Of course there are details that I don’t quite like or agree with.

But when you get Nazi fetishists HATING the whole project, it makes you think.

Hmm there must be something good about it.

The Teatro Alla Scala is run by a foundation set up in 1997, with private, commercial and state financing. It just manages to break even. Corriere della Sera reported on 13 November 2009 that were it not for extraordinary corporate sponsorships, the foundation would have run a deficit of Euro 10.8 million.

The same report says that about 57% of the foundation’s funds derive from ticket sales, subscriptions, and private sector contributions, and this percentage is rising – this with about 450,000 seats sold in a year.

It is more than ironic.

It reveals a deeply ingrained colonial and backward mentality. On timesonline.com Astrid Vella said, “a foreign social scientist studying Malta told me that attitudes in Maltese society have not progressed much since the autocratic arrogance of the Knights.”

Assuming that she quoted him/her correctly, she quotes a typical foreign patronising git who is ever so keen to show off his or her presumed superiority over the “backward locals” and Astrid Vella falls for it.

There are so many different aspects of the project that it is no surprise that there is some detail of the project which one disagrees with. Many people are mature enough to understand that decisions need to be taken and that even if there is disagreement on some detail, the project must proceed. I am all for the project being implemented even if there are some aspects which I disagree with.

At the political level, PN is for the project. PL have not declared itself against the project. AD is in favour. These are the persons who have the trust of almost all those who cast their vote. So where are the 80% who are against the project?

‘This is the last, miserable act of Briguglio’s miserable party.’

Sounds like a broken record.

What black smoke?
