Oh, by George!

After a long hibernation, Dr George Bonello Dupuis woke up to a modern world and arrogantly rebuked fellow politicians Dr Franco Debono, Dr Joe Borg and Dr Josie Muscat. The irony of it all is that nobody from the PN ever rebuked or disciplined Dr Bonello Dupuis, when as a finance minister, was reported to have openly proclaimed that he wasn’t so frustrated by our national debt as this would be incurred by our children and grandchildren – a piece of irresponsible advice coming from a finance minister!
On the contrary, he was later rewarded by being appointed Ambassador to Malta in England and alas, nowadays we are all living up to Dr George’s prophecy! It is clear that according to Dr Bonello Dupuis’s way of reasoning, what’s good for the goose is not good for the gander.
Dr Bonello Dupuis seems to be still living in the past and he has not yet realised that unlike his good old days – where most politicians were “yes” men – today’s upcoming politicians, and others as well, sometimes openly disagree with their party’s leadership. Nowadays political parties are more often open to internal criticism than ever before.
