Comments on: FAA's democratic reaction to scrutiny and criticism: "SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP" https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2009/02/faa-tries-to-cover-its-backside/ Daphne Caruana Galizia is a journalist working in Malta.

Does she feel that she is losing grip of the whole situation?

[Daphne – No, she just has no idea what it’s like to be on the receiving end, because she’s surrounded herself with grovelling admirers until now. It’s OK for her to allege wrong-doing over at the cathedral foundation, and to demand the resignation of three monsignors. But God forbid anyone should say anything about her, however accurate.]

He states: “Any development on rows of houses should be holistic in nature and focus on the entire streetscape as opposed to the piecemeal development we have at present.” He fails to mention that behind this row of houses there are nine storey block of flats and that along the same stretch of road there are six or seven storey flats. If the streetscape were to be truly taken into account, four or five storeys for this row of houses would be more than justified.

FAA is eager to protect the back view of the Sliema seafront flats while depriving the owners of this row of houses from what is rightfully theirs.

At least the worst scenario would have been a couple of broken plates. And D, I am not being sexist orrite ? Il-kelma ggib hekk :)
