But is it responsible and liable – for all actions? or just responsible and/or irresponsible (full stop).

Well, when you consider interior decor tastes, perhaps they got lost in comparisons.

With the rest of the world switching to LEDs and LED panels on sell-backs for road lighting, do we know whether the road lighting in Malta is metered at the moment, and what the plans are?

I am baffled by your amazement at this shocking news item.

How can you expect people who sing “mitna ghalxejn mitna ghall-barrani” in that hideous ‘rokopra’ to really perceive the importance and the meaning of the eternal flame? They have no idea at all what the world wars were all about.

Just put the flame out mill-ewwel, guys. And spare us these idiotic decisions of lighting the flame at night and putting it off at dawn.

Bottom line, what we have here is a a sovereign state that also happens to be the most bombed country per square km in 1942, saving EUR 10k per annum on the eternal flame. Beyond words.

That such an action should have been considered urgent to merit such priority reflects very badly on the new prime minister’s values.

I do not think that Dom Mintoff himself would have taken such a step.

How about Muscat and his merry men and women doing away with their cars and riding bikes. That would certainly save money and seem very progressive and liberal.

The decision disappoints many, but it shames us all, more so those who took it, those supported it, and those who now do nothing to put it right.
