Ave, Astrid. Din L-Art Helwa has dumped her cause publicly and she's left with Joe Meli the Black Shirt, the communists at Graffiti, and the loons and axes brigade.

Those who would sabotage the plans for the regeneration of Valletta by reducing them to a battle for an opera house or a theatre, in a contemporary style or a replica of what has long gone – they cannot even agree between themselves – appear not to have realised that the fat lady has sung.

It’s all over.

The tide has turned, public sentiment has shifted, impatience with their ideas and their way of communicating them has increased, and they’ve been left high and dry on a rock surrounded by whackos and extremists ranging from Norman Lowell’s black-shirts to the communists at Graffiti and any number of alternative types in between, bolstered up by those who object on principle because they didn’t vote for this government and wish to replace it forthwith.

Yes, and there’s Fr Peter Serracino Inglott.

He came across on television last week as the worst sort of impractical dreamer, speaking about tunnels and connecting bridges and making space for an opera house, insisting with Renzo Piano’s architect partner that ‘Yes, it can be done’, oblivious to just how arrogant and ignorant he would have seemed.

The other man was too polite – in that very civilised, very French way – to tell him in that very tart, very British way with put-downs who exactly the architect was in this discussion, and who the know-nothing presumptuous dilettante.

Astrid Vella has no experience in politics and political communication, but the exercise in which she is engaged demands both. Wittingly or unwittingly, she has allowed herself to become a tool of the Labour Party and its media machine.

The Labour Party has no interest in whether or not Malta gets an opera house or another theatre. It would certainly like to have a parliament house designed by Renzo Piano, though it would die rather than admit this in public.

It is significant that it hasn’t condemned the plans as it rushes to condemn everything else mooted by the democratically elected government it calls GonziPN. Instead, it uses Astrid Vella to foment discord among the faithful, by giving her time and space on the party media and its loyal newspapers, and by reporting her hogwash as gospel truth to those with an IQ that renders them unable to analyse information correctly.

Only a year ago, Astrid Vella and her FAA were riding high on a wave of what appeared to be popular support, but which was little more than a frenzy of resentment towards anything connected with the affairs of state and GonziPN. Vella and her group of dilettantes became a vehicle for conveying that resentment.

Vella made the quintessential error of believing that her popularity was permanent, having failed to register from the experience of the previous year how quickly adulation for Lawrence Gonzi had been replaced by anger and irritation.

If a week is a long time in politics, something that Vella appears not to understand – just as she doesn’t understand that what she does is political – then a year is an absolute eternity. People get fed up. They move on to the next thing. There is only so much whining they can take.

They lose interest, and whereas it seems sometimes that we prefer inaction to action, the opposite is true. The Renzo Piano project/let’s change Valletta message was always going to be the stronger one in the end, as positive messages tend to be, certainly much stronger than the ‘let’s do nothing because we want an opera house’ chant.

Lots of people are stupid, some of them very stupid, but then lots of others are not. If the facts are brought across, then they will be read and understood. The mistake the government made in the beginning was to let the Astrid brigade of dilettantes without business sense and pie-in-the-sky, castle-in-the-air cant get in first with a flurry of commonsense-obscuring misinformation and rubbish reasoning.

This was a debate which saw the norms of reason turned upside down. Crowds were sold the notion that an opera house is a popular edifice for The People while a parliament house is an elitist structure reserved for the privileged few. The opposite is true, and you shouldn’t need to be told that, but in the maelstrom of madness, The People did not stop to think and to work this out for themselves.

Now they appear to have done so.

The constant references to a ‘roofless theatre’ didn’t help Vella’s group in their mission. It is true that the expression was taken up by legions of those who post comments on the internet and who make their voices heard – a true cacophony of idiocy – in other public forums. But they have been, in large part, people who are uncomfortable speaking or writing English, which should have given Astrid Vella an indication of their level of education and their ability to assess the plans of one of the world’s greatest architects ever.

Nobody who speaks idiomatic English will ever use the term ‘roofless theatre’ – not unless he or she is a supporter of Astrid’s mission. It is an artificial construct which does not exist in proper English. There are theatres and there are open-air theatres, but there are no roofless theatres, just as there are no closed ones.

Astrid Vella should have sniffed the wind long before she took the decision to hold that demo in Valletta last Saturday. Her tunnel-vision, her inability to read public opinion correctly even without surveys or polls – there are clues which you can pick up if you know what they are and where to find them – have rendered her unable to keep touch with reality.

When she brought out on Super One a petition signed by 1,200 of her network of friends and associates and their friends and associates, and brandished this with pride as evidence that she is on the right track in opposing the city gate regeneration plans, I cringed with embarrassment on her behalf.

That is not how you gauge public opinion, how you get a sense of what people really think, not from such restricted circles, and certainly not from going up to someone with a petition and asking them to sign it, which they might well do because refusal offends.

One of the warning signs that Vella should have registered is the public support for her cause manifested lately by all sorts of unusual people, and I use that description in kindness. When that begins to happen, it generally means that the ordinary folk – Mr, Mrs and Miss Normal with no agenda or axe to grind, no black shirt in their cupboard or chip on their shoulder – have moved on and out, leaving space for the whackos and weirdoes and the ones who post STRanGE cOMentZ on tHE iNterNeT!!!!!????

Even with my limited experience of politics and sensing shifts in public opinion, I knew that nobody would turn up to Saturday’s demo. People just don’t feel strongly about the matter anymore. They are in a different place now, one in which any action is better than no action, where a Renzo Piano parliament house is a lot more interesting and attractive than the sight and sound of Astrid Vella tilting at windmills on Super One.

But Vella presses on regardless, causing me to wonder what she will do come 1 April and the start of the project – tie herself to the nearest crane with a Legality Now placard or go on hunger strike, perhaps. A mere 200 souls turned up to her demo and most of them were organisations press-ganged by her persistent telephone calls into doing so. Yes, and there were some fascists and communists, too.

Yet she saw this as massive support and told the television crews so. Malta Today fed her delusion by claiming on its front page that ‘masses’ turned up to support her cause. Astrid Vella has become a puppet in the hands of those who hate GonziPN, but she thinks she has popular support, rather than anti-government support, which is something else altogether. Every cause she picks up from here on in will now be handicapped by these problems of public perception, but she has only herself to blame.

    The Prime Minister has a duty to decide and cannot procrastinate any further.

    He has chosen an architect of worldwide acclaim with the foresight and creativity our capital city sorely needs and deserves.

    At the present moment it is embarrasing to walk into Valletta as it is in a shambles!

    Personally, I would have wished Renzo Piano to handle Valletta as a whole.

    Hopefully this will materialise in the not too distant future.

  2. Nejxu says:

    We now have in Malta the Movement of the Ultra.
    P.S. Expect Twanny’s (usual) “another ettempt to vilify the Leybour parti” comment.

  3. IL KUKUDRILL says:

    TAL LOSTRA :)

  4. Twanny says:

    On what do you base the gratuitious assertion that “The tide has turned” and “public sentiment has shifted,”

    Just because the appointed Gov apparatchiks at Din l-Art Helwa have said so?

    In your dreams.

    By the way – no comments about the restaurant/cum “interpretation centre” at Dwejra?

    [Daphne – It is not a GRATUITOUS assertion, Twanny. I have a bit of an instinct for these things, and there are signs you can pick up, as I said, if you know what to look for. Public sentiment has very definitely shifted, and over and above that, it has hardened, too. This means that it is now too late to change it further. Those who are against at this point will stay against, those who are for will stay for and the rest just don’t care either way and cannot be made to care at this late stage in the game. You know, Twanny, you annoy me a little bit when you act as though I just pluck stuff out of thin air. I don’t. I leave that to Astrid Vella. The general sentiment now is: oh for God’s sake, let’s just get on with it.]

    • Twanny says:

      No, you don’t pluck things out of “thin air” – you just have a “feeling” or “an instinct” (your own words). Pardon me if I am too thick to see the difference.

      [Daphne – Twanny, you are so damned tedious. Trust me on this one. I didn’t emerge from my kitchen two years ago to begin playing at politics.]

    • A.Charles says:

      I have been a member of Din l-Art Helwa for a long time because the issues they take up are well researched and give a sense to their policies. I have never liked the shrieking and hysterical argumentation of Ms. Astrid Vella.

    • Joseph A Borg says:

      Twanny, what do you make of the lacklustre protest at city gate? Where you there?

      Astrid is flogging a dead horse at this point. If she’s still interested in participating in public politics, her best option is to let it fizzle, lie low and slowly re-build her credibility with the thinking public.

      Astroturfing only helps the organisations hidden behind the protesters, the protesting poseurs become pagliacci aimlessly sweeping the floor for their masters, derided by savvy observers.

    The FT Weekend carries a feature on the regeneration of Valletta on page 2 of the House & Home supplement. Who did they speak to? Not Astrid Vella.

    • Anthony Farrugia says:

      I can picture Astrid slaving over a hot keyboard requesting a right of reply from the FT. Still, she might phone up the editor who would be pleased to hear her dulcet voice over the phone. Roll on summer so that dear Astrid will be occupied with her Tini coterie , gossiping about you know who, rummy, etc.

  6. minn_mars says:

    Where did I hear that? Bring in the CLOWNS.

  7. Luigi says:

    I eagerly wait for the project to start on 01/04. At the main gate entrance, those shacks selling disgusting and expired foodstuffs will they be pulled down? And what about the people hanging around there – will they be moved on, including the man who passes derogatory comments to men dressed in a suit?

    And what do we say about that public restroom right beside the entrance of the Central Bank annex? The stench of urine is terrible.

    Good job, Dr. Gonzi – we want you to change the capital city’s entrance.

    • Twanny says:

      You are perfectly right about what needs to be removed. But have you given any thought to what is going to replace it?

      You really see nothing wrong with that horrible gash in the fortifications?

      Nothing inappropriate in the permanent construction site/gorilla cage?

      Really?

      • Isard du Pont says:

        ‘Horrible gash in the fortifications’, ‘gorilla cage’ – pearls before swine, Twanny, and you’re the porker.

      • Twanny says:

        Did you study repartee, or are you naturally gifted?

      • Joseph A Borg says:

        Twanny, when are we going to remove the blinkers and pull this country out of its parochial world-view? Paris has an in iron monstrosity that still looks too modern today after a century. You’re telling us that a century from now, our grandchildren will have a theatre re-built in neoclassical style to remind them of our colonial past and nothing to mark the brave new world we inhabit today or the monstrosity that was WWII? The British didn’t respect Valletta’s architecture and built something new for that time. Why shouldn’t we do the same?

        I don’t want to sound condescending, but getting riled up on such an important project should move you to read what experts around the world are doing. Qualify your criticism with some intelligent comments please, as I like hearing the other point of view – when it’s cogent and researched.

        I sometimes still yearn for that cyclone of a manifesto the Futurists had where they declared war on all that is old. Their biggest problem was getting too cosy with Mussolini…

  8. taxpayer says:

    The space at the old theatre is simply too small to build one for over 700 persons – roughly the same as the MANOEL. So may I ask, cannot we build a theatre somewhere else? Why Valletta?

    • Twanny says:

      Did you measure it yourself, or are you simply accepting what you were told – by people who have a vested interest in making you believe it?

      • freefalling says:

        Twanny – It seems as though you provoke arguments in order to monitor this blog with particular emphasis on the manner in which its moderator responds. Just in case you haven’t noticed, she is far sharper than you can ever hope to be.

        The entrance to Valletta and the bus terminus are eyesores and, as such, are not issues to take lightly or to ridicule. It is substance over words and rhetoric.

      • Snoopy says:

        Just to put it in perspective: a simple Google map search would give you a total area of around 1800 sq m. Manoel Theatre has total area of around 1500 sq m.

    • Michael A. Vella says:

      Well – there is one already where the Radio City Opera House once stood. It is said to run a regular series of comedy turns.

    • Antoine Vella says:

      taxpayer, I agree that a proper theatre complex does not have to be built in Valletta where space is so limited. It makes much more sense to one day build it elsewhere.

      Twanny, you have expressed doubt whether “tony’s” half-witted posts are genuine but your own comments are sometimes just as foolish as his. Are you a put-up job too?

  9. Philip Mario Azzopardi says:

    Wake up and smell the coffee, as ‘Twanny’ has. And give me 600 euros for my theatre, as ‘Twanny’ hasn’t.

    [Daphne – Wake up and smell the coffee, Mario? You really have jOInEd tHe AsTRid BriKede!!!!!????]

    Piu’ Nemici, Piu’ Onore!

  11. Nostradamus formerly Avatar says:

    Someone on this blog (who also is “no Nostradamus”) said that the magistrate saga was of no consequence until taken up by the mainstream press.

    Read this:

    “But, for all this, the argument does not collapse. The allegations remain, which is why the magistrate decided to take court action in relation to libel.

    “It is for the court to decide whether she will be successful in her quest. However, during the course of this case worrying developments have occurred: a senior police officer has denied Dr Scerri Herrera’s assertion that he bought her drinks, while the Commission for the Administration of Justice was forced to issue a statement clarifying that no decision had been taken in any of its proceedings concerning the magistrate after she said the contrary in court. It was also reported – without an ensuing denial – that she publicly dined with a Nationalist MP who is a party in a civil case due before her.

    “Even if the court finds in her favour, Dr Scerri Herrera is likely to be subjected to the same kind of scrutiny Police Commissioner George Grech experienced when he instituted a court case in 2001 after accusations were made against him. Although he was cleared in the overall scheme of things, certain facts emerged which made it impossible for him to continue in his job because the police force had been brought into disrepute.

    “There is something much bigger at stake here than Ms Caruana Galizia or Dr Scerri Herrera. It is the reputation and integrity of the judiciary, which must be maintained at all costs. The question is: will any steps be taken after this case to assure this?”

    No prizes for whoever guesses where it was culled from!

    • Nostradamus formerly Avatar says:

      Afterthought: for those who will be reading this in a few days’ time – it’s from the Editorial of today’s The Sunday Times.

    • La Redoute says:

      The Sunday Times editorial failed to mention all the other cases involving parties with whom Magistrate Herrera socialises e.g. Robert Arrigo, Miriam Dalli, Jesmond Mugliett. And there was no mention – implicitly or otherwise – of the criminal case in Magistrate Herrera’s court involving a former policeman who, while still in the force, was the one who bought drinks and sent them to her table and in whose company she left the restaurant.

      • Nostradamus formerly Avatar says:

        There can be no doubt that La Redoute is right.

        Someone ought to write a letter to The Sunday Times to draw attention to all this.

        Nostradamus formerly known as Avatar can do that. No one would notice if you used your real name.

        That’s why I admire Daphne.

  13. embor says:

    People are now seeing through the stupidities that Astrid utters. For example she claims that government broke the law because it did not adhere to the Aarhus convention. Rubbish! It is one thing saying government should have consulted more – it is a completely different matter arguing that government broke the law.

    This could be another reason for the poor turnout out to the protest.

    Another possible reason may be the shocking arrogance displayed by people like Kenneth Zammit Tabona and Mario Philip Azzopardi.

  14. Farrugia says:

    You wrote about Astrid Vella that

    ‘Wittingly or unwittingly, she has allowed herself to become a tool of the Labour Party and its media machine’.

    Indeed, one of Ms Vella’s ardent fans, Ing. Marco Cremona is now featured regularly on One TV.

    Mr Cremona’s fantastic claims that Malta’s aquifer will ‘dissappear’ in 15 years time has now been contestd by MRA. Quite rightly, MRA has asked Mr Cremona to show the scientific evidence for his claim…..yet none has been forthcoming.

    Clearly, a typical way of shocking the public from Astrid’s lot!

  15. edgar cayce says:

    I think that the few remaining ‘spaces’ should be protected – more so in our capital city. Whether the theatre is built to Piano’s specirfication or not is, as usual, clouded in typical Maltese style arguments of us and them. I am no architect and have limited experience in theatre-going (even then solely from an audience angle) so I do not feel qualified to suggest shape and form. I do have a gut feeling however that leaving this as an open air edifice will not, somehow, work. Certainly and with due respect I do not think that there is any pressing need for a ‘new’ parliament cramming Freedom Square. More so now that the brilliant wide open car free space at St.George’s square really gives our present parliament (under going rehab) a ‘new’ look. What definitely needs to be done is to get rid of the “souq” look and also get rid of the horrendous aluminium kiosks at the City entrance! Piano or no Piano!

    • Twanny says:

      You have put your finger on the most salient point that has been sidelined in all the arguments about the roofless theatre.

      And this is the fact there is no earthly reason why parliament cannot stay where it is. The hall is more than adequate, though it could do with some refurbishment. The palace is more than big enough to accommodate both parliament and the President, with his minuscule staff. If there is need for more office space, this could be accommodated in the “Mainguard” building – it won’t hurt them to cross the square once in a while.

      Symbolically, it is also the ideal place, combining the functions of the state (Pres) and the executive in the building that has been the symbol of the Maltese State for centuries.

      Lawrence Gonzi simply wants something to be remembered by. I think he will get his wish – for all the wrong reasons.

      [Daphne – You have such limited thinking, Twanny. What’s best -the situation as it is now with a hideous gate area and parliament stuffed into the place? Or a Renzo Piano-designed parliament house – at last! – and a palace freed up for museum space? And stop it with the roofless theatre, for your sake. You sound like some kind of hick.]

      • Twanny says:

        The best, as I see it, is for parliament to remain where it is and where it belongs, a proper Opera House along the lines of Barry’s masterpiece and a redesigned square.

        If, as some claim (though they have never, as far as I know, backed it up) the footprint is too small, there is nothing wrong in increasing it at the expense of part of the square – it is big enough to take it.

        Oh, and, of course, a Gate to fit the style of the rest of the fortifications, not that horrible slash.

        [Daphne – Well, thank God you’re not the project designer then, Twanny. When I need my boxroom sorted out, I’ll ring you.]

      • Brian says:

        Time will tell Tawnny. I just cannot understand our mentality. After 67 years of neglect this government finally had the balls to do something about it. Stop whining will you. Let’s look on the bright side of things…now the ‘elite’ can really flaunt their mink fur coats in that ‘roofless theatre’.

      • Twanny says:

        I’m sure I would find lots of interesting stuff. May I sort out your mailbox, while I’m at it? :)

      • freefalling says:

        You are completely right, times do change! It’s a pity you don’t follow suit.

      • La Redoute says:

        Twanny sounds rather like Victor Laiviera, right down to the nervous tick “smilies”.

      • Joseph A Borg says:

        So you’re saying that the Palace can accommodate new technologies, with trunking for networks (wireless connections are not good), back-up generators, air-conditioning, media facilities and most importantly earthquake resistance, lest we want to repeat what happened in Haiti when a quake strikes.

        Most importantly, do you think there is enough space for the support staff MPs require to do their work?

        The palace should become a showcase of the golden age of the Knights of St John.

  20. Antoine Vella says:

    This has been said many times but bears repeating: just because everyone has a right to an opinion doesn’t mean that all opinions carry equal weight.

    A few weeks ago I made a quick search for newspaper articles about the Piano proposals and it turns out that more knowledgeable people have spoken in favour of the project than against.

    • Twanny says:

      Could you be more specific?

      • Antoine Vella says:

        With rare exceptions, architects and cultural heritage NGOs are in favour. Political parties are either in favour (PN, AD) or non-committal (PL). Of the NGOs which took part in the recent protest, only FAA is involved in architectural heritage (albeit in a very shallow misinformed way).

      • Twanny says:

        As far as I know, the only NGO (perhaps the “N” is innappropriate) that pronounced itself in favour is Din l-Art Helwa.

      • Antoine Vella says:

        Twanny, if “as far as you know” it’s only Din l’Art Ħelwa which is in favour of the Piano plans, your knowledge does not go very far. There’s also Fondazzjoni Wirt Artna and Valletta Alive Foundation who have expressed their support. Together, these three make up practically the entire spectrum of cultural heritage NGOs active on a national or Valletta basis.

        What other relevant organisation besides FAA is against?

      • Twanny says:

        Antoine, wjhat you are saying is simply not true.

        Here is the opinion of the Fondazzjoni Wirt Artna, taken from their own website:

        “With regard to the Royal Opera House ruins, FWA still retains that this building ought to be rebuilt to its original 19th century design despite all the talk against the rebuilding of ‘fakes’. This can easily be done on the hugely successful model of Norman Foster’s Reichstag in Berlin.”

        http://www.wirtartna.org/Default.aspx?tabid=1279

    • Antoine Vella says:

      Twanny, from your own FWA link: the Piano proposals “are generally positive from a heritage point of view.”

      “The overall nature of the project is impressive despite being overtly minimalistic in its nature. This should have a positive impact on the planned regeneration of Valletta.”

      They would like the old theatre to be rebuilt – nothing wrong with that – but they have nonetheless expressed themselves in favour of the Piano proposals, which is what I said. They do not support Astrid Vella’s crusade.

      This is something difficult for you and other Lil’Elves to understand: the anti-project lobby is not criticised because of its idea about what should be done (that is perfectly legitimate) but because of its arrogance and the offensive language it generally uses to denigrate Piano and the government.

      • embor says:

        @Antoine Vella “the anti-project lobby is not criticised because of its idea about what should be done (that is perfectly legitimate) but because of its arrogance and the offensive language it generally uses to denigrate Piano and the government.”

        Well said! Some people are unable to put pen to paper without displaying arrogance. KZT’s opinion in today’s Times is another example.

  21. anton borg says:

    On the other hand, you might find that 1st April turns out to be an omen (April fool??). Valletta needs a city gate, not a hole; I also feel that the parliament building, when completed, may look worryingly out of place in a baroque city. I hope you are not allowing yourself to support eh Piano project because it is taking shape under a PN Govt; I happen to be a PN supporter, but, unlike you, do not necessarily feel that I ought to slavishly support anything the Party recommends or plans. That disastrous type of support is reminiscent of the Mintoff years. Astrid Vella is no Labourite; she may not be perfect by any means, but at least she does not demean herself by constantly launching personal attacks against people. I was taught that personal abuse usually means the abuser has lost the argument!

    [Daphne – Valletta is not a baroque city. It was built in the late 16th century. I support the project because Renzo Piano is one of the greatest architects of all time, and nothing and nobody less will do for Valletta. Astrid Vella launches personal attacks on people all the time; it all depends on what your definition of a personal attack is. We don’t share it, obviously.]

    • anton borg says:

      I was thinking about comments about her hair colouring (in a previous blog) and the frequent use of the word “whining”.

      [Daphne – And that’s a personal attack, is it? This is what I consider a personal attack: waking up at 3am with my house on fire. You people really need to grow up.]

      For what it’s worth, I have read your articles since your days with The Times. I simply think you are far too good a journalist to resort to the sort of comment I refer to above.

      [Daphne – It is precisely because I am good at what I do that I crack jokes about politicians and demo leaders. If you want to subscribe to the mealy-mouthed, holier-than-thou artificial formality of what passes for journalism in Malta, go right ahead. But count me out. I belong to the contemporary, real world.]

      Attacking ideas and actions should be sufficient in my view. I agree Piano is a great architect, but his designs are, in my opinion (and I accept that I am no architect), best suited for cities with predominantly 20th/21st century buildings.

      [Daphne – Valletta has many 20th century buildings. And if you know of a city – a real one, that is, and not Mdina – which has been preserved intact for centuries, let us know. I’m struggling here because I can’t think of a single one.]

      I just fear the new city entrance and parliament building may well stick out like a sore thumb and a fantastic opportunity to restore Valletta’s entrance will have been sacrificed at the altar of a grandiose, but inappropriate project.

      I live in UK, having left Malta as a medical student during the doctors’ strike; if you’d have the opportunity to look at the Scottish parliament building and the millennium dome, you will understand where my concerns are coming from. Both were extremely expensive architectural disasters.

      [Daphne – I absolutely loved the Scottish parliament. The millennium dome is irrelevant.]

      • anton borg says:

        The Millenium Dome irrelevant?? That monstrosity cost £800million to build! Best thing it did was to feature in a Bond movie. As for the Scottish parliament building, it came in 12 times over budget and does not sit well opposite Holyrood Palace; the local tourist guides have great fun pillorying it. However, fair enough, you like the design, so there’s the end of it.

        To answer a question of yours, try Santiago de Compostela-beautifully preserved. As for my needing to grow up-no thank you-the day I let go entirely of the little boy inside me will be the day my sense of humour and, probably, my life ends!

        Not that setting folks’ houses on fire is at all amusing; far from it, and I hope the coward who did that comes to a sticky end some day My preference is simply for gentle humour, rather than the more, let us say, angry. variety. Have a good night.

    • Antoine Vella says:

      Anton Borg,

      Why are people who express appreciation of the Piano proposals “slavishly support(ing) anything the Party recommends” while you are – obviously – more intelligent, balanced, sensible and honest? Do you even realise how insolent this reasoning is?

      • anton borg says:

        My friend, you missed my point entirely; I have no problem with people appreciating Piano’s plans; I was simply reacting to so much vitriol being chucked at some of us PN supporters who, because we don’t like the plans, have been vilified as closet PL people, or idiots who do the PL’s work for them!

    • La Redoute says:

      Valletta is not preserved in aspic. It was built as a military city and has been added to over the years. Why would the parliament building look any more out of place than the various churches, houses, commercial buildings and apartment blocks that have been built there?

    • mc says:

      @anton borg “she does not demean herself by constantly launching personal attacks against people.”

      Anton borg must be joking! In several instances, FAA attacked the integrity of persons who did something or took a decision which was not to their liking.

    • ciccio2010 says:

      Anton, Have you set aside your Euro 600 for the People’s Theatre? There is one being built in Pyong Yang.

      Travel a few years into the future, and imagine yourself looking at the new project in 2013, at completion. If the right quality materials are used, then, with the capabilities of architect Renzo Piano, the project should be magnificent, and it will be a landmark building on a global scale.

      Now let me add another dimension which has not been discussed much, I think. In cities like London, Washington and Canberra – let us put it this way, the Anglosaxon world, where democracy is truly upheld and practised – the parliament house is one of the most prominent buildings.

      • anton borg says:

        Pyongyang? Enjoy it if you plan to go there. Myself, I had enough of the North Koreans when they came to Malta to help train the “Police” in the 1970s.

      • ciccio2010 says:

        Anton, there still is a possibility that the Koreans will be called back to Malta to train a new generation of police, after 2013. Until then, ASTa la vista…

  22. P M says:

    Twanny, just a small question:

    Do YOU see something wrong with that gash in the fortifications just under the Lower Barrakka? The one made by the late Lorry Sant?

  23. TROY says:

    This Twanny is a waste of space, he’s always complaining. He reminds me of a cartoon character who’s always so pessimistic, with words like ” we’re doomed” “It will never fit” “It will never work” and so on. For God’s sake Twanny go write on one of Labour’s gloom and doom newspapers where I’m sure you’ll have a hell of a time amusing all those numb nuts that read them.

    • La Redoute says:

      Dilbert.

      • Anthony Farrugia says:

        Anybody remember the Scots character in “Dad’s Army” whose punch line was “We are DOOMED” uttered in a beyond the tomb voice? Remind you of anyone? Twanny is working overtime today; oh it’s Sunday, so it’s twice normal rate.

      • Joseph A Borg says:

        Dilbert is the hero of the oppressed white collar classes. He shouldn’t merit your opprobrium. Maybe you prefer Alice?

        At least I hope pointy-haired boss is not your hero.

    • La Redoute says:

      Shall we have a whip round and buy Tony a new keyboard?

    • Manuel says:

      Tony,

      I bet you’re a ploy by Daphne to market the blog. You don’t really exist.

      [Daphne – He’s real. And I don’t market the blog. It sells itself.]

      • Twanny says:

        I’ve said that before. Still convinced of it.

      • Antoine Vella says:

        Manuel and Twanny

        You have been brainwashed into thinking that there is no Labour rabble: it must be an invention of GonziPN apologists and “imported spin-doctors”. Tony exists and was probably one of the morons screaming their heads off at Valletta three weeks ago. You might even have rubbed shoulders with him.

    • Aristocrat says:

      I was very much tempted to think like Manuel… but then I realized that this man must be for real. There are recurrent thought patterns in his writings.
      If he thinks highly of Lorry Sant, he must be from the South. Probably from Paola or thereabouts. What do others think?

  25. MS says:

    Could it be that the term ‘roofless theatre’ was used as a sort of marketing buzzword by the project’s opposers because ‘open-air theatre’ sounds too good? If that is the case I guess it makes perfect sense in the context of its objective as it suggests that something important missing. They might not be so stupid after all.

    [Daphne – They might have thought it clever, and it might have been effective in the short term, but now they just sound like hicks.]

  26. N.L says:

    Twanny, from the sea, the Lower Barrakka fortifications are the main entrance to Malta.

  27. Allan Gatt says:

    Twanny, int hekk tirrispondih lill- Prim Ministru?

    Tsk-tsk.

  28. Jake says:

    The more I read on our local current affairs the more I become sceptical of our political system. I am a realist, however, at the same time I do expect an improvement especially on how we as a country deal with issues such as projects.

    I hope that in the next election I will be able to resist the temptation of giving my vote, I used to think that now that the great political battles are over (EU etc) a new era of a general improvement of the way we do things will be the battle of political parties.

    The most important thing is that we are now part of the EU and that we are more geared towards a free market economy and that we have the internet that enables us living on these small rocks to connect to the outside world, for the rest it’s all a waste of time.

    I’ve come to the conclusion that the best way for us is to live as independently as possible, ignore local current affairs and local newspapers and other local issues and live as if we are guests living in a foreign country.

    Ideally we should work as hard as we can and manage our finances well to afford at least a holiday or two every year which is very good for giving us a breath of fresh air!

    If you find a good opportunity to work abroad and you are really fed up of the way Malta works just take it and wave goodbye to Malta.

    • ciccio2010 says:

      Jake, do not despair as yet. But politics is the same everywhere – it is full of controversies, the unexpected, mistakes, glory, stories of corruption, honest people, etc. If you are a realist, then you should know this by now.

      If you intend to follow only foreign news, do not expect much better. Take Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Ireland…
      However, yes, ideally one should be able to live happily without having to watch the news on One, Net and TVM in the same evening, reading the papers (and the comments in the online version!) etc.

      Politics should not interfere much with our life. But, unfortunately, this country continues to have too much political controversy. And I think that the Labour Party has recently increased the dose, building on the majority achieved in the EU parliamentary elections, creating what I see as a really big Partit tad-Dwejjaq, where everyone is complaining and protesting about everything even when no viable alternative is presented by those protesting.

      Maybe this used to be the way to mobilise the Maltese people, but are we sure this has to continue to be so?

  29. Mark C says:

    The Piano project will be a memorial to Gonzi’s sheer arrogance and he will be remembered as a failure, a semi dictator, an annulity, and as a ruthless obstinate modern day democratic dictator. Even Piano himself admitted that the public consent is of the utmost importance and that the people were always right. Indeed the people are right. Gonzi wants to ruin our heritage and change the baroque architecture into a personalised parliament simply for his ego let it be. We will not forget this treachery. Gonzi will prove to be Pn’s downfall just like Sant was PL’s worst nightmare.

    • Corinne Vella says:

      If ‘the people’ are right and must be indulged, please provide plans that will incorporate the following.

      a theatre
      an open air theatre
      a concert hall
      an opera house in a contemporary design
      a reproduction of the former opera house to be used as an opera house
      a reproduction the former opera house to house a shopping mall
      an art gallery
      a museum of modern art
      a shopping mall in a contemporary design
      a public garden with low trees and shrubs and benches
      a fountain
      a monument to La Valette
      a monument to Dom Mintoff
      a monument to Gorg Borg Olivier
      a parliament building
      a library
      a bridge lined with statues like they have in Rome (sic)
      an exhibition hall
      a park
      a car park
      a moat that cuts across the Valletta peninsula with water borne transport between Sliema creek and the Grand Harbour

      Those are just the proposals I can remember.

      • Mark C says:

        I never said it should be built on every person’s whim and liking. But there is a consensus. The consensus is, we don’t like Piano’s project. We want a baroque city and not a modernised concrete slab, we’ve seen enough of that all over Malta. We want it to remain fortified. We want it untarnished and we certainly do not want a boring parliament to greet the entrance. An open public square like st.goerges square is much more agreeable, just tell me which other capital city would you find a parliament in front of your face as soon as you enter. The public should be consulted and a consensus found I’m sure there are crucial points where the majority would agree on, and the ones I mentioned are the points which irked the public most. Then after the Pm wins the public’s approval (and I don’t mean 100% of the people I mean over 50%) then the architects and experts can continue from there. Public projects hence the name should have public consent otherwise they will backfire and instead of making us feel proud of our capital we will see it as an act or arrogance and defiance to build it his own way. How childish indeed.

      • La Redoute says:

        There is no consensus. And that is the point I made.

        Speak for yourself, but don’t say “we”. It’s incorrect both grammatically and literally. I rather like the design, but I wouldn’t dream of including you when I say that.

        It all depends on how you enter a city. There’s a rather prominent building on the River Thames that comes to mind.

        ‘The public should be consulted’. The public *has* been consulted and people have more than made their voice heard, which is how I could compile that list without having to do any research. Complaints and criticism were actually part of the project exhibition put up at the Auberge de Provence.

        The arrogance and defiance I see is among those who believe they can speak for me when I never voted for them to do so.

        You may feel very strongly about the project now, but the one thing The People have in common is that we are not here forever so why do you imagine that your views are the ones that should prevail?

      • Mark C says:

        La Redoute I do not speak just for myself. We have all seen the thousand of letters against the project, comments and polls on times. Public consultation does not mean a party meeting where the public is supposedly consulted. It means polls, random phone calls and yes a referendum if need be. Mhux attaparsi ikkonsulta n nies jaghmel laqa ta malajr hadd ma jaf biha ihallihom jeqirdu imbaghad jaghmel ta rasu xorta. Dak ma jissejahx konsult. Dak jissejjah attaparsi ‘konsult.’

      • Twanny says:

        An yet, with all those suggestions, the gov had to go for the worst option possible.

        Go figure

        [Daphne – Renzo Piano, the worst option possible. Il-vera Laburist, ta, Twanny, jahasra. But what should we expect from somebody who, faced with a choice between KMB and Eddie Fenech Adami for prime minister in 1992 (when we had experienced both as prime minister already) voted to bring back KMB? Ghandek gosti, ukoll. Wise judgement, Twan.]

      • Twanny says:

        I’m afraid I gave up adoring idols (in this world and any other) in my teens.

        I do not approve/disapprove of any project simply on the bases of who signed it.

        I have looked at the Piano proposals objectively (believe it or not) and non-politically (again, believe it or not, as you like) and I don’t like any of them.

        Their origin is immaterial to me.

      • Twanny says:

        That should have been “basis” not “bases” – damn spellchecker!

      • Corinne Vella says:

        I’m not sure I follow this line of reasoning. Renzo Piano’s designs are rubbish but Twanny’s opinion is…what?

  30. Overestimated Shakespeare aka Nostradamus formerly Avatar says:

    I have had to add “Overestimated Shakespeare” because an opinion has been posted that “this author (Shakespeare) is overestimated”.

    “Nostradamus” because Sharon – whose sibling accompanied a certain Magistrate to the Far East – builds her political assessment of the EU on the premise that she is not Nostradamus.

    I am still incredulous. How can people think and write or say such things? Anyhow, that’s not the point.

      Candles and scandals,
      an environment in shambles,
      Heartless greed,
      with those in need,
      Unaccoutanble misdeed.
      An endless inflation,
      the wreck of a nation,
      a macabre deceit,
      a government without receipt,
      an annulity, a cheat.
      Persistent ravings,
      Stolen savings,
      a constant barrage
      of a delusional mirage.

      Have you no shame,
      no heart, no conscience
      for those in need,
      for those in pain
      A 3rd world nation in all but name,
      but when it comes to who’s to blame
      for them it’s just a well played game.
      Blame the socialists,
      blame the stars,
      the moon, the rain.
      But never the thieving crooks
      Who stand to gain.
      I guess we all know why,
      becuase they’re one and the same.

    Why is everything political? Piano’s ideas are brilliant, but not all. The entrance seems odd and probably will turn into an eyesore. Piano is the best but he can err or not? For our sake and all the taxpayer money lets hope he doesn’t. I for one don’t like his idea for the entrance.

  32. Oscar says:

    I agree with you 100% Jake. I always contended that we fought to join the EU only to continue to manage our affairs according to village band club rules. A couple of weeks ago Dr.Gonzi was lauding our success within the EU while about 15 people were smoking in the room beneath (within the same PN club in Fleur de Lys). Still others were blocking the street with their vehicles to listen to the PM’s speech. Typical and farcical.

    There’s something that’s been overlooked in this long drawn out debate about the opera house site. The open air theatre is designed to function as a public square when it is not being used for performances.

    In terms of what is the best use of the site – as opposed to what is the best site for a theatre or concert hall – that serves the broader public far better than a building that theoretically would be open to all but in reality would be accessed only by the few.
