picture of where you stand.

Shouldn’t Cyrus be raiding the hard drives of personal computers of his colleagues in the Labour Party for embarrassing pictures, rather than wasting his time on TVM when he is not a candidate?
Implicitly, the MLP wants to remind us that it is the natural home for criminals who want to avoid justice, through either a cover up or forcing the police to drop pending court cases.
They are so certain of their landslide victory that they can afford to unveil the mask during the last days of the election.
They have noew realized that a minor swing back to the PN will make no difference given the huge lead the MLP has over the PN.

But why is Saviour Balzan so overmuch impaired?
Cyrus does have a role in the Labour party. He and Randolph organised the pissoir gatherings.
Louis Grech was fit enough to be on Bla Agenda this evening, along with those other two Mintoffiani.
[Daphne – My, what a quick recovery.]
The students in this video are right in telling their government “shame on you”.
Maltese students just do not realise that they have it so good.

Engerer, Franco, Jeffrey and Jesmond are socially dead.
They don’t even have any respect for Reno Bugeja, who is definitely not one who sympathizes with the PN.
Do these people really think they will get anywhere with Labour at the helm?
Have they any idea of how many people are waiting backstage and have been waiting for 15 odd years to get what they percieve is their vindication?
Do they truely think that the old Labour guard will sit and watch patiently as some Nationalist turncoat gets his pie and eats it too?
Cyrus did not leave PN to join Labour out of pure ideology.
Cyrus only switched because there are formidable people within the PN ranks (bar some who should not be there at all). His climb would have been protracted and grueling.
Labour is another world. There are kilometres of prairie and we all know how coyotes love prairies.
Cyrus was thrown out of the PN, pure and simple. He didn’t leave.
His move to Labour is out of revenge and nothing else.
If I’m not mistaken when Louis Grech, barely a month ago, was asked whether he would ever accept as Anglu had done when the Labour party sent Franco to appear on Xarabank instead his reply was No.
There you go.
I was thinking of the forthcoming formidable line-up:
Chief Justice Farrugia Sacco
Judge Consuelo Herrera
Ombudsman George Vella
MEPA Head Yana Mintoff
Malta taghna lkoll.
Miskin Cyrus, no match for Simon!
Every decent switcher should postpone their switch until every single person who condoned labour’s atrocious behaviour of the 70s and 80s, either by commission or omission, retires completely from the political scene.
Louis Grech et al and Karmenu Vella et al stood by whilst 70 Nationalist clubs were ransacked, The Times was set on fire, Eddie’s house was sacked and his wife beaten up, the police and known criminals joined forces at tal-Barrani, Raymond Caruana’s murder by criminals known to them, the ransacking of the Archbishop’s Curia, Busuttil’s frameup and severe oppression and clampdowns on free expression.
These people didn’t lift a finger then and they now have the temerity to lecture us on good governance.
