My sincere apologies, Daphne. I meant Paul Borg Olivier.

What makes you think John still sides with Roma?

I would not be surprised to see him waving the Union Jack the next time England takes on Italy. Really! Everything is possible when you get struck by lightening and your sense of vision is impaired on your way to Labour head quarters on a very gusty windy day.

How about a before (nationalist) and after (socialist) fashion make over? The new socialist job must come come with additional monetary perks on top of a generous nationalist pension income. A new closet of entitlement is de rigeur. I wonder if spic and span Peter Borg Olivier can at least tip John on a better contemporary fashion sense. It took John 50 years to come out of the closet. Let’s put some new outfits in, possibly for free, he would definitely love that, LOL. Don’t hold your breath though. This little chairmanship donation is just a step in the right direction on the yet untested Labour cat walk. Sure to God, Labour is not that cheap to regale John for such incredible services rendered with a mere cheap board position. Something more lucrative and rewarding, costing the taxpayer more than 30 pieces of euro silver, must be in place. They do owe the late bloomer that much and more.

[Daphne – Peter Borg Olivier died some time ago, Iggy.]

I guarantee you that not only is his father turning in the grave but we, his family, are all humiliated and feel betrayed.

The Bencinis come from respectable political families and traditions since the early 19th century.

We respect political opinions even if they are diverse but there is no tolerance for unprincipled members who switch due to a grudge or mere convenience.

John should have retired with grace. He totally blew it! His father was had by the Nationalist party of old but loyalty is what makes a person true, no matter what and he did not switch sides to the end!

Very well said. Very clever, min Jaf. Taf hafna.

Very well said. Very clever.

His father must be rolling in his grave, at the thought that his son has become a Labour supporter. He conveniently has been years mulling over this ‘switch occasion ‘ reason being that the P.N. somehow were getting at his daughter who teaches at I.T.S. I guess that she too will be entitled to some promotion.

Neutering is the second best choice to having one’s enemies taken out and shot.

Totally agree with you. The PN should not fall into these traps. They will be blamed if things go wrong and not just for that reason. The PN’s sole responsibility is that of being an Opposition whose main task is to be a watchdog of what the government is doing, or not doing.

Of course not, but neither would forced resignation belong to Muscat alone.
