In reply to socrates. The visit to the Pope was well timed too.

In reply to Banana Republic .... again. Perhaps JPO has gone throughout all the women who will have him, so he's decided to change orientation

”People knew that Malta needed divorce legislation so they seized the moment, holding their noses and voting for what they didn’t want that bitter little man to think was his cause.”

You always manage to hit the nail on the head. Yes, unfortunately people like me who believe that a country can’t function well without divorce legislation had to do exactly that.

I voted for divorce because I had to but I knew fully well that JPO, knowing how egocentric he is, would understand a yes-vote as a vote for him and would bolster his ego.

I remember myself cursing JPO all the way to the voting booth and back.

To dull Jeffrey, comments from l'Avvenire today: Unioni civili, a Malta legge bloccata Una legge che metterebbe sullo stesso piano le unioni gay e i matrimoni tra uomo e donna, anche per quanto riguarda le adozioni. E' bufera a Malta sulla legge sulle coppie di fatto. Il governo maltese ha rimandato l'approvazione finale del provvedimento, dopo che il capo dello Stato George Abela si è rifiutato di firmare il decreto, esprimendo le sue perplessità sulla moralità del contenuto e sulla opportunità di equiparare i diversi tipi di unione. La legge è già in ritardo di cinque settimane sulla tabella di marcia ed il governo del primo ministro laburista, Joseph Muscat, ora dovrebbe aspettare il prossimo quattro aprile, ovvero quando finisce il termine del presidente George Abela.

I am not in any way defending George Abela here, but The Times reports that: “According to sources, Dr Abela’s objections are “on moral grounds”. His spokesman declined to comment.”

Why should George Abela take any lessons in morality from the person who was described by Alfred Sant as “politically and morally corrupt”?

“Sant had described Pullicino Orlando as ‘politically and morally corrupt’ when the MP tabled a historic bill for the introduction of divorce in 2010, ostensibly over the MP’s role to secure a planning permit for an open-air disco on his land in Mistra which was Labour’s central focus during their 2008 electoral campaign. ”

And let us not forget his famous speech at Leuphama University. He was completely off subject. The subject was city development and this is what he had to say…

Read the comments below the video. They make you weep with shame. The man is totally incompetent and should be made to resign from his post as chairman of the Malta Council for Science and Technology
