The MCST chairman has now been reduced to posting pictures of himself in earnest poses, to bolster his crumbling image. How very sad.
Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando must realise by now that his attempt at a feint, by using his cyber-harassment petition to distract the public from his drunken 5am brawl in the company of a woman not his wife, isn’t working.
He’s been drumming up media support – the latest is his buddy Robert Musumeci with an article on the General Workers Union news site – and harrying people constantly on Facebook, and yet he doesn’t even have 2,000 signatures. And one of those is mine.
It might be slowly dawning on him that while the dregs might see nothing wrong with the chairman of a state council (or anyone else, for that matter) brawling at 5am and sucker-punching a 22-year-old friend of his children, most people know that this is neither normal nor acceptable. That it is, in fact, disgusting and highly inappropriate.
And yes, that includes many of those who previously supported him in his efforts, and whose opinion has now changed – though of course, it never occurs to them for a minute that his behaviour in parliament and out of it over the last five years is the result of the very same character traits and personality problems that had him roaming around Malta in the early hours when his wife was in bed, in a drunken state, looking for trouble and finding it.

It was reported on Mulej Hudni FB page that JPO used harsh language on his page to describe Mr. Azzopardi, the victim of his vicious attack. Can anyone please reproduce what JPO wrote? That would really make a good read and unveil his “jahasra-inhossni-attakat-mill-internet” attitude and divulge his real intentions. Not that we need any proof, mind you, but it would be a great exercise of unmasking this hypocrite. He wants this law to protect himself. He feels victimised. Its not important that he and the Commissioner of Law victimise others on their ‘blokk’ and FB page.
Well he did call Karol Aquilina a dork and other names on Facebook.
Karol Aquilina is enemy #1 of his buddy Musumeci
Il-kampanja ta’ ACHA Malta. Wasn’t aware there’s other JPO’s out there.
Referring to himself in the third person next, pluralis majestatis taken by the Queen of Teeny Beach.
She’s been quiet. Thankfully.
An imbecile and a douchebag leading the future of science and technology on an island governed by ill-educated, opportunistic scums?
Surely there can’t be superior science fiction.
Wish we could organise a convoy and push them out….
I’m almost tempted to sign it out of sheer pity.

I don’t think his image is in the state of crumbling any longer – it’s long crumbled.
He is oblivious to the fact that he cannot blackmail a government with a one-seat majority and his seat any more. Although his divorce initiative was laudable and I actively supported it, media attention on him and Franco Debono was solely because they were pulling the strings of the government’s guillotine.
The media have already dismissed his ‘cyber’ campaign as a childish crusade to shut you up.
The sole reason for JPO’s divorce initiative was for his own personal gain without any altruistic motives. The fact that others have also benefitted from it was only a secondary gain.
JPO’s cyber-harressment initiative is exactly the same story. For the likes of JPO, altruism is an alien concept. It is very difficult for such individuals to change…the greater problem and responsibility lies with who puts such individuals in public office in the first place.
[Daphne – I agree with you on this, but the description of his motivation for divorce legislation needs to be qualified with some observations. Pushed by his consort Carmen Ciantar, who understandably wanted the financial security and, should he pop off to the other side before her, usufruct of his property and other assets and the legal right to continue living in his house without risk of being removed by his heirs, Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando suddenly started, a few years ago, getting very angry about his need to marry her and being unable to do so. His consort’s desire for financial security and rights to property became a private bill for divorce legislation and the rest, because of the government’s badly misguided refusal to take over and own the issue itself, doing the opposite instead, is history.
However, if I read Pullicino Orlando personality, psychology and behaviour correctly, when it came down to the crunch and he and his consort suddenly found themselves able to marry each other, he got cold feet. As often happens in these situations, once you can, you realise you don’t want to. They both got divorced immediately and summarily because they had been apart from their spouses for a decade or more and material matters had been sorted out already, but then they waited almost a year before getting married last August. Pullicino Orlando’s behaviour in the run-up to the marriage became increasing hysterical, crazy, high-tension and erratic.
He appeared on television interviews and talk-shows speaking with an obsessively repetitive pattern and with a voice that began in the dull monotone of the seriously depressed and then escalated into the hysterical tone of barely suppressed rage. He led the campaign against Malta’s permanent representative in Brussels, in parliament and in the Nationalist Party, where he gave a rambling presentation that made no sense at all. He was all over the place mentally and emotionally.
All this happened just before his marriage banns were published and while they were out. Instead of sparkling with happiness and serenely making his way to the altar, he behaved like a man condemned to the guillotine, possessed of a mad rage at life itself. Basically, he had painted himself into a corner. When you’ve campaigned for divorce legislation so that you can marry a particular person, you can’t then take, in full serenity and calm contemplation of whether it’s the best thing, a decision to marry. You’ve effectively taken it already.]
Nearly two weeks have passed since the incident and we have not yet heard a decent word from the PM and what action are the police having. The least the police can do is charge all who were involved in the brawl for disturbance of public peace and order.
We will wait and keep reminding them.
We will surely do
So basically he is asking the public to support him with a petition to promote the passing of a law that would give him and his circles IMMUNITY from public criticism about his public conduct.
Yes.

Kemm hu bniedem indigest.
Shouldn’t 2,000 signatures be a very easy target given the level of ignorance and the Hamrun-based harassment machine?
Mr Azzopardi is lucky that this case of the mistaken identity cropped up, otherwise he would have ended up the victim of a frame-up by the police.
