I can list them one by one and in each and every case it is either a case of ‘anti-government rhetoric’ or ‘can do it better than the government can’, scenario.

It is the only hope for the LP forming a future government if it takes under its wings more negative minded people which may work for them in the short term but ultimately will self-destruct.

Most of the time they do not base their arguments on pure, unadulterated fact but on half-truths and wishy-washy statements and exaggerations. Obviously then it does not suit them to admit they were wrong. The shame of it all is that often there is money going to the NGOs because their less than honest campaigns have managed to convince the powers that be, and therefore they won’t want to lose that revenue. It’s a sad story.

For a while I’ve been running http://www.maltaoperahouse.com which started life as a campaigning website to draw attention to the Prime Ministers idea to turn the Opera House bomb site into a parliamentary building. Since that decision, thankfully, has been reversed the website is looking more positively to the future as theatre is going to be reinstated on this famous site.

As a part-time, extremely amateur historian I thought it would be fascinating to include a fairly detailed history of the Opera House. I was wondering if anyone reading this have any recollections of the Opera House. Maybe people have relatives that performed, worked there or attended the performances. Even internal photographs or snap-shots of the building, artists that performed, bill posters or newspaper cuttings (which can be scanned).

Joseph Bonnici’s & Michael Cassar’s fascinating book and I’m conducting a deep search of the internet – but input from your readers would really bring this work alive. My disability and poor health prevents me from travelling to Malta to research in person currently however my contact is: info@maltaoperahouse.com …. thank you so very much.
