Another definition to be added to Labour’s bizarre dictionary:

Gentleman: a person found guilty of threatening and blackmailing a lover who has left him.

In reply to Peter Grech.

You all missed the reason why Cyrus Engerer left the Nationalist Party to join the ‘skip’.

He left, or was kicked out for the very same reason. Cyrus Engerer thought that he is immune from prosecution.

If the Prime Minister is backing Engerer’s claim of persecution, isn’t he implying that the judge is implicated and a participating instrument of this persecution?

If this is the case, isn’t this an attack on the independent judiciary by none other than our Prime Minister?

We who lived and survived through the eighties know pretty well the consequences of a PL attack on the judiciary.

Once a gentleman always a gentleman.

Once a scoundrel, always a scoundrel.

For the Prime Minister to make the statement that he was reported to have made with regards to Engerer is beyond shameful. To call Engerer a ‘gentleman,’ after what he was convicted for, says a lot about his values.

“Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said that he backed Mr Engerer’s claim of persecution.”

Muscats irresponsibility is beyond belief. By claiming that Engerer is the subject of political persecution, he is implying that:

(i) Engerer is innocent and that he was wrongly convicted by the Court;

(ii) the Court is part of a political conspiracy to persecute Engerer;

(iii) the Police received instructions from politicians to investigate and prosecute Engerer;

(iv) Engerer’s ex-partner was an accomplice in the political persecution of Engerer.

Worst of all is the last one because with the PM’s statement the victim is turned into the perpetrator.

Disgraceful. It amazes me how people who understand the difference between right and wrong could possibly vote for the party led by Joseph Muscat.
