Do you have to be a liar to be a Malta Labour Party politician?

Published: July 30, 2014 at 7:41pm

Look at what failed Labour Party candidate and anti-EU campaigner Sharon Ellul Bonici has just uploaded on Facebook. She’s presenting that picture as being of Islamic invaders ready to take over Malta right now.

But a quick search by a reader reveals that she’s taken it from a BBC report and the photograph is from 1991, when shiploads of Albanian boys and men departed for Italy – many of them arriving in Malta instead, as many of you will remember.

    They lie with intent. She took the trouble of finding the photo. She knew what she was doing.

    Quick search …. I got the link from Darren MB ;)

    Ifhimni…. mhux bil-fors, imma dejjem jghinek biex tintegra ahjar fl-MLP. Anke jekk imqar forsi tbazwar naqra l-hawn u tbazwar naqra l-hemm, l-aqwa li tasal biex il-partit glorjuz imexxi l-pajjiz fil-paci u fis-Sliem, ghax Malta l-ewwel u qabel kollox.

    Judging by the way she made up her mind re EU, first against then contesting the elections very soon she will be going around in a scarf in a Mosque

    • Jozef says:

      Yes, from anti-EU to fortress Europe keep out the riff raff.

      They couldn’t even get themselves together to form a political group, suspicious as they are of each others’ agendas.

      First the Lega incites against French farmers, Le Pen doing the same, then they’re a happy bunch against Brussels.

      Yeah right.

    By now those Maltese who are not of the ignorant class, know very well that the PL government and the PL propagandists are all out to manipulate public opinion in this dishonest manner. They are experts in making the bad look good, the corrupt practice to be seen as legitimate, the repayment for 30 pieces of silver for services rendered as sheer meritocracy, and the sour GonziPN long-play as the Malta Taghna Lkoll new chant. This is how PL wants to ride the wave. But a time will come when the shit will hit the fan, and all will realise what a fake governance this is and that they will be held accountable for each and every obscenity they are making us go through. Sur Prim Ministru, il-hobz m’intix ittih lil min jaf jieklu, imma lil min jibilghu.

    I am more concerned that this ‘laissez faire’ attitude of letting everything under the sun pass as a given, is not ferociously challenged by the general public, as was done pre last election. The PL lackeys are now letting sleeping dogs lie.

    Do these people know what they are doing. Are bidders supposed to meet the minister or is there a procedure to be followed.

    “Asked about complaints by a company which forms part of a bidding consortia that the minister was refusing to meet them for talks, Mr Mizzi said he never refused any meetings and met whoever requested to meet him.”

  7. Nighthawk says:

    Of course you do. How would you compete with your peers if not? Lying, cheating, stealing. That’s not wrong, it’s intelligent. Min hexa mexa, so majtezwel.

  8. Matthew S says:

    Oh, the irony.

    Those people were escaping communism. Sharon Ellul Bonici’s husband is always on this website hectoring us about how the western media has got all the news wrong and telling us to check out the real news courtesy of Russian or Chinese news sources.

  9. H.P. Baxxter says:

    The Ellul Bonicis have always been a sort of gentrified version of Lowell.

    [Daphne – There’s nothing remotely gentrified about the Mrs. She’s Andy Ellul’s sister, enough said.]

  10. Jozef says:

    You mean we all recognised that photo immediately.

    Sharon thinks we’re idiots.

    • White coat says:

      exactly

    • J. Borg says:

      I don’t think Sharon thinks we are idiots. I am sure that she knows that some people see right through her. She merely thinks that the majority of the Maltese are idiots, and that they believe everything that is spoon-fed to them. Unfortunately, to some extent, she is right. The results of the general elections, and more recently, the EU elections, show this.

  11. anthony says:

    Not only is she a liar but a malicious one at that.

  12. watchful eye says:

    It is a sine qua non

  13. bob-a-job says:

    The arrival of the ship (one of two) carrying Albanian refugees at St. Paul’s Bay in August 1991 brought together 18 Maltese individuals who were the catalyst in the setting up of the Malta Red Cross Society.

  14. thealley says:

    Her other brother (not Andy) is even worse. The more incompetent he is, the faster he climbed up the stairs of the pyramid at the bank.

  15. Gaetano Pace says:

    Mhux it-tessera taghmlu Laburist, imma il gideb li jigdeb u il qrid li jeqred jaghmluh Laburist meta jkun fl-oppozizzjoni. Meta jkun fil gvern, is-sassla, il bixkilla, u c-curniena jaghmluh Laburist biex mis-sassla jitfa fil bixkilla li meta timtela iferraghha fic-curniena. Dejjem jekk ma jkunx bil-paga minima ghax jekk ikun bil-paga minima ma jkun jonqsu xejn aktar, jahdem, jaqla paga, jisma s-super one u il-Hadd imur ghal lager u l-plattina tal bebbux u l-imqarrun u jghid kontra n-Nazzjonalisti.

  16. Freedom5 says:

    Oh Daphne, come on. You are now posting comments under your fake name Baxxter, and replying to him so as to convince Salvu BS that it’s two different persons . Uff why can’t I put a smiley.

    [Daphne – If you want to put a smiley, put one on BS’s face. In the 30+ years I have known him, I have never seen one there. Dejjem qisu sejjer ghal qatla.]

  17. Rumplestiltskin says:

    I don’t think it’s necessary to be a liar to be a member of the Labour Party, but it certainly helps if you want to advance in the hierarchy.

  18. C Falzon says:

    “Do you have to be a liar to be a Malta Labour Party politician?”

    No, but it certainly helps.

  19. Lucifer Sam says:

    Is the head of the Civil Service also a liar?

  20. J. Borg says:

    How can one be surprised at Sharon Ellul Bonici?

    Such people only care about themselves, and will stop at nothing to attain what they want. Lying and cheating are just (very normal) tools to them…

  21. RC says:

    Not surprised. Her leader Marine le Pen was caught distributing flyers pretending she is her political opponent:

    http://news.yahoo.com/frances-le-pen-fined-10-000-euros-over-151400502.html

    Same kind of people who said the guy hanging cats in Mosta was Muslim.

    These people are not making mistakes. They know they’re lying.

  22. Ta' Natu says:

    Jien niftakar lil Salbu (sorry ridt nghid Salvu) Balzan fid-Dipartiment ta’ l-Ambjent fl-ahhar tat-tmeninijiet taht Dr.Stanley Zammit flimkien ma’ skoss gentlomi li ghadhom gentomi sallum: per ezempju Alfred E.Baldacchino, Joe Sultana tax-Xaghra u Natalino Fenech li kienu waqqfu l-Birdlife.

    U Salvu dejjem jilghabha tal-primadonna, irid imeri lil kulhadd, ma tafx fejn int mieghu u trid thallsu biex jitbissem.

    Vera l-kas ta’ min jitwieled tond ma jmutx kwadru.

    Imma l-importanti li jhobb jidher.
