@ Hitchcock: actually I resigned from the company which I disagreed with re their way of doing business, at a huge personal loss. Read open letter to the press at the time. as for being fashionable in canada, well, my present work load doesn’t seem to verify your claim. Attached to two feature films and a new TV series in Bulgaria as a co pro with canada. Re development, yes, I am still committed to creating productions I can bring to Malta. More of this very, VERY, soon.

Since he is no longer fashionable in Canada I bet he is now desperate to see Muscat become Prime Minister and have his government as his next (and only) financier and job provider. Obviously he is obliging his help by voluntarily shooting Labour’s rubbish propagandistic clips.

Apparently he is already developing projects with Muscat’s core advisers Phyllis Muscat and Keith Schembri acting as producers.

Well, that’s tomorrow’s klikka today.

Happy sharing, Mario.

Agreed. And the first thing to go is the reduced tax bands. Undecided voters, take note.

That budget was based on figures that were valid back last October. By next April the numbers will all have drastically changed, and the government will have lost four months of projected revenue.

It will need to make up for the resultant deficit – all in a climate that, by virtue of MLP being back in government, will undermine investment.

As was the case with Alfred Sant’s government in the mid-90s, Malta will be set for economic collapse even before this year is out.

a) copying other people’s ideas and presenting them as its own;

b) telling half-truths (and outright lies!) in the knowledge that, if you throw enough mud, some of it will stick.

This is a clear case of (a) above. It is probably also in breach of copyright law – but since when did the Labour Party care about the law?

But what can you expect when you see the people in the PL’s lineup? It’s just another instance which shows how totally devoid of ideas they are, and how incapable of doing anything without having someone else to copy.

It is positively frightening to think of them in government. What will they do without Nationalist ideas – ring Tonio Fenech for advice every Monday morning? So they have one budget in the bag – but how will they come up with the next one? And the one after that?

And what’s worse, think of their *execution*. We have seen, through the water and electricity debate, just how incapable they are – since every aspect of their flagship project is full of holes.

God help us if the majority of the population cannot see through them.

“Yes, Mr Azzopardi is back, and he plans to spend a few months a year in his native Malta, having packed his bags and left for Canada as a consequence of the dispute and controversy that unfolded around the censorship of his play in 1977.

The gist of Ix-Xitan Kunjomu Malti: A girl in Scotland is possessed by the devil and starts talking in Maltese, so she is brought over to Malta. It transpires that the devil is terribly upset because the hatred between the Labour and Nationalist supporters is waning…

“I am at the last stage; the last act,” he says, claiming he is stuck. “I want to end it by vanquishing the devil but I am liking his character so much that I don’t want him to die. I may actually end up having him get the better of us all. He’ll get sent back but we’ll all end up pining for him,” he concludes, with a deep and diabolical chuckle, seemingly totally immersed in the role.

When he has finished with Beelzebub, next in line is an even “naughtier” play: A satire on sexual mores, or wife swapping, to be more precise. Marti Martek, Martek Marti, the title, says it all! In a nutshell, it is about the search for absolute personal sexual freedom, which is never really attainable.

“It is not a moral play! I don’t deal in morality!”

“I’m a storyteller at heart… and I like to light up fires under people’s bottoms and see them squirm a little,” he laughs.”
