Does he get a commission for this? It is ridiculous. It’s OK seen through Maltese eyes, but unbelievable if you transpose this to a world level.

Imagine Merkel tweeting about her attending the Bayreuth Festival (which is not a lousy populist concert like Calleja’s).

In reply to Roderick.

It’s the new definition of being “close to the people” I guess.

Seeing what the rest of the cabinet is doing, we can all guess why he’s tweeting so much.

Il Prim Ministru missu haseb fil penzjonanti li ma jistawx ihallsu dawk il-flus ghall-biljett tal-kuncert. Il-Prim Ministru jaf li l-penzjonanti ma jistawx jaghmlu hin twil bil-wiefqa.

Mela ghaliex hasibx fijna ukoll?

Lill Joseph Calleja illi sentejn nitolbu biex ikun hemm biljetti discounted ghall-penzjonanti.

Iva BOV shareholder, anki jien ma tantx qed nara lill Joseph Calleja f’dawl sabih, ghax malajr tinduna li wara kollox hemm “business”.

As a shareholder I would like to know how much those Choir Tee-Shirts cost me, and what is the bank getting in return from Joseph Calleja.

As a taxpayer I would like to know how much the orchestra and the “free entry” for the standing audience cost us.

All these free rides are putting Calleja in a bad light.

For heaven’s sake, those kids should have been in bed by 8.30 pm, not frolicking with daddy till well after midnight.

Joseph Muscat’s Twitter feed is alarmingly active: https://twitter.com/JosephMuscat_JM. Too active, particularly when sending out greetings to the Royal Family for the birth of Prince George. When exactly did Twitter overtake protocol?

The concert was enjoyable. It would be good to know, however, how much of taxpayers’ money went towards funding what is essentially a private enterprise, particularly when you consider that the standing area was very poorly attended in past years.

Meanwhile, Kate and William are striking a deal with the press to ensure the privacy of their son.

Breeding always tells.
