X’imkien kont qrajt li ma jghaddix wisq zmien li Franco debono jaqla l-inkwiet lil Muscat ghax hu bniedem li jghix bil-konfront. Serduk bhas-sriedak li kien igelled.

Min kiteb hekk kien jaf x’inhu jghid. Franco Debono ghadu kemm dahhal lil Muscat go xkora nkwiet. Cool kemm jilghabha ta’ cool Muscat, din zgur ghamlitu jishet il-mument li gabar lil Franco Debono mill-landa taz-zibel.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter.

“Honourable” is only used by members of parliament addressing each other in parliament, or by the speaker addressing them, out of courtesy.

I wouldn’t expect the Maltese to know this. Fifty years of independence and we’re more barbaric than ever.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. Must I understand that a prime minister cannot be honourable? This site is fortunately a blog-site with various threads and not a site tied down by obligatory protocol demands.

In reply to Francis Saliba MD. I do not respect him. Hence, technically speaking, he is wrong. If he were to come to my neck of the woods, in theory he would be in a place where he is not respected. So, at least we know for a fact that in an area of one metre squared somewhere on planet Earth this person is not respected.

In reply to Stephen Borg Fiteni. Then clearly he has not been my way yet.

The Prime Minister (“honourable” is for members of parliament. The Prime Minister is not a member of parliament. Joseph Muscat is) should just demand their resignation.

The Maltese are fond of “stqarrija jikkundanna” but they’re not worth the paper they’re written on. They achieve nothing.

In reply to thomas clinch. Not worth it. On their own, they would howl for the cops. Aprons, napkins and all.

In reply to Victor.

Compare and contrast with the short, pithy and hard-hitting statements being issued by the Office of the Prime Minister (the “sense of proportion” riposte). Labour may be the incarnation of cynical evil, but they must have a genius in their press office.

If the PN keep using this legalistic, sterile language devoid of all emotion, they will not only lose the 2019 election, but 2024 too. By then, Simon Busuttil will be close to retirement. I cannot for the life of me understand why the man isn’t gripped by despair. I know I am.

From despair comes anger, from anger comes resolve. Apparently, the PN still think they’re in government, with Gordon Pisani issuing blue-skies press statements.
