That’s what happens when you let rabid personal animosity overcome your better judgement, Saviour Balzan

Saviour Balzan, who owns half of Malta Today and uses it as a personal grindstone for his tired old axes, knew who the better individuals were and the ones best fit and most competent to run the country.

But he hated them.

And he let that hatred get in the way of his better judgement.

In working to destroy them for reasons best known to himself he helped bring Labour to unassailable power.

I won’t go into those reasons, because my life’s experience as a woman has taught me that obsessive men cannot be understood but must be avoided, and that the key character in the film Fatal Attraction should have been a man and not a woman, because it is men who become irrationally dangerous when they fixate on something or someone.

Now, far too late, he is complaining about Labour’s behaviour, and then only because it is in the grip of the developers’ lobby – which it was already before the general election, when Saviour Balzan could have heard the warning air-raid siren but chose not to do so because there were people he hated and wished to destroy and that, not common sense and decency, were his priorities.

Listen to his video-blog today. Apparently, he is now no longer bothering to get himself filmed properly and is talking straight into his laptop like one of the zillions of weirdos who litter the internet. You fully expect him to stand up suddenly, put his thing in the frame and shake it at you.

The owner of the other half of Malta Today, Roger de Giorgio, should do something about these freakish displays as they are bad for the newspaper’s already weak image.
