“Only gentlemen resign.”

Gentlemen are rarely required to do so.

Only gentlemen resign so don’t expect any one of them would ever think of it. They’ve had it so good up to now that they can live off the fat of the land for decades to come.

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him;
The evil that men do lives after them,
The good is oft interred with their bones,
So let it be with Caesar … The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answered it …
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest,
(For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all; all honourable men)
Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral …

And yet he joined that filth.

Yes, and what? Set up a new party called the Real Labour Party (sorry: PLG. Partit Laburista Genwin)?

Oust the leader in a bloodless coup?

All these scenarios and Plan Bs you’re constructing, hanging on in the vain hope that at least some Labour members are not corrupt, are all nonsense.

From this moment on, if anyone is decent, they cannot be members of the Labour Party, let alone MPs sitting in the House. Otherwise, they forfeit their claim to decency.

Sorry, tough love.

Yes precisely. That’s what I think should happen within the next weeks, given that it’s useless expecting these three corrupt criminals to resign.

I’m hoping that those (few) Labour MPs that are not dirty and that must be equally disgusted at all this, will pluck up the courage and do the right thing that will put an end to this filthy corruption.

George Vella and Edward Scicluna cannot be aspiring to many more years in politics anyway and I’m sure Godfrey Farrugia is a man of principle who should resign from party whip and vote against the government.

Maybe the fact that it will not be one person that will bring down the government might give them the courage to do what is right.

I might be dreaming but in the face of something so dirty and so big, involving the topmost people, I’d like to believe that there are a few decent Labour MPs who will disassociate themselves at the first opportunity.
