The chairman of the Malta Council for Science and Technology
The Times, 7 July 2010:
A Bill for the introduction of divorce was presented to Parliament yesterday by Nationalist MP Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando, surprising all his parliamentary colleagues.
Former Prime Minister Alfred Sant regretted that such an important subject had fallen in the hands of an MP who, he said, was politically and morally ‘corrupt’.
Of course, you can argue that Sant is a fine one to talk. And that he seems to have no problems contesting the upcoming EP election on the ticket of a party that aided and abetted this politically and morally corrupt person because of its own political and moral corruption.

Will Carmen Pullicino Orlando be voting for Alfred Sant?
I suspect that Carmen Pullicino Orlando would choose Alfred Sant over her husband, JPO, any day at this stage.
At least Sant will never need the services of Carmen’s best friend, Mariella the Ghaxaq hairdresser.
Remember that Carmen Camilleri Ciantar knew ALfred Sant way before she knew Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando. They were so close (not romantically), that they used to hang out together with other members of the Sant inner circle, and used to go to Gozo together on a regular basis (again, not romantically). He consulted her often.
I would say that the friendship and relationship was platonic.
Play for him, tonic for her?

Pots, kettles and so on…
Is he going to build his MEP campaign on local politics?
Do these people know any better? The only campaigning they are familiar with is mud-slinging the PN.
What would Alfred Sant build his MEP campaign on? Telling us how important the EU is for Malta? He couldn’t, could he? Or would he?
Sant is still digging himself into a ‘hole.’

This is more recent (2012) just after JPO resigned from the PN: “persuna li ma ghandha u ma jista jkollha l-ebda kredibilita morali jew politika”
Why would Alfred Sant give an interview to it-Torca about the Mistra “scandal” just a few days after JPO’s resignation from the PN?
Did he know or suspect that something between JPO and Muscat was brewing and he wanted to disassociate himself immediately?
Actually the interview was published in Labour’s Kullhadd (not it-Torca): http://www.kullhadd.com/201207214263/Ahbarijiet/qimmuntaw-cover-up-totali-akkost-li-jigdbu-bla-skruplu-lis-sostenituri-taghhomq-alfred-sant.html
Here’s the last question (and the answer given by Alfred Sant):
Dr. Sant, x’inhi l-fehma tieghek dwar l-ahhar mossa ta’ JP0 li rrizenja mill-PN u fforma ‘koalizzjoni ma’ Gonzi’?
“Ma nikkummentax dwar l-azzjonijiet u l-mottivi trasparenti ta’ persuna li ma ghandha u ma jista’ jkollha l-ebda kredibilità morali jew politika.”
Probably he will be voting for Marlene.
I find the comment by Il-Kajboy in very bad taste.
[Daphne – There was bound to be somebody who did. Mentioning politicians’ wigs is taboo in Malta. We are all expected to pretend they have real hair. So Through the Looking Glass. A wig is not akin to a prosthetic limb, you know. Different factors come into play in the choice of wearing one, and different factors, therefore, also come into play when discussing it. A wig on a man is the object of ridicule. A wig on a woman (worn because of chemo/alopecia) is not. Nor is a prosthetic limb on anyone at all. Baldness in men is normal, so it should not be ‘abnormalised’ by the use of wigs.]
It’s Sant’s ideas that taste bad.
Imagine what Malta would have been like today with 9 years of his Partnership.
Evil merkins.
