Now we will see what Marco has to say about Joseph’s bright idea!

This is what he argued two years ago:

“Marco Cremona
Oct 19th 2010, 12:13
Hello,hello!! I have said this all along, and especially when the PM announced the sea-reclamation project in conjunction with the announcement of 3 golf courses, the first planned for Ix-Xaghra L-Hamra. In both instances it turns out that I was right, common sense prevailed and both sci-fi projects are now effectively dead.

Sea-reclamation projects in other countries (notably Japan and Singapore) augment services such as ports, harbours – not for real estate. Moreover, Singapore flattened half the country to make the material for sea reclamation readily available, and did not wait for the odd C&D waste vehicle to be redirected from Maghtab to go to the reclamation site.

Coupled with the fact that the C&D material at Maghtab is contaminated with God knows what and cannot be used for any sea-reclamation project, this idea was clearly a non-starter.

Unfortunately, we have lost the best of 5 years studying this ‘opportunity’ when we should have implemented sustainable and realistic ways of conserving our stone resource. If this project were given the green light we would have ended excavating good virgin stone (of which we only have 40 years left) simply to justify the sea reclamation project.”

It seems he’s been caught between a rock and a hard place.

He is conspicuous by his silence, unlike the outspoken Dr Deidun for example.

We will see wether Daphne summed him up correctly.

A deeply disturbing individual.

Maybe her choice of guest should have sounded alarm bells, in much the same way as when she chose to feature Karen and Jesmond Mugliett.

Not all, but quite a few do. They obviously have it done professionally so it isn’t obvious. Even Kennedy used to wear make-up decades ago….

Dear Galian, I think you’re wrong about Marco.

Is it OK for you to have precious fresh water used that way?

Marco is genuinely angry about this water park if it is run on fresh water. Even if we start to pay to enter, it sends the wrong messages.

If it runs on sea water than it’s another story.

This idea is plain stupid like the other one of having turf in our roundabout landscaping…it’s just not on.

To be a man, one has to have balls. Jeffrey simply lacks the basics.

Another one who thrives in the limelight. He even was on TV parading the adopted twins, as if they were the first couple ever to adopt kids, in order to inflate his big-headedness further.

He tries to tweak the adoption as an act of genorisity. He embarassed all the honest and struggling adoptive parents, given that the process is long and painful.

The 2005 outline permit for the disco was revoked by Mepa when the scandal broke out. In any case it would have been valid for five years only so someone has to re-apply and start the process all over again.
