That’s where the planetarium is. I bet his head is full of stars.
and I bet that the one holding him up is perit Mugliett.
In any normal country, any member of the governors of a public entity would have no option but to tender his resignation after being so publicly humiliated as JPO has been on national television this evening.
Mind you I did say ‘normal,’ so that leaves Malta out of the equation.
Permit me a slight but important correction:
after having humiliated himself publicly as JPO has done on national television.
This in no way is meant to reduce the others’ (PN and AD reps) merit who were great.

Even Toni Abela was embarrassed by JPO and made no attempt at claiming ‘party kinship’ with him. And Toni is not one who gets embarrassed very quickly. The PL must be kicking themselves for sending him along.
Beppe gave him the final KO when he mentioned Lara Boffa.
Jista Jeffrey jaqbad kikkra te’, jintefa wara c-cint u jwiegeb l-ahhar mistoqsija ta’ Beppe bejn bikja u ohra?
I m terrible with computer graphics. Can someone make an “angry orange” composite photo with JPO in it?
Knowing Muscat’s way of thinking, JPO’s participation in tonight’s Xarabank was only intended to deviate the discussion from Mallia’s sacking and the details linking the Prime Minister’s office to what happened the night of the shooting.
I agree.
I somehow find it difficult to figure out how they are managing to treat the police’s involvement in this issue and the PL’s involvement as two separate things.
They are pushing for the story that they were misinformed, and acted properly on the information they were given.
I don’t buy it. We all saw the images of the cars. At best they knew they had been lied to.
Also, enough with the “I no longer will phone the police because I am afraid that my phone conversation will be leaked” nonsense. What an irrelevant point to be making.
It is not the fact that these conversations were leaked that is worrying. What is worrying is that a police man, instead of doing what he should have done, knew he could just phone up the police and sort it all out while firing two bullets at a car.
And if that’s not bad enough, we also have the problem of how the government reacted at that time, reacted while the phone conversations were being published and how it is acting now.
Thank God for those leaks, otherwise we wouldn’t have ever got to know.
There is absolutely no reason to fear that your conversations with the police might be leaked, because to be honest I don’t even think your lives are all that interesting, and even if they were, your conversations have nothing to do with state corruption.
Plus, just because something gets sent to the press, doesn’t mean it will be published either. So even if someone were stupid enough to just get your phone conversation where you called the police to report a case of domestic violence, and send it to the press, the press would also have to think about whether or not they will publish it, and that sort of thing would get them into a great deal of trouble, assuming they are as stupid as our first pea brain.
This is not the issue here at all. All this shock and horror over some worthless clock (apologies to its maker, but it wasn’t exactly valuable)and then when real corruption is revealed, they act like its no big deal and start focusing on the wrong things. Typical hypocritical electorate.
Għal-kull daqqa li naħseb li ttina nagħtuk sitta taħt iċ-ċintorin.
You are right. In fact we were more taken up by how JPO was reacting, than with the issue in discussion. Strategies are and will always be Muscat’s forte.
Normal? I just read the Shanghai Electric/Enemalta Investment Agreement in which there is no mention of any 320 million euros, no mention of any amount whatsoever. It’s more like a memorandum of understanding. There is no dispute resolution mechanism, no jurisdictional clause, very vague on conversion to gas date.
These might be in the power purchase agreement but this will remain secret because it is “commercially sensitive”.
I think that Muscat must be kicking himself in the arse for that brainwave of his in sending JPO to ridicule both himself and the Labour Party tonight. He should have sent Deborah Schembri instead, because she has an IQ of 180%.
Wara l-program, JPO ikellem lil Joseph Muscat.
JPO: Ghogobtok Prim Ministru (ghax hekk ihobb isejjahlu)? Pruvajt naghtihom hard tajm (ihobb jghidha ukoll). X’dehrlek meta pruvajt ingelled lil Frank ma’ Beppe?
JM: Ma hadmitlekx, l-gh*xx. Hallini ha mmur norqod.
JPO: Lanqas meta zeffint lic-Caqnu?
JM: Aqtaha ha ddejaqli ras z*bbi (b’referenza ghal kif Silvio Scerri qal li qal Muscat lil Stephanie Chircop). Insejt li Michael Falzon kien mar jiekol mac-Caqnu?

Did anyone ask why Ray Zammit is still employed.
Is Sheehan going to be reinstated .
Are all telephone logs going to be released.
Full disclosure
JPO’s fate is likely to follow Anglu Farrugia’s. A kick in the arse from Muscat and this time, for once, I tend to agree with Muscat.
Another squeezed lemon with no juice left.
A lemon? Nah, a bergamot maybe.
Jeffrey POLLOCINO illum ried jikkonvinci lill-Laburisti tas-seba distrett kemm hu Laburist ahdar flok l ex mara tieghu, imma Frank u Beppe regaw harguh ta’ harraj. Kemm niehu gost narah jaqa ghan-nejk.
Il-veru nanu tal-kummiedji.
If the prime minister has any goolies left, he would sack Pullicino Orlando from the chairmanship and the party within 24 hours.
Toni Abela’s body language showed that even he was embarrassed and squirming whenever Pullicino Orlando referred to the Labour Party as “his” party.
The man (whatever is left of him anyway) is a walking disaster and the cherry on the cake was when Dr Fenech Adami finished him off with that entirely legitimate question (statement?) about Lara Boffa. The whole of Malta must have been laughing at him shouting in anger.
Who will he be texting obsessively tonight as he drowns his sorrows in a tankard of spiked Earl Grey?
JPO is literally the albatross round Labour’s neck.
If I were him I would go dig a hole and bury myself.
I honestly don’t know how people accept such behavior from a person holding such an important post. The Malta Council for Science and Technology is no joke.
Why did the PL send Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando as a spokesperson? And more crucially, why did Pullicino Orlando go?
Are they trying to kill the Malta Council for Science and Technology and its reputation?
Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando is paid from our taxes for such an important post, but he is making a fool of our Science Council and ruining its reputation. I hope that the Board of Directors take note of this, and vote Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando out.
They’re there to protect the Science Council and not its chairman.
Maybe Labour sent JPO in the hope of repeating the rumpus created by Frankie Tabone when they sent him instead of Anglu Farrugia before the general election. Hoist by their own petard this time. They’ve forgotten they’re no longer in Opposition.
I enjoyed it when Beppe Fenech Adami told Toni Abela: “Stop him as he is embarrassing your party”. Classic.
I haven’t watched this, but if he embarrassed himself more than he did here, then deary me :

I hope that you did not receive a lot of courteous messages from Jeffrey last night, knowing that he has a crush on you.
[Daphne – He won’t be sending me anymore. After I filed my report, the police summoned him down to the station and spoke to him about it. He agreed not to send me any more text messages and that if he has anything to say to me, he should post a comment on this website like everyone else.]
What qualifies Pullicino Orlando to be chairman of the Malta Council for Science and Technology?
How many scientific papers has he published? How much research has he done? What sort of background does he have in management and directorships?
I couldn’t see any science or technology coming out of his mouth during yesterday’s debate.
How can such a sick man be the Chairman of a national entity like MCST is beyond me. He is a national liability and should be replaced at the earliest opportunity.
A one-seat government majority in parliament. Muscat promised to keep him on as an example of “tista ma taqbilx maghna, izda tista tahdem maghna”.
And now Pullicino has let Muscat down badly by joining the “nimxu wara Joseph” cult.
If Joseph Muscat was running the PN (God forbid) he would have sent Carmen Ciantar to the panel to confront her estranged husband.
JPO, aghti cans lil haddiehor jitkellem. Kont naghmlek aktar tolleranti. Kemm fik hej…
Jeffrey on Xarabank said that he could understand how worried Mallia was about his child for he is a father himself.
I am also a father but I have only one woman and that’s my wife, mother of my children, and I don’t go chasing around after other women to give them a bad example and upset their lives.
Very well said – being a mother myself (the same ages as Jeffreys chiildren) that is what I always think to myself. Poor things, and what a bad father they’ve got.

Not quite an interactive science centre.
How old is JPO’s girlfriend?
The perfect age. Half his years, plus seven.
What a wash-out asshole this Jeffrey is. He tried to hit out and failed completely to undermine the facts.
Toni Abela at least stayed out of the debate as much as he could, but shit-for-brains Jeff tried to outshine the rest of the panel. Nice try.
At times he got so frustrated that tears gathered in his eyes, ready to come out.
Go get a life, worm.
