In reply to Adrian. Forget about Gabi Calleja since she is part and parcel of the MLP regime. However, what about Aditus and why are they silent on this homophobic crime?

Just as Muscat is defending his own poor judgement rather than Engerer himself, switchers are refusing to admit their poor judgement in voting PL when, even today, they insist on defending Muscat.

Martin Scicluna comes to mind. And has anyone heard anything lately from Kenneth Zammit Tabona?

‘..But by dropping him, Muscat will have to admit – and be seen to admit – error of judgement, and he is literally unable to do that…’

Which makes it even worse. But that I suppose, is tradition in Labour.

” … (He) he can’t even bring himself to admit that he was wrong …” reminds the older readers of another bloated politician who never admitted that he could be wrong (even while wrecking his country) plastering its walls with the slogan “Il Duce ha sempre ragione”.

He met a sad end hanging head downwards by his heels with his paramour from a lampost in Milan.

Let some weeks go by, and no one will be asking about Cyrus Engerer. THE CIVIL UNION HAS PASSED AND SO HE IS NOT NEEDED ANYMORE. TRASH TO TRASH.

In reply to Adrian.

Let’s see it from the victim’s perspective.

MGRM have a duty to come out publicly and make a clear statement in defence of the victim of this case and of similar cases which may go unreported because, as has been proven in this case, the victims fear further deceptive threats.

MGRM should make sure to include in its statement an encouragement to all LGBT victims of porn revenge to report their case to the police and seek justice through the “independent institutions” whose independence is guaranteed by the prime minister Joseph Muscat.

Finally MGRM should condemn all politicians who fail to condemn LGBT porn revenge and who fail to shoulder political responsibility for their association with anyone found guilty of it.

Jees, do I have to write their press release?

Here we go. He started pointing fingers. That’s the only way he knows how to defend himself.

“The Prime Minister was also asked about former MEP candidate Cyrus Engerer, who withdrew his candidature after he was given a two-year suspended jail term for distributing porn and said that accepting someone found guilty of criminal charges within your fold did not mean he condoned what he did.
The PN, he said, has two MPs who were found guilty of criminal offences but he did not think that this meant that the Opposition leader condoned their criminal behaviour.”

What is Gabi calleja of the MGRM going to do now? One of the heroes and champions of the gay community has been found guilty of distributing gay revenge porn which can be classified also as a homophobic attack. Where does the MGRM stand now?
