A statue in Franco’s honour, in Trafalgar Square

Franco Debono believes that he has been made Law Commissioner and Chief of Constitutional Reform because he is widely respected and admired, and because his myriad gifts have been recognised.
He believes that businessmen of a certain type ask him out on boats and for trips for lunch in Sicily because they value his company and his conversation.
He will be pleased to know the latest news: that the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square has been graced with a work of art in his honour: Cock, by the German artist Katharina Fritsch.

Franco int biss ma tafx, pero kulhadd jghaddik passata zmien qieghed. Vera pulcinell.
Bil-Malti nghidu “Fih siegha nejk”
Kemm issibhom ezatt Daphne. Simply the BEST.
[Daphne – This website is something of a community project. It would be impossible without the huge number of people who volunteer information, send links, leads and pictures. This was one such.]
He might be disappointed to hear that this cock is not as big as it seems. A medium-sized cock, but nevertheless ‘a cock’.
It may not be as big as it seems, but it’s definitely a full-blown cock.
Not as big as Nelson’s column though. Lady Hamilton knew best.
You’re right, Baxxter. You can tell from the colour of that cock on the Fourth Plinth that it is alert only as a consequence of too much viagra.
Excuse the shouting….
FRANCO – YOU ARE WIDELY RIDICULED, MOCKED AND LAUGHED AT. I CAN’T IMAGINE BY WHAT FREAKISH TWIST OF YOUR EGO THAT YOU ARE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT YOU ENJOY EVEN THE SLIGHTEST SEMBLANCE OF RESPECT AND ADMIRATION BY ANYONE OUTSIDE YOUR IMMEDIATE FAMILY.
In short, Franco, you are a national laughing stock. PN supporters are repulsed by you. MLP supporters (and also the MLP leadership) are AMUSED by you. You helped get them into power, and you made your ulterior motive for doing so SOOO obvious, starting from the morning of 10/03.
You were, in other words, their useful idiot. And now they have no further use for you.
Your ex-classmate has milked your paranoia and narcissism to the full, and taken every last penny’s worth. Write this down – the day will come soon, when Joey and his cronies will crap on you from a great height, and he’ll think NOTHING about doing so.
Good luck on getting a job as a ‘top criminal lawyer’ in Italy at that point. How old are you again?
I don’t think he will. Someone read his blog in Milan and put this up.

Should it be red?
It’s a chilly willy.
sfiducjat mill poplu Malti kollu anki dawk li qabel l-elezzjoni appoggjawh.
Franco got his iced bun and he thinks that the job he has will earn him respect – far from it.
Look Franco, perfect to get to the office.

After this, there is no way Frankie Tabone is not going to want his own ‘cultural Cock’ sculpture.
Well, I think that for the time being he can have the one in Luqa. It’s blue enough.
The work of art is being described as the ‘Cock of Discord’. It is more appropriate to describe the work of art as the ‘Cock of Irrelevance’.

Le a statue in Franco’s honour mhux in Trafalgar Square, imma Piazza della Signoria sotto le gallerie a Firenze. Xiraq bhalla tifoso viola.
I’ve said it before and will say it agan – what a plonker.
I’ve said it before and will say it again and again and again – what a plonker.
The newly erected statue in Franco’s honour is not the first important Maltese connection with Trafalgar Square.
The inscriptions at the base of Nelson’s column were composed by the eminent nineteenth century Latinist Giuseppe Zammit (il-Brighella).
Here’s a haiku for the Law Commissioner.
Cock in a dinghy
Brings to mind
Useless yellow rubber duck.
And Ms Fritsch chose to paint it BLUE as well. Maybe because he still feels a NATIONALIST deep down inside – that is why all his madness?
Even Boris respects Franco. Amazing.
I never knew Franco was so widely respected and admired even in England.
I am sure he must be thrilled to bits.
I can’t take the credit for finding this; a friend of mine was kind enough to point it out to me – http://escflashmalta.com/index.php/music-news/local-music-scene-news/item/3113-malta-return-of-national-song-festival-confirmed?fb_action_ids=10151825890147754&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=ticker&action_object_map={%2210151825890147754%22%3A177120925802657}&action_type_map={%2210151825890147754%22%3A%22og.likes%22}&action_ref_map=[]
Spot the Labour names.
Imma kif issibhom! Wonder of wonders! This is so funny…and yet, when you pause to think about it, it’s really really sad that we should, as a nation, be reduced to this state of affairs by turncoats like Franco.
You are all wrong. Since it is blue it has nothing to do with Franco.
