l-liberta' tal-espressjoni tant kienet pilastru fil-politika tieghu li Borg Olivier rebah zewg elezzjonijiet (1962 u 1966) minhabba li l-Laburisti kienu interdetjati jekk juru li huma Laburisti. Dan kien jinkludi il-qari ta' gurnali Laburisti, kitba fl-istess gurnali u vot lill-Partit Laburista. Dawk kollha kienu jaghmlu dnub mejjet u kienu jmorru l-infern u jindifnu fil-mizbla. Naturalment dan il-kastig kien jinghata mill-Knisja Maltija imma Borg Olivier ma kienx jiggieled lill-Knisja biex tigi rrispettata din il-liberta' tal-espressjoni anzi approfitta ruhu minn dan it-tradiment tad-demokrazija tant li rebah zewg elezzjonijiet.
Dik liberta' tal-espressjoni!!

According to a cable signed by ‘Getz’ at the time when John I Getz was US Ambassador to Malta, Ġorġ Borg Olivier who at the time was Opposition leader, in January 1974 was faced with a declaration of no confidence by 21 of the 27 PN MPs. This claim had been made by a former PN MP who defected to Labour - Alfred J Baldacchino - during a Labour rally on March 3, 1974. According to the former PN MP, this attempt to oust Dr Borg Olivier as party leader had taken place some months before he had switched parties, thus increasing government’s slim one-seat majority to three. In his speech to the Labour supporters Mr Baldacchino had also claimed that another two PN MPs would follow suit and switch to Labour. Significantly towards the end of this cable dated 4 March 1974, PN MP Mario Felice who was described as “outspoken in his criticism of Dr Borg Olivier’s ineffective leadership” described Mr Baldacchino’s claims regarding the attempt to remove the party leader as “essentially correct”. On the other hand he “vigorously” denied that two other MPs were prepared to follow him. In his account Mr Baldacchino had said that he had attended a meeting at the office of Nationalist MP Guze Maria Camilleri on Jan 7, where 18. PN MPs had signed a declaration of no confidence in Dr Borg Olivier’s leadership. Three others who could not attend, signed later. He said that out of 27 MPs only five supported the party leader , making the point that they were either his relatives or had been part of his cabinet in the previous legislature when the PN was in power. These five MPs were Paulo Borg Olivier, Dr Borg Olivier’s brother; Albert Borg Olivier de Puget, Dr Borg Olivier's nephew; Alfred Bonnici, “appointed speaker in last parliament by Dr Borg Olivier”; J. Cassar Galea, “an old Borg Olivier crony”; and Alexander Cachia Zammit, “former minister in Dr Borg Olivier’s cabinet”.

Why were you furious when George Borg Olivier was removed? He was a total mess. By that stage he was drunk every day - easily a bottle a whisky a day, I would say, his personal life was cause for major scandal, and he had lost two elections on the trot.
