Someone should tell him to lose that photo. He looks like an extra on Madonna’s “Vogue” music video.

With a picture of Joseph looking on, hanging on the wall.

Labour has given safe harbour to somebody who stands accused of trying to stir up homophobic revulsion against his own ex boyfriend, by circulating images of him having sex with men.

‘Mr’ Saliba is not just a fan of that rotten homophobic website. He was one of its active promoters until he got the fright of his life when threatened with police action.

A law student who “didn’t know” that he was breaking the law.

Of course, I’m not suggesting that he – along with Pia Micallef and sundry other elves – was actively involved in setting up and feeding trash into that website, but they certainly know who does.

Frankly, this is one of the most pathetically uninformative letters I have experienced in about fifty years of reading. I’m not saying you’re wrong, simply that I can’t know one way or the other, because you give no facts.

Mr Saliba, no matter how many people you manage to fool, I will never believe you or any of your friend Elves after you instantly became a fan of a rotten homophobic website.

Bil-fatti my foot!

Presumably the Equality Mark is based on the PL pigeonholes being of equal size.

Pathetically uncultured audience

I have been visiting Gozo regularly for the past 30 years. In 2005 I was pleased to be able to assist, as a theatre consultant, with the improvements to the Astra Theatre.

I was then able to introduce Larry Kierkegaard to assist as one of the world’s greatest theatre acousticians – all our services being donated for free.

My recent visit coincided with the Festival Mediterranea celebrating 7,000 years of culture on Gozo. I was anticipating attending Norma on October 29 knowing the love so many Maltese and Gozitans have for opera and international music.

No doubt some of the audience were there to be seen at a social occasion and others were representing a number of generous patrons alongside the distinguished patronage of the President and many government and tourist departments.

However, I was very concerned that the behaviour of the audience and the lack of respect shown for the artists manifested itself throughout the performance which was disturbed in so many ways.

It certainly was one of the most pathetically uncultured audiences I have experienced in nearly 50 years of theatregoing.”
