Dan mhux suppost qieghd jiehu hsieb l-istitut tax-xjenza u teknologija?
Kif issa inxtehed fuq il-“car parks”?
Ma naghmlux moghod li wara li rrizenja mill-PN u mar indipendenti qieghed jahseb biex jirrizenja minn “Chairman” tal-kullegg tax-xjenza u teknologija wkoll peress li ma ghadux jifforma parti mill-partit li tah dan l-impieg b’eluf ta’ ewros fis-sena u ghallhekk irid isib xi xoghol iehor barra ta’ dentist?
Why doesn’t he come up with a proposal using some science and technology?
It’s incredible what those two can do.
Quite frankly I don’t know what all the fuss is about. The public parking system as it stands is a thinly-veiled protection money racket, bordering on the criminal.
Various thugs point at empty parking spaces (as though we couldn’t find them without help) and then jangle the change in their pockets and leer at you, clearly implying that you better pay up buddy, or that car of yours might have a few more scratches to it when you come back.
Privatise it all and good riddance to the lot of them I say.
@ J.P.
” At best defective and at worst bizarre”
Pray tell me, how would you then describe, in your own ‘infallible’ words, your handling of the Mistra scandal?
I love the privatisation of car parks idea and can’t see why they are opposing it.
This will put those car park attendants, authorised or not, in their place.
Why should I park my car, get out and be approached by one of these men who asks for ‘a donation talli tipparkja’.
Shouldn’t there be a fixed fee? And if there isn’t at the moment, because the car parks haven’t been privatised, why do some car park attendants authorise themselves to ask for two euros?
How did these people qualify to answer to nobody?
There is a need to control the present parkers by establishing the fee they can charge, As there is nothing which says how much one should tip them, there are some who tell you what you have to give them, when they have no right to do this.
But to privatize the open car-parks and not establish what fee can be charged, which fee should be a reasonable one, is not on.
Qbadta minn sieqa. Public car park attendants should not charge any sort of fee because – drum roll – these are not paid car parks. Tips are option in theory but what we have in effect is an extortion system – pay up or else.
Sede Sapienze – The one who knows it all – X’antipatijja!!
Rubbish.
I’d rather have one fixed fee than various attendants asking for ‘a donation’.
By the way, the minute you give them less than they expect, just to ‘let you ‘park’ on grounds that do not belong to them, they’ll swear at you.
The way I see it, is the fairest way to all.
Bil-Malti u biex niftiehmu: il-parkers qazzuha, mur ghid lilhom.
Tismaghhom jitkellmu tahsibhom li qalbhom tahraqhom ghalina. L-istess bhal siehbu J Mugliett.
Ghadni kif qrajt li habbar ir-rizenja tieghu mill-Kumitat tal-Verifika (Audit) ghax ma qabilx li l-Gvern ihallas 3.2m euro ghall-akkwist ta’ madwar 100 spazju ghall-parkegg fl-MCP. Naturalment, bhalissa kulhadd qed jibghat il-kummenti tieghu (l-iktar negattivi) dwar ‘dan l-iskandlu’.
Minghajr ma nidhol fil-merti tal-kaz (ghax ghadna ma nafux il-verita kollha), ikolli nerga’ niftakar kemm hawn min JINSA’ MALAJR. Insejtu l-ghageb li sar qabel l-ahhar elezzjoni bid-‘dealings’ ta’ dawn it-tnejn; wiehed bl-izvilupp tal-wied tal-Mistra u l-iehor bil-mina ta’ Manwel Dimech!
Kif ma tindunawx li dawn it-tnejn M’HUMIEX KREDIBBLI?! jigifieri ma tistax tafdhom. Ma jisthoqqilhomx l-attenzjoni li minn zmien ghal zmien, inkella l-hin kollu, iriduna ntuhom biex inserhulhom l-ego-centrizmu taghhom. Illum ma fadal ebda dubju li seww’ ghamel il-Prim Ministru li hallihom barra mill-Kabinett tieghu wara l-eghmil zlejali taghhom.
Tassew li hadd m’hu perfett mis-sema l-isfel, imma jekk bniedem jitlef l-irgulija bi slejalta’ lejn is-sewwa oggettiv, allura ma haqqu l-ebda rispett. Anzi fil-kariga u l-fiducja li nghataw haqqhom biss l-ISTMERRIJA tal-poplu kollu li f’ismu ghandhom l-ardir li jitkellmu!
Ghall-inqas m’hux il-boghod il-mument li huma u l-agir irresponsabbli u zlejali taghhom jindifen (mhux jintesa’) fl-annali tal-istorja ta’ pajjizna.
So very well said ‘Last Post’-
Pullicin pulcinell mur stahba mill-irgiel ta stoffa li ma jistghux ma jikkundanawx l-imgieba mistmerra tieghek li qed tkompli tippersisti fiha biex turina kemm inti bravu.
Ara veru fik il-hasra; inutli tinheba wara kawzi li jappellaw ghall-gallarija – issa ikun zgur li taghmel sens jekk terga tibki bikja twila u genwina.
Go astray once and for all, for your own good. Shame, shame, shame on you.
Miskin. Clutching at straws.
These three are doing whatever they can to damage the government. They’re awful. Only a PN victory with a more loyal team can stop this madness.
Miskin ta’ vera… Kulhadd jitnejjek bih lill-bikkej:

How about a petition against Mistra Disco. Ja ipokrita u gakbin.
2375 signatures. Impressive?
JPO, that would give you a seat in the new parliament, just by yourself, if you dare just participate in the elections as an independent candidate.
Is the electoral roll online?
If not, where can it be viewed?

Mugliett has an issue with the terms and conditions of the extension of the Floriana car park.
He says the spaces being sold by the operator to government result excessively priced.
What does he have to say to Joseph’s complaint that the other operator, in Hamrun, should have received a lot more funds in the name of these blessed public-private partnerships?
Joseph Muscat had this to say last February.
‘Dr Muscat noted that government assistance was scant, simply amounting to the site’s devolution and an €88,000 grant obtained through the Malta Environment and Planning Authority’s parking scheme. Mayor Vince Bonello also lamented the lack of government assistance, noting that the council would upgrade St Joseph High Street if such assistance were received. He said that the town’s centre deserved the attention given to others, and that he was banking his hopes on a future Labour government to be able to embark on the project….’
According to Joseph, handing over a prime site in Hamrun wasn’t enough.
It’s also interesting how the sum given amounted to 168,000 Euros. Methinks there’s so much more to this parking business than can be read.
The impression I get, confirmed so many times by the careless talk, is that preferential treatment should be available to everyone, just stay in the qeue, that Joseph has the time for everyone. I believe there are newcomers to this blog who can confirm this.
Forget the vulgarity, what’s unsustainable here is the fractioned thinking.
Labour seem to be enamoured of the idea that parking, if privatised, should be open to multiple operators. (Strange, I thought the plan was exactly that, why the UHM was involved in talks, representing the rights of those affected.)
Where will that lead any coordination in traffic management around the island if a myriad of differing interests are allowed to consolidate a lobby to oppose any disruption in the resulting micro individual operations? Surely coordinatiojn requires a single interlocutor.
We will be reduced to a point where the term nationwide initiative results a non-starter. Is this where Joseph wants to go?
Ho hum, change to ensure everything remains the same.
Slowly, even if they won’t say it, their allergy to a sense of order and evolution in thinking, subdued to the limits of locality and consequent entropy, have surfaced.
We should according to Joseph’s PL, have the right to cheap water to fill our pools, the right to occupy public space with our cars, the right to buy any size of car and so on.
Then there’s the minor detail to Mepa’s competence and a coal fired power station to cheat our way into cheap electricity.
Which brings to mind another dilemma, he says he wants to reduce unit cost of electricity, ignoring the EU’s strict guideline that companies competing in the EU, cannot recieve artificial subsidies. The question here isn’t whether it isn’t done, it is elsewhere, my problem is if he’s going to admit this should be preempted in Brussels before the election, if his latest billboard is to be believed.
Anything else is empty talk.
Dawn in-nies m’ghandhomx x’jaghmlu bil-hin taghhom. Botox business must have hit a slump.
Vera miskin when he talks in the name of his constituents.
The petition was done by the Labour council where they placed lots of small placards in shops saying ‘no for paid parking’.
Yesterday one of the councillors went round the bars where lots of men hang out after the mass, asking them “do you want free parking?” Obviously, they said Yes.
What she should have asked them is whether they think car park attendants should pay income tax like everyone else, and whether they should be allowed to rip tourists off.
Il-vera miskin.
Doesn’t he realise that his so-called friends, you know, the ones with whom he spent his honeymoon cruising on Jose Herrera’s speedboat in Gozo, and probably even his wife, must be laughing at him behind his back for making such a fool of himself.
They are using him, injecting him with poison, and giving him ideas over the weekend, and on Mondays, the pompous little windbag either presents a petition or private members’ bill.
L-aqwa li jwaqqa il-gvern forsi jiehu l-permess tal-Mistra.
Pathetic. Political pygmiies in full masquerade.
L-akbar ghali li ghandi hu li afdajtlek bicca mill- vot minkejja l-iskandlu tal-Mistra. PULCINELL qed tiprova tkisser partit li ghamlek nies. Jien la vvutajtlek biex iddahhal id-divorzju u l-anqas biex taghmel il-bsaten fir-roti lill-partit Nazjonalista. Int TRADITUR
Has anyone ever asked this man whether he pays all the taxes due on his actual income? I understand he does quite well out of giving blank looks to those of blank minds and sorting out other people’s mouths, when he should really wash out his own.
Before the government starts to emulate foreign European countries it should first get our wages and salaries like theirs. What next – tax on sex?
I think that the PN should once and for all learn. I am sure that now, they will choose their candidates carefully.But I feel – tragically – that they are still of the “know it all” brigade.
