Yes, Owen, and you’re the Janice Minister
The Minister of Justice…oops, sorry, wrong picture. This is his mistress.
The Justice Minister, Owen Bonnici, under pressure from Janice Bartolo and Franco Debono
Franco Debono must be threatening murder and mayhem as usual, because the Janice – sorry, Justice – Minister has just made the most incredible lickspittle lackey of himself in parliament, saying that the law on party financing will henceforth be known, in the Italian fashion, as the Franco Debono Law.
Our system is not Italian, Mr Minister for Janice…Justice, it’s British. And your man Franco needs a psychiatrist. Badly.
We know he’s driving you nuts right now and that you’re under pressure on all fronts: wife going to lawyers, girlfriend playing you off to push your buttons to get what she wants, a shedload of responsibility that you’re not equipped to cope with at 34 when all you’ve ever been is a junior lawyer for a bank.
So the last thing you need is that madman ringing you morning, noon and night, 200 times a day, and sending literally thousands of text messages in concentrated periods.
Other people have been there – just ask the politicians who had to deal with him before. Rest assured that everybody on the other side of the House knows exactly why you’re grovelling at that loony-tune’s feet.
And I’ll bet they’re absolutely gloating. You’re the one who appointed him when you didn’t have to – issa la krejtu oqghod ghalih.
But here’s the thing: he had a seat in parliament back then and he doesn’t now. So what’s he using to threaten you?
We’re all agog. Any ideas, dear readers? What do you think the blackmail factor is here?

Pruzuntuz man, pruzuntuz. U biex inkomplu al italiana, punto e basta.
Ghal min qed tghid pruzuntus, ja gifa ???
You do make me laugh Eddie, I mean, Eddy sorry. Bust go nofs roundabout x’imkien ha jaghmlulek.
Bonnici mhux biss pruzuntuz, imma bniedem politikament perikoluz mibni fuq xejn ghajr retorika li ma tispicca qatt.
The Law Commissioner must be threatening to show Janice his Ralph Lauren pony or his caged cock.
Lanqas irrid inkun fiz-zarbun tieghu. Meta ittelfuk it-triq tithawwad. Nithassru. Bis-serjeta.
I have eight inches for you he boasted, now she’s discovered it will be in two installments.
That’s a bit naughty for a Boy Scout!
I pity Owen.
He must be at his wit’s end.
With pressure from a wife, a mistress and a madman simultaneously.
If he can take the flak without buckling, then he might even deserve to be Justice Minister in a Mickey Mouse cabinet.
Pity Owen? Why? He, together with his boss, enabled Franco Debono and pushed him to do more harm. They knew that they are dealing with an imbalanced person.
Now, we shall relax and enjoy the show.
Owen’s face looks very potato-like in that photo.
He certainly is no Janicemeister. He can hardly take a quiet shit with all this trouble he has landed himself in.
I sometimes think that the Janices, Lindseys and assorted bimbos working at Super One were planted there by Joseph Muscat himself, and encouraged to copulate with assorted members of the cabinet as a measure of ultimate control.
What of that Ramona? Who is doing her, I wonder. Can’t be Leli Mallia. His gut overhands his fun bits in ways that make any fun impossible.
Coming to think of it, how Franco Debono does not have a Super One trophy girlfriend is perplexing.
I think you’re right, and it’s not just cabinet.
No wonder you hIde your name !!!
Welcome back, Eddy. It’s been a long time between drinks.
The Judas law
Ah, but remember Franco has the ”looks” – and perhaps a large anchor with a long chain in the locker.
Bingo! He has a very heavy anchor with a very long chain, and Joseph Muscat is aware.
I listened to about 10 minutes (could not tolerate any longer) of the parliamentary debate yesterday and all I could hear was Owen Bonnici praising Franco Debono.
It sounded so obviously forced and false that one could only pity the men involved in all this saga.
Totally ridiculous and frightening at the same time.
I hope he can go and seek help before he collapses under such pressure and end up with complications like Dr. Gonzi did.
I’m probably way behind, but I just noticed that someone snuck “haiku writer” into Franco Debono’s Wikipedia description.
I wonder if he sleeps at night. The responsibilities of the Justice Ministry alone are too burdensome. He is too young for that job. He should have stayed at the bank. Too bad he mingled with the wrong people as the bad company got him where he is today..
Dr, Owen Bonnici has shown what miserable justice ministers our country has had during the GonziPN government.
Ghax ma tghidx li kien il PN li gab il-gustizzja fuq saqajha wara z-zmienijiet li kienet mkasbra qabel 1987. Hallina Eddy tridx.
This country’s government is made up of a collection of personality disorders. Instead of a parliamentary whip, they should get a parliamentary shrink.

Owen Bonnici and Konrad Mizzi: Lay Bare Ministers.
The meritocratic-iced-bun of the year.
The enemy of my enemy, is my friend. That should replace Taghna Lkollers’ principle.
It is time for Dr. Busuttil to gather some courage and disown this Sold-to-Labour-Debono as he did in the case of Dalli and JPO.
Owen Bonnici’s Wikipedia entry has been undergoing quite a lot of changes during the past week, even including a bit about his personal separation which was then deleted. I wonder if Franco Debono is behind it.
Owen Bonnici must feel like one of Franco Debono’s caged birds, unless it was Janice Bartolo’s idea to give that man a mention in one of the highest institutions of a democratic country (of which Franco doesn’t form part).
God forbid we should start this idiotic trend – imagine the pre-election divorce amendments called the JPO/Debbie law. Or the law on same-sex marriage called the Cyrus Engerer law.
I am actually enjoying the spectacle, and I can understand that Owen ‘Janice’ Bonnici is disowning the party financing law.
If I am not mistaken, the law should be called after the Minister who is responsible for the law, so in my humble opinion, it should be called the Owen Bonnici law.
But whatever.
This law is going to boomerang against Labour. If the PN is wise enough to continue with its strategy on this law, I can see the PN using this law as the metaphorical rope with which Labour can hang itself.
And what better way to do this than to have Franco Debono tieing that rope around Labour’s neck? Labour supported his insistence about this law – so why not enjoy the opportunity to see him strangle Labour, financially speaking?
I encourage and support the PN to step up its campaign on Labour to hand over the properties it stole from the private sector and which it appropriated for itself from the public.
This is a serious matter indeed, and the PN’s argument is logical, it makes a lot of sense in a fair democracy, and exposes Labour for what it is – a corrupt bunch which thinks that when in government, it can appropriate public assets, tenders, concessions, licences and public office generally to enrich itself and those around it.
I followed the argument made by Chris Said on Iswed fuq L-Abjad, as well as Simon Busuttil’s speech in parliament as reported in the media, and the logic of that argument cannot be denied.
When Labour comes back with the argument that the PN wants a bailout, the PN’s argument should remain that the MLP does not need a bailout only because it holds on to stolen properties, and if anything, it seems that after those crimes the MLP is out on bail.
The Labour government cannot regulate political parties’ finances when it has financed its own party at the expense of the public and private parties. This is elementary in a democracy, and I would be surprised if Franco Debono is not aware of this – maybe he is.
Maybe he wants Franco to fill in for him, because he needs a lot of time to entertain his mistress, as she might easily get bored and go knock another door.
Owen Bonnici qed juri li jaqa ghall-kulhadd.
What is the blackmail factor, you ask. Simple. Given that Franco is “much more handsome” than Owen, Franco could take both his wife and mistress whenever he wants to.
It’s hilarious.
Naming that law so would make it his only life achievement (not counting Form 2C etc.).
There surely cannot be another law after that in his name. That’s it then. What a really useful law that is (not).
I disagree that the legal system is British.. codified legislation is certainly not British.
[Daphne – Nobody is talking about codified legislation.]
I wouldn’t go after the Italian model, not when the agenda there is to get rid of the senate, reverse the autonomy given to regions, halve the number of provinces, force the justice system into a semblance of decency and drastically trim down the myriad of parliamentary processes holding up the reform process itself.
Or as they insist, Renzi included, make Italy a normal country; un po’ all’inglese.
And Bonnici’s wrong, they name the law after the member who presents the bill in parliament.
Definitely blackmail. They’ll all get their come-uppance in due course.
Is he really only 34? Not aging well at all I’m afraid.
shame on you minister owen bonnici.
Owen Bonnici jista jghid li l-karriera politka tieghu bdiet it-triq tn-nizla. Ghidli int kif tista tmexxi ministeru importanti, bhal ma ghandu hu, bi tgerfix li dahal fih.
Let me know if she’s going to be at the banana festival. ASAP.
I vividly remember YOU Daphne, referring to Dr. Eddie Fenech ADami as ” that village lawyer from Birkirkara “. Today you refer to minister Dr. Owen Bonnici as A ” junior lawyer of a bank ” ! Who knows, he might prove you stupidly wrong, just as EFA did !
All you have adoring your vile comments is a bunch of COWARDS who are even scared of showing their names !!!!
Excuse me dear Minister Bonnici, under Italian custom the law regulating political parties financing should be known as ‘Legge Gallo’.
No it’s Cock’s Law – or Legge Testa di Cazzo.
Mela m`ghandekx kuragg tippubilka l-kummenti tieghi ???
Eddy, you gentleman fluffer, just go away. Hug Joseph and his many denizens but just f*ck off.
Eddy, did your daughter lock you up inside the house again? You need to release your frustrations elsewhere.
Eddy, if you had half Daphne’s courage, one percent of her intelligence, one percent of her understanding of human nature, and a smattering of self-respect, you would have stopped commenting publicly on any subject a long, long time ago – say in late 1971.
Don’t be too hard on Eddy Privitera. Nature is such a bitch. It made Einstein and Leonardo da Vinci. And then it also made Eddy Privitera. Why is life so tragically unfair?
