Someone says the usual mantra about MEPA – it can now be said about FAA “FAA is strong with the weak and weak with the strong.”

My thoughts exactly, does she really think Piano would risk his reputation, that he’s not used to real criticism?

She is dangerous, setting the lowest standards in public discourse, her taste verging on the grotesque. She can’t distinguish form in its abstract. Baroque, in her book, is individual detail, orders and recognisable signs.

Her proposals are uncanny in their similarity to Lowell’s, bombastic, non-functional, oppressive and melanchonic.

This thing with foreigners was the logical conclusion to her obsession with regimented uniformity.

Then there’s the interesting zig zag in the adjacent ring road, totally against good practice and safety standards.

I expect her to request compensation if she’s asked to provide at least the service road for public access to the properties. Fancy that.

jackie, this plot doesn’t in any way correspond to the rationalisation process. It lies squarely outside the boundary. There’s no other area submitted to LN71 sticking out like a sore thumb as this one.

It’s also questionable how the application was made by third parties, and not simply for political reasons, imagine being a creditor.

A PC application, obligatory in this case as per the legal notice, requires the name of the owners to be published, third party owners informed, the works. I don’t see it here.

[Daphne – Why? That’s how I actually speak.]

This, if I may, is a challenge; if Astrid Vella, or the FAA don’t speak out, we can safely assume she’s onto it as well.

After all, the rumours about hire-a-lobbyist have become a sick joke. Thankfully, Labour will always, inevitably, end up in this crap, too ravenous to resist.

Given that Astrid insisted on establishing herself as the island’s guardian, anything less than a sincere protest against Yana’s hypocrisy isn’t acceptable.

As for trying to denigrate Piano, the more time passes, the more bitter she sounds, the perfect illustration of Labour’s deceit.

And quite rightly as ciccio says the chapel which at the moment can be seen from miles away in open countryside will be engulfed within (most probably) tall buildings.

Funny, that kappella (chapel) seems to have its entrance from the site marked for development.

The circle in the middle of the chapel signifies a ‘dome’ of some sort, which means that the chapel has its back to the street.

Where would its entrance be if the site marked in yellow is built up?

“She deploys two weights and two measures, depending on the political orientation of her targets”. Hmmmm…. sounds familiar! Anyway, hats-off for exposing this particular outrage. It is a bona fide political scandal. It’s just a shame you have to be such a bully.

[Daphne – Exactly how am I a bully, Jackie? Because I don’t conform to the southern Mediterranean ideal of feminine coyness while being taller than most men? It’s strange how, sometimes, women are by far the greater misogynists. The real bully in this equation is Mrs Vella, but because she’s small and squeaky and not particularly bright, some people don’t actually register the fact. I’m afraid you’re one of those people who confuse the quite obvious fact that I am completely un-bully-able (always was) with the notion that it must be because I am a bully myself. Wrong. It’s because I’m completely indifferent to their efforts. I think of them as people rushing up against a glass wall and smashing themselves against it in their attempts at getting at me, while I watch them on the other side of it and laugh. ]
