Should the Law Commissioner and Chief of Constitutional Reform still be blogging away about his personal beefs?

It’s bad enough that he’s still consorting with petty criminals in the course of his other work as a part-time criminal lawyer.

Or is it a full-time criminal lawyer and part-time Law Commissioner and Chief of Constitutional Reform?

Never mind.

Now he wants to know how I found out that the Chamber of Advocates wrote to him and dismissed his demands. He’s going to wage war on the Chamber.

Chamber president Reuben Balzan had best block Franco’s number because he is about to be besieged by 1001 SMSes.

No, Franco, it wasn’t Dr Balzan. He certainly didn’t tell me, and you can have my word on oath about that.

Believe me when I say that I have my spies everywhere, and no, they’re not in the Chamber of Advocates either. Why, they might be in your magic phone. Or even in your magic head: little men running around inside your skull like the Numbskulls in the Beano.

Here’s the Law Commissioner and Chief of Constitutional Reform’s little drama on his blokk.

I HAVE FORMALLY DEMAND AN EXPLANATION FROM THE CHAMBER OF ADVOCATES

I have formally requested an explanation from the Chamber of Advocates as to how Mrs Caruana Galizia got to know of an email I received from Dr Ruben Balzan, less than forty five (45) minutes after I received it. Dr Balzan assured me he had sent the email only to me and he had not spoken to anyone.

Till this morning I still hadn’t received a reply.

This is an extremely serious issue which could put the Chamber in a bad light. All the Chamber’s members have the right to know how Mrs Caruana Galizia got the informantion.

Mrs Caruana Galizia has explained her knowledge by glamorously boasting that her spies are everywhere. If this means she has spies within the Chamber of Advocates, then this is a very serious issue which the Commission and others should investigate very rigorously.

This episode, unless explained, could, unfortunately, reflect badly on the Chamber.

I don’t think he quite understands just how badly this episode reflects on him and on the prime minister who stuck him where he is.

    Ahh, Franco xi hruuuq. Issa taf xi jfisser hu go fik.

  2. Calculator says:

    So Franco finds the existence of sources for good investigative journalism “wrong”.

    Might as well rename ‘Malta’ the ‘Democratic People’s Republic of Malta’ in the new constitution while he’s at it.

  3. AE says:

    “glamorously” – he really has a poor command of the language – pathetic individual.

  4. jack says:

    Is Franco Debono an only child?

    [Daphne – No. He has a brother.]

    Il-hanzir taqtalu denbu hanzir jibqa!

      Tajba din Brian, u veru toqghodlu lill Franco.

      Pruzuntus mill kbar, kiesah u minn kollox ghamel biex jasal sa’ hawn. Hadem ferm qabel ma iggradwa biex jaghmel kuntatti li jkunu jistaw isserfuh ghall quddiem.

      Irnexxilu imma miskin tilef il kreddibilita kollha. Veru miskin.

  6. drewsome says:

    Wow, Le Coq Sportif is really burning the midnight oil – boat trips, meals galore and beavering away at his usual irrelevancies……instead, say, of actually getting some work done.

    Pathetic little twit.

  7. CIS says:

    One realises what sort of person this Franco Debono is through this episode. Just think, in the original blog another person was mentioned together with Dr Debono. The other person did nothing. Franco raised hell.

    [Daphne – How do you know that the other person – Pierre Calleja – did nothing? He is the perfect position to do plenty because the police are my enemies and are perfectly positioned to harass me, as they have done repeatedly.]

    • CIS says:

      True Daphne. What an oversight from my part. You just shared your knowledge of a meal they had in Sicily (ghax Gonzi qatilhom bil-guh). What would happen if you were to uncover something more serious I wonder.

  8. Francis Saliba MD says:

    Whether or not “this episode … COULD unfortunately reflect badly on the Chamber may be a moot point. What is absolutely beyond discussion is that MOST CERTAINLY this episode reflects very badly on Franco Debono himself, but there is nothing remarkable in one more outrageous exhibition by this lawyer and ex-member of parliament.

    I’m waiting for the day when he’ll claim to have been abducted by aliens.

    • H.P. Baxxter says:

      Franco’s hu go fik probe?

    • Josette says:

      He probably has already been but doesn’t remember it. It might be an explanation for his weird behaviour.

      Sorry … I’m going to take that back. His immaturity and total self-centredness are the only explanation needed.

      • H.P. Baxxter says:

        I think you might be on to something here, Mulder.

        During the Xarabank incident he kept shouting something about “ili sitt xhur naqla’ go fija.”

        The truth is out there. I believe.

    Franco is Angry. He has demanded a Formal Explanation. He thinks his Rights have been violated.

    Some rooster he is. Fancy being shown up by a chick.

  11. Lorry says:

    What a farce this government has become in just a few weeks.

  12. Lorry says:

    Daphne, people who voted Labour last election because they were promised a position are now moaning big time. I’m talking about my brother who convinced his entire family (his immediate one) to switch votes, yesterday evening at a familiar gathering, expressed with me his disappointment, on how he called the Malta Enterprise to collect his reward only to find out that he was taken for a ride the whole time.

    Regards
    Lorry

  13. ND says:

    Does he not realise he is making an ass of himself?

  14. steve says:

    I would worry if I were you, Daphne, not about his rantings….just hot air in an equally hot environment.

    I would worry since in all probability he is also dreaming about you.

  15. Grezz says:

    ‘I have formally demand’. This prick can’t even write proper English.

  16. mewho says:

    I love how in typical ‘erm’…politician (I prefer not to use the word coward) fashion he conveniently drops the word COULD in this blog.

    Add to that the fact that when you keep pull the carpet out from under him he is at a complete loss on what to do…..priceless.

    All in all he really does appear to be as good as his peers say he is.

  17. ciccio says:

    At one point, Frankie Tabone refers to “the Commission” out of context, without specifying which Commission, and says that it should investigate the serious matter.

    If he is referring to the Commission for the Administration of Justice – which is more famous for its note-taking than for its investigations of serious matters – then at best, that commission only has the powers to investigate him, not journalists or their sources. Was it not him – a criminal lawyer and hence an officer of the court – who was seen partying with officers of the Police?
