If some wiseacre thought out this idea 40 years ago then all that illegally dumped rubble and broken tiles on the Xghajra coast from a zillion bathroom renovations could been put to good use as fill.

If Gibraltar could reclaim land for an airport runway, I am sure Emperor Joseph can do much better.

@ “issa jkun hemm xi hadd jipprotesta ghax ha noqtlu xi gremxula”.

Arroganti, insensittiv u fuq kollox INJORANT (fit-tmexxija ta’ pajjiz).

L-aqwa li ghandek Gvern li Jisimghek!

Huwa immaginabbli li wiehed jahseb biex jibni fuq il-bahar, bil-konsegwenzi disatruzi kollha li dan jista’ jgib ghall-flora u fauna. Wiehed ma jridx jinsa li ghandna hafna proprjeta’ li ma tintuzax, madwar 77,000 post skond l-ahhar stharrig.

In this case, land reclamation will be the result of more and more apartments. Excavated material, as he’s been led to believe and so convenient when electoral promises are made, will be the prime source.

A fallacy when more efficient, indeed faster and cleaner methods can be employed. Given that he’s made his promises, the criteria are the wrong way round. What he’ll do is to subsidise ‘developers’.

Now, if instead of coming up with a bridge spanning over two kilometers, (the brief, it seems, is to avoid Comino), why didn’t he commission a simple calculation what volumes a tunnel can provide?

As for the bridge, one major span can never be more economically feasible than two smaller ones, separated by Comino itself.

It’s why the bridge was shelved. It’s also interesting to note that nowehere does Labour mention the tunnels planned for water catchment.

This one, open public space, was the result of the metro.

Trust Muscat to get it wrong.

Either way, quite a cheek on this one.

It’s why Leo’s not keen on reducing waste generation. As for contamination, we’re the gremxul.

The problem Muscat has with MEPA is the problem he has with autonomous authority which will check his excess.

What we have is an individual who cannot design around constraints. The sign of an impoverished spirit. Muscat’s the quintessential 90’s product, stuck in material expression, rational function reduced to nostalgic form.

He can’t see beyond that which exists, let alone manage abstraction independently of his personal experience.

Efficiency means nothing unless it carries manifest images hinting at its opposite, waste.

The replica banker’s lamp said it all, his change means more of the older same. Expect taxes to be delegitimised next.

So instead of dumping debris in Maghtab or in some disused quarry, trucks will dump their goods at Qalet Marku or right in front of Xaghjra.

The sea is in MEPA’s remit and if it’s not who’s in charge?

In the past who gave permits to dump debris at sea?
