What a mentality

Published: July 3, 2014 at 10:04am

This is how Dalli John ended his statement about the Opposition leader, published this morning:

Dr. BS should be upholding the rights of the Maltese citizen and not the abuse of the likes of Dr. GK.

Let’s leave aside the fact that the man sounds like he has a massive psychological breakdown of some kind, unless he was always like that and nobody noticed.

Let’s stick to his reasoning: the Opposition leader should defend Maltese citizens against barranin, no matter what those Maltese citizens have done and no matter who those barranin are and what organisations they represent.

He sees Malta in terms of a criminal organisation like the Mafia or his brother’s friends the Naples Camorra: we protect our own.

So the Opposition leader must do as the prime minister has done and protect and celebrate Dalli John the sacked EU Commissioner because he is a Maltese person ‘under attack’ by the European Commission’s investigators.

The rule of law? Forget it. This is the Camorra mentality.

    The fact that he referred to the leader of the opposition as Dr. BS says it all. That one choice confirms the darkness this person’s thoughts come from and the fact that he was never able to get beyond him not being elected as the PN leader.

    If anyone still requires a confirmation of whether that was a good choice, this is the ultimate proof.

    As for the prime minster’s choice of giving this person further power…well, that speaks for itself also.

    I hate it when people refer to others by their initials (the only exception I make is KMB). In this instance there’s also the added ‘ħamallaġni’ that Giovanni Kessler is GK but Simon Busuttil is BS.

    In his last interview before resigning from Parliament published in the Times of Malta about a year ago, Dr. Lawrence Gonzi had categorically said that the time will come when Dr. Muscat would be sorry for employing Dalli John and Debono Franco since he will have to reap the consequences of his decisions.

    How right Dr. Gonzi was.

    • Spock says:

      The more time passes , the more we are realizing how right and prophetic Gonzi was, and that he was a man of great integrity and vision.

      Even the most idiotic of switchers must have realized that by now.

  4. Vagabond King says:

    It is very possible that Dalli needs some help, similar to Suarez of Uraguay. Both cannot cope with being frustrated and in Dalli’s case he cannot handle facing the truth.

    Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

    Truer words were never spoken.

  6. Jozef says:

    Absolutely.

    The must see. Another brilliant Toni Servillo.

    The book cost Saviano his freedom, having had the temerity to name not just the camorristi, but politicians and magistrates.

  7. R. Azzopardi says:

    I’m ashamed to say that I once held this man in high esteem.

    • Angus Black says:

      Me too, until I heard him speak (in not too good English, I recall) in Toronto when he was Minister of Finance.
      From that day on, my opinion of him headed South!

  8. Jozef says:

    It does seem to me that certain agreements cannot be rescinded, forcing such outbursts by the ex-commissioner to ensure everything falls into place.

    One wonders what the consequences, should these plans be disrupted, may be.

    What’s clear is that the PN is not playing along. There’s more to Busuttil than everyone thinks, problem is, it’s not what’s ‘expected’.

    I half expect Dalli to come up with some comparison to his ‘support base’ next.

    • H.P. Baxxter says:

      The problem isn’t Busuttil, but a bunch of rabidly ambitious careerists at PN HQ who think they know better.

      • bob-a-job says:

        Like Chris Said for example?

      • H.P. Baxxter says:

        No, he’s rather harmless. Gozitan, but harmless.

      • bob-a-job says:

        You’ll be surprised if you take a closer look, Baxxter. Very surprised. Indeed extremely surprised.

        Dalli too was also seen in very good light for a long long time because he always delivered but then ambition kicked in.

      • H.P. Baxxter says:

        I thought I’d use some unspoken words for commentary here, but to hell with it – this country needs clarity and forthrightness.

        So here it is: Are you saying that Chris Said is a liability to the Nationalist Party because he is trying to undermine Simon Busuttil, just like Mario Demarco? Or are you saying that Chris Said is a liability because he is corrupt? Or is he both?

        At the moment I think the biggest problem for the Nationalist Party is not Labour, or the elections, or even the disastrous finances. It’s Mario Demarco. What does he really want? What is he playing at? Is he trying to engineer an electoral defeat for Simon Busuttil so he can be party leader?

        (What then? Demarco as Prime Minister in 2023, in his fifties?)

      • bob-a-job says:

        Baxxter, I rate you with a keen sense of observation.

        Why do you think that Franco Debono said he would support Chris Said for PN leadership two years ago if it wasn’t already on the cards at that time?

        The undercurrents that have been working for a number of years certainly didn’t help Lawrence Gonzi but then the man was too stubborn to understand his predicament. It is thanks to him we are now in such a mess as a country.

        With Gonzi gone, the problem for Said is now called Simon Busuttil.

    Dalli soap products.

    and if that’s not enough, one of the Directors is Kessler. Markus not Giovanni in this case.

    And then they say there’s little to laugh about in life.
