Comments on: How utterly shameful (or shameless?) of certain individuals to collude in Labour’s fiction that Mintoff and Fenech Adami are somehow at par in character, achievement and motivation

In reply to AE. Jackie Mercieca's programme is now on TVM. Part of the takeover by Super One of TVM I guess. It is showing right now.

In reply to Jozef. "I think the real deal at the moment is to state the obvious; Build the foundations for the post-Muscat future of Malta." Now you and I definitely need to talk.

I think the real deal at the moment is to state the obvious; Build the foundations for the post-Muscat future of Malta.

Given the exhorbitantly visible defects it’s rather easy to conceive, start from the don’t’s.

This must be the first legislature ever where the past has increasingly become a comforting discourse to refine, no nostalgia required.

In reply to Manuel. Lou Bondi thinks he can do to Labour what the PN required in 1987.

Daphne, I admire you for not saying in public what you think of Lou Bondi, him being your friend for over 20 years and I am sure that you gave him a piece of your mind in private.

If Joe, his father, were alive I have no doubt that he would also have given him a piece of his mind but say nothing in public for the same reasons.

Very disappointed in Lou Bondi. Showed extremely bad career judgement. I know he now has a baby to support, but with his talent he could have easily found a job.

Even sadder is the fact that although it’s crap, it’s really well made and produced crap.

My blood is boiling at the moment. I spent months commenting on this blog about how Lou Bondi was damaging the PN with his blatant justification of any decision taken by Austin Gatt and the people surrounding Lawrence Gonzi. I also strongly believe that your incisive writing was sorely missed in criticising the previous government into some sort of action that could have given them a sense of perspective.

Now, your lack of lambasting Lou Bondi, who has really shown his true colours, also leaves me baffled especially when it’s not like you dwell on crucifying any person you decide to take aim at (in most cases, rightly, I hasten to add).

Incredible… Lou Bondi, Gensna and Jason Micallef, all uttered in the same sentence and your reaction is… zilch. At least you highlight the shameful way Eddie Fenech Adami is lumped with Mintoff, but what about Lou Bondi cosily agreeing to this?

This lack of consistency has made me completely disenchanted with journalists, commentators and politicians.

[Daphne – Read what I have written here once more, this time without your blood boiling. If you think I am going to tear Lou Bondi to shreds about this, you are mistaken. He and I were friends for more than 20 years and it would be completely inappropriate and unseemly for me to say what I think in public. I have, however, said what I think in private and he himself knows where I stand on the matter as do most people with common sense. We have not, in fact, had any contact for more than a year as there are now quite obviously issues of trust on my part.]

In reply to mc.

Why what is he “worth” after the Presidency?

He’s been squeezed for his worth, which was readily given – no stand taken.

This last stand is about as empty as Marlene Farrugia’s pleading to be heard.

When it came to action and effect they both knew where they stood.
