The Law Commissioner and Chief of Constitutional Reform is now tipping into hysteria: he wants a union to defend “lawyers and their rights” (meaning his)
God, how very unfit he is for the two roles that Joseph Muscat has given him. Mintoff had his way of mocking institutions, and Muscat has his.
The damage done is the same.
I wonder if his 400 caged birds even got fed this morning.
On the desperate cock’s blog right now:
A LAWYERS UNION THAT DEFENDS LAWYERS
For the past months I have been contacted by a number of lawyers who have shown interest to set up a Union of Lawyers which defends lawyers and their rights. In the past days the disgruntlement has grown. I just listen.
In general it is imperative and of utmost importance that an architects’, a lawyers’, or doctors’ union should be and be seen to be unconnected to any political affiliation or pushing forward any political agenda.
What happened yesterday is very serious where a particular Blogger got to know of an email communicated to me by Chamber of Advocates President Ruben Balzan within minutes.
I have formally demanded an explanation.

Give him enough rope and he will hang himself. Maybe that’s the cunning plan.
He’s had enough rope to moor a cruise liner.
He just wouldn’t know what to do with it.
I get the impression that he wasn’t invited on that boat because he has influence or because someone wants to use him. I think he got invited as ‘entertainment’ just like some people invite Lowell to meals.
You mean to say he has been reduced to the level of ‘Tal-Farfett’ and ‘Tal-Ajkla’? Good to know.
At last somebody noticed.
Cabin fever. Why doesn’t he move to Trafalgar square and take up residence on that famous fourth plinth? He’ll have all the attention he could ever want, and life in Malta will be a tiny bit more bearable.
We first gave the world the Maltese dog.
Now we are presenting you with the Maltese cock.
He is our cross to bear.
But don’t worry.
We’re willing to share.
In my opinion, the message behind this is “Divide the legal profession.” Nothing is better than the idea of having a union. Which means more than one union. Which means taking sides.
Beware of the Mintoffian tactics lurking in the present government.
It must be the reaction to those 69 lawyers who stood against the Labour government’s attempt to violate human rights on an international scale.
Frankie Tabone is once again being used.
Well said.
On the other hand, he’ll raise hell if his ‘union’ doesn’t get a seat on the MCESD.
Hu go fik, Bencini.
It is a good idea to form a union for advocates with Tony Zarb as their advisor.
Fantastic idea. Simple, why not ask Tony Zarb to establish a lawyers’ section in the GWU and save the trouble of setting up another union? After all the lawyers are workers like everybody else.
However some are more privileged than others, the majority have to drive to work, others are driven to work, at the taxpayers money.
This would be the first anomaly that Tony Zarb would have to tackle. Everybody should be treated the same in front of the law. No one is better than others.
The Trafalgar Square giant blue cock includes a reference to antiquity.
When the Romans landed in Britain some 2,000 years ago they found a native population running around naked with their penises painted blue.
The newly erected statue is therefore an allegorical representation of Franco as one big prick.
Hilarious! Nothing less than hilarious. The lawyers need somebody or something to defend their rights? I think that the University of Malta was/is over-zealous in giving a degree to just about everyone.
Can he name these lawyers who have shown interest in setting up this union? It does not seem to be much of a problem for him to publish names, so let’s have them Franco boy.
How do you manage to know everything about everyone?
[Daphne – I don’t.]
This is the real movement, leo.
Internet, Facebook, email, a camera and recording equipment integrated into every phone.
A blog is the only suitable platform.
Exactly. This is the real movement. Ghax “Zmien il-partiti spicca.”
It’s a team effort
Further proof that Franco Debono has Left Wing ideology close to his heart.
Unions are so yesterday.
He really wanted his mummy to defend him, but then thought how that would go down with Daphne and thought better of it.
If you are a blogger with a capital ‘b’, then that makes him a w*nker with a capital ‘w’.
Get a life, Franco.
Muscat has yet to realise what he’s in for: a good jolly-ride with this wacko.
Miskin ta…..
How absurd. Have you ever known a lawyer or a medical doctor for that matter who would support you in taking legal action against someone of their own profession?
You can whistleblow till you’re blue in the face, these two professions would rather have you certified crazy than support you against another member of their profession.
They’re a closed shop as they stand. So what’s the union exactly for?
Isn’t that ironic, a lawyer seeking protection from lawyers.
Of course your Ridicule Factor is even higher if you happen to be the Law Commissioner.
I got to know that ‘got to know’ is incorrect English.
Union of lawyers to defend lawyers!!?? Mela kemm ghandu x’jahbi? Jahseb li kulhadd bhalu dan…
I thought he was a lawyer himself. Why does he need someone else to defend him?
Do lawyers now need a union to defend their rights? From whom? Daphne perhaps? Would Franco have us believe that all lawyers are wusses just like him?
No, REAL lawyers are made of sterner mettle. And I am not speaking about lawyers who parade themselves in court defending all manner of bottom feeding low-lifers and muggers.
Take those 69 lawyers as an example – they showed their backbone and it was firm. Then think of Franco Debono, Law Commissioner and Chief of Constitutional Reform who has reduced himself to nothing more than a pidgin turd (intentional typo!) underneath the sole of one their shoes as they marched to file their judicial protest.
I’m with Franco on this one.
We need a union to protect lawyer’s rights.
Men with a mental age below twelve are being sent to work in the law courts. It’s a scandal.

Dedicated to all cock lovers from Ghaxaq.
Wow, does he really need a union of lawyers to protect him from you Daph?
Now if that isn’t a compliment for your work, I don”t know what is.
Why did he drag architects and doctors into this?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco_Debono
Ha! His sanity! Lives with his mother! This is epic stuff.
Someone should amend the Wikipedia entry to include the famous Form 2 report.

In Parliament, Debono chaired the committee on the “Re-codification and consolidation of laws,”[15] and was also a member of the committee on “Black bust precipitation” chaired by Leo Brincat.[16]

black bust! bahaha
If he had any sense, he would have not responded with a commentary on his blog. But since he does reason things out like a child, you hooked him. On this one, he can try and portray himself as a victim as much as he likes, Labour will be giggling away in the background.
Given that his left brain is completely shut down and probably didn’t even develop in the first place, a few elements within his right brain are fiercely fighting each other off in a hyperactive state.
Well the silver lining to losing the election is that now this guy is totally irrelevant. But how did he ever get elected?
“I just listen” – yes, to yourself talking utter shite!
Its all in the family, see his father or uncle (it tifel ta Gamri is sagristan) shttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YYYq2XY9gsinging in the Zecchino d’oro.
Why exactly would a self-employed person need a union? To prevent him from infringing his own rights, perhaps?
Perhaps what’s driving him nuts about this is his knowledge of what Joseph Muscat was informed of whilst he, Franco, was still meant to be on the other side and both the immediacy and frequency with which those incidents occured?
All that for ‘nothing?’
