“The evil blogger of Wardija” – and this is a grown man, an architect, MP and former cabinet minister talking
If there were ever a strong argument for bringing back psychometric testing of political candidates, it is the behaviour of certain grown men in parliament.
Fragile or fragmented egos have no place in parliament because the result is disaster for constituents, for the party (whichever party that is) and for the country.
It’s just not fair to foist people like this on the unsuspecting electorate. We expect the parties to check their candidates thoroughly for suitability before they present them to us as suitable.
Somebody has sent me a screen-shot of what Jesmond Mugliett wrote about me on his Facebook wall last January:
Jesmond Mugliett
On the same day that PM calls for a stop on personal attacks, I am called a person of dubious character by the hate blogger of wardija. To me it has long been evident that the PM had lost control over this coterie of evil bloggers.
Let’s get this straight. We are talking here of a man of around 50, married with children, a pater familias with a house and garden, a man with an architectural practice, a member of parliament for several years, and a former cabinet minister.
He has been in politics for years.
And when a political commentator (me) – somebody who has been in journalism far longer than he has been in politics – calls him a person of dubious character, which we all know now is true even if we didn’t know it before, he holds his crotch and cries on Facebook about the “evil blogger”.
He even says – and this from a Nationalist politician, if you please, who should know about these things – that the prime minister has lost control of his “evil bloggers”.
Exactly how can a prime minister control bloggers or columnists, Jesmond of Dubious Character?
By doing what Mintoff did to Godfrey Grima (now back in the Labour fold) and Charles Demicoli and dragging them before parliament for censure?
You’re such a damnfool prat.
More frightening still, Jesmond Mugliett of Dubious Character actually believes the prime minister SHOULD control bloggers, especially if they are evil like me.
And it’s Bidnija not Wardija, oh man of Tarxien.

‘man of Tarxien’, now that sounds dubious too..
HEY! Careful who you call dubious. We gentlemen of Tarxien are a unique breed.
(Hope everyone knows I’m saying this tongue in cheek.)
It wasn’t really the Tarxien bit I had in mind.
What Jesmond really wishes to say is: dammit, if her husband won’t shut this woman up at least the PM should.
“..the prime minister has lost control of his “evil bloggers”.
Now, now, Daphne, how exactly have you become the PM’s property? C’mon, fess up.
The prime minister was right not to reappoint him to the cabinet.

… and room for a pony
Sorry, couldn’t stop myself there.
And a pool, mustn’t forget the pool.
And if he’s got a pool, he might even have a bridge across it. Both Jeffrey and Jesmond are excellent at bridgework, in their own way.
These people simply haven’t got a clue, have they?
The tragedy is that, more often than not, we realise this only when the damage has been done.
Was it not Matthew CarbONE of ONE who raised doubts about Mugliett’s character?

I’m too young to know about what Mintoff did to Grima and Demicoli. Could someone elaborate on this, please?
I don’t understand the intolerance to criticism. Is this a maltese trait? I dont always agree with daphne and some things she says may hurt, perhaps because they are true, but i wouldn’t ever dream of telling daddy.
Ghandhom ragun ma johorgux ghal elezzjoni.
Min hu iblah u jerga jivvota lil bies bhal JPO u Mugliett. Issa tohrog ghal elezzjoni il-honey Carmen, ma titlax, johodha holiday tipo honeymoon u jnessulil xulxin id-disfatta.
Hu mahruq ghax ma telghatx hi, hi ferhana ghax ma harigx hu, hu ferhan ghax Gonzi ma telghax u hi ferhana ghax ergajna morna lura fis-70. Jghaddu hames snin, Malta dizastru totali, u Botox Jeff johrog mal-PN sabiex jaghmel bill favur l-abort u sabiex l-irgiel ikunu jistghu jwelldu
