And his chief of staff might have some interesting ideas for shops and cafes along the water’s edge. Tony Zahra could turn it into a great hotel. Some water-skiing and boat hiring facilities, perhaps?
I mean, a building like that – hasra hux, x’hala ta’ flus. Ara what nice feshion shows The High Society could have under the patronage of Mrs Samantha Cameron.

Knock it down, I say. What we need is another LIDL.
There are two Houses of Commons there. What utter waste.
Let’s keep the one in the water reflection and the pull the other one down.
What a waste of money to build such a place just to house a clock.
I mean, come on.
Clocks? Arrest him!
You kill me!
The batteries must be ginormous.

X’hela, anke supermarket tohrog minnu.
Maybe a floating market like in Bangkok.
I’ll get Mr Speaker and Lolita Pusang onto it straight away.
Now we know what Joseph Muscat meant when he said that the time of political parties are over. There is no need for a House of Parliament in Malta. The Maltese parliamentarians can meet at Cafe Cordina or at Eddies. And why not at Mcdonalds. Joe Grima loves it.
Hang out where Franco Debono hangs out.
He could treat them all to tuna on toast and a warm bottle of Kinnie.
Biex ma jihux xi rih, I would presume.
Thinking about it, it seems that what we have here is a Prime Minister who despises the institution of Parliament despite the fact that to date he has been a Member of two Parliaments – the European one, and the Maltese one.
However, his membership in the first one – the one in Brussels/Strasbourg – must have been a nightmare, considering that it is the parliament of the EU, an entity which he despised so much and campaigned so much against when he was a Super One reporter. Everyone remembers his Made in Brussels mockery of the EU. And his “What the Heck” moment.
Then, his experience in the Maltese parliament must have been another trauma. When he was compelled to join the House, he was not an elected Member. To become a Member, he had to unseat one of his party’s Vegetables and God only knows what obligations he got himself into with for that seat.
The question we should be asking is: why exactly did he become a Parliamentarian? Does he regard it only as a stepping stone to the High Society and absolute power?
I suggest land reclamation on the river Thames right in front of parliament and Big Ben. Then a monti on this land so that the monti hawkers can earn their living.
Wouldn’t that be really nice?
Dear Daphne, can anyone from your international network of spies tell us what was the ministerial occasion at the Barrakka Gardens last Friday night?
I’m curious.
Where is the FAA protest-only-when-PN-in-government Lady?
She’s busy looking for a palazzo in Valletta to hang the St John’s Cathedral tapestries.
Yes indeed. And where’s the megaphone? And where are her toy soldiers?
One of them wrote a letter to The Times against the mostropolis in Gzira – fishing for a donation for her favourite NGO to buy its silence, maybe.
Mareen Dowd wrote an excellent pirce, today, in the New York Times, entitled, ‘Of Rats and Hitmen’. Worth a read.
However, one commentor on this piece, from Cleveland, fingered what I feel, is our present problem on the Rock. Here is what he wrote:
‘Evil can be banal, it can be epic. It can be hidden, it can be brazen. It can be cautious, it can be idiotic. It can be well-dressed, it can be shabby. It can be rich, it can be poor. It can be solitary, it can be a gang. It can be for love of self, it can be for love of some other.
But it all comes down to someone or some group treating other human beings or a single other human being, as disposable tools, as mere things to manipulate and then destroy, if needed. And that is what evil is.’
Anyone come to mind?
Land reclamation or not, has no one realised what Labour are up to in Marsaxlokk?
They plan to store 180000m3 of odourless and explosive gas for the next 20 years.
To do this they have to have a 300m ship berthed for good. It’s 15 storeys high! The bay needs to be quarried because in some areas it’s just 3m deep and the re-fuelling will require a second ship and a turning circle of 600m.
Why has nobody in the media picked this up? This is madness!
What media?
We had a sort of a media with Lou Bondi who is now as neutered as my (ex) tomcat.
Madness is all over the country . The GAS thingy is just one of the syndromes.
Well , one might say that they are providing enough rope to hang themselves.PN are controlling themselves not to appear as inciters,they want things properly done within European standards.
I’m expecting our little emperor angrily stating that the EU has no right to intervene because it’s not part financing the project.
Labour’s argument is that the government has the mandate to build this power station. Well the people voted for the same party to remove VAT.
They better get that inter-connector running and stop putting spokes in EneMalta’s wheels. When Muscat pointed at the Delimara chimney as the source of Mrs Harrison’s inconvenience, he conveniently forgot about the real sufferers – the Fgura residents who with others are eagerly waiting for the Marsa Power station to be shut down once and for all.
That will be shut down when the inter-connector becomes operational, thanks to the Nationalist party.
Infurmat, I would take those statistics especially the ones involving turning circles and dredging with a good pinch of salt. I don’t know who’s giving George Pullicino his information, but s/he’s doing him a disservice.
If we manage to get our heads together we can think of so many ways we can utilize space and resources. Like let us not forget the eternal flame which is now a part time eternal flame.
In the night time do you know how many geysers or pastizzi ovens this can heat up?
Or how about all the schools which are closed at night? They would make wonderful low cost one bed room apartments.
There must also be a way to introduce a law where shops selling clothes during the day for example can turn into pole dancing or other entertainment outlets on weekends or at night.
How about empty hotel rooms in the winter? They would make great offices for all the ministries and parliamentary secretaries during the low season.
The list can go on and on and on. We are a really smart and thrifty nation.
