Because of her Gnejna incident, nudist group Malta Nudist asks Marlene Farrugia to lobby for them in parliament
Malta’s nudist lobby has written to Labour MP Marlene Farrugia, seeking to bring her on board for their cause because “naturists in Malta are forced to use spots in which one you have experienced yourself in a different situation”.
The email was copied to other MPs. See below.
Oh, incidentally – MPs’ email addresses are not covered by data protection. The whole point of members of parliament is that their constituents, who they represent in that legislative forum, are able to contact them freely and directly.

Subject: Access to unofficial naturist spots in Malta
Dear Hon. Farrugia,
Due to a lack of personal freedom, naturists in Malta are forced to use spots in which one you have experienced yourself in a different situation. Many people have hurt themselves accessing these places including some serious incidents such as
Non sexual naturism is perfectly fine in all of Europe and most of the world! We should not remain a backward thinking country and we urge the government to be truly liberal and not partial. Giving rights to some groups while ignoring the freedom of choice of others is not the way to engage in full civil liberties.

If you want to swim naked, put a pool in your home.
Yes of course. Why didn’t the people who might not have space for a pool at home think about that ? Brilliant idea.

What do you make of this Daphne?
Ma naghmlux mod li din l-istorja ta’ Marlene Farrugia kienet biss “stunt” hux, biex tinbeda din il-kampanja ohra fuq issue “liberali” halli forsi nergghu nikkargaw ftit kontra l-Knisja u dawk il-konservativi “nekitif” tal-PN issa li gejja l-elezzjoni tal-MEPs?
It appears that Marlene has the problem laid bare.
Gvern li se jhallina nahdmu bil-patata barra.
Poor Varist. I wonder if he fainted when he read his copy of this email. The writing skills of our nudist friend are appalling.
I’m seriously starting to think that Marlene Pullicino is a nudist. Why, otherwise, would she be there at that time?

In the letter given the nudists did not ask Marlene to lobby for them
Daphne, you remind me of your article on skinny dipping : http://www.independent.com.mt/articles/2010-08-12/opinions/malta-in-2010-where-skinny-dipping-gets-you-a-prison-sentence-278678/
And Marlene Farrugia thought that the worst that could happen to her was to be surrounded by jellyfish.
She should consider herself fortunate that at least some body was interested.
Completely unrelated but somewhat baffling; the newspapers are aghast with this whole “revenge porn” business. None of them thought it relevant to point out that a Labour MEP candidate has been charged with disseminating “revenge porn”
And to top it all there are those pesky jellyfish.
Well, let’s all get on board – hunters, gay rights for everything, and now nudists.
Aren’t we a minority group and therefore have to have our way?
Anything goes with Labour on our side and to hell with ethics, morals and decent human behaviour.
Malta slides slowly but surely to the standard of the gutter.
So, this group is assuming that Marlene is a nudist and can support their cause.
Never a dull moment.

Thanks to you, finally I have managed to get Simon Busuttil’s e-mail address. If you only knew how long I have been trying to get this after I used to contact him through his EU one. Thanks, Daphne! I wish all politicians would just inform everyone about their e-mail addresses in the first place.
Ha! I tried his EU address and when no reply was forthcoming, I checked with the Nationalist Party. Would you believe that they referred me to the parliament website where I could find his official e-mail?
Like anyone in his right mind is going to communicate with the leader of the Opposition, or any Opposition MP, via an e-mail address that is controlled by the Labour government.
I take it that the Opposition is not really interested in what us commoners have to say, and in many ways has become more conceited than ever before. Which is all the more of a pity when someone with relevant information on ongoing issues needs to get in touch with the Opposition.
Then again, this is the same party that placed part of the blame of its defeat on certain bloggers, who never purported to represent the party, when it had been practically ground down into bankruptcy by its very own.

Do these people expect to swim in the nude in one of our popular bays?
Aren’t these naturists implying that Marlene was skinny dipping?
Hell yeah Marlene, tits oot fer the laads.
People look better with their clothes on.
I am sure Marlene Farrugia does.
Michael Parnis appointed HR Manager at the Water Services Corporation. This is an insult to the HR profession. Parnis has no clue of what it entails to develop and implement HR strategies.
Godfrey Farrugia’s call for foreign management of Mater Dei Hospital: seems like his consultant John Dalli has contacts with hospital management companies too who would be keen to run Mater Dei, for a commission no doubt.
Meantime, the minister comes up with a cunning plan.

From the grotesque to the downright health hazard. Don’t forget the thermos flask, a folding stool and thermal blankets.
Ghax taht dal-gvern it’s paradise.

Being proactive he said. Isn’t forcing people under a tent in January going to create a flu pandemic?
And behold the Skunkworks of it all, no photos please, it’s tent 51.
‘..However, Mr Dalli is also insisting that Malta lacks the necessary expertise in hospital management, and that “foreign expertise” should run the hospital until local candidates gain the necessary knowhow and experience.’
And out of the blue, it’s ministerial policy. Need we say who gets to determine the foreign expertise?

Precisely what you had said last week. (from DOI PR today)
Dr Muscat spjega kif (…) dan il-programm waħdu se jħalli f’Malta aktar mill-fondi kollha li pajjiżna jieħu mill-Unjoni Ewropea fuq medda ta’ 7 snin mingħajr ma jagħti xejn lura”, qal il-Prim Ministru.
Yes, because it feels good not to be giving anything in return.
Issa sew.
In the video clip here, Joseph Muscat is putting the responsibility for the design proposal (a compromise proposal) of the Sale of Citizenship Mark II on Joe Bannister and David Curmi – see 0.38 onwards.

I must say, the furrow on his forehead remains deep throughout the whole interview, even if its relativity to the head has decreased as the latter has continued to grow rounder and fatter.
Truly a circus.

Loved this bit of reporting in the Malta Independent. It must be an explanation from the Ministry of Propaganda and National Enlightenment:
“A ministry official told The Malta Independent online that this measure is a positive one since the ministry was being proactive, especially at a time of the year when many patients are admitted to hospital due to the flu.
“We are acting proactively to deal with the influx of patients,” a ministry spokesman said.”
http://www.independent.com.mt/articles/2014-01-10/news/mater-dei-day-care-reception-moving-outdoors-we-are-being-proactive-ministry-3649077248/
The positive government.
So now it’s not only patients in the corridors, but also in the reception.
Where next for the patients – the Minister’s office? Has that been vacated and moved to a tent outside the hospital as yet? If I’m not mistaken, John Dalli had told the Minister to vacate his office before.
My two greatest achievements in life have been to strip Gaddafi of his Maltese decorations and to turn Marlene into the icon of the nudist community.
I salute you, my friend.
Kemm nistaqsi. It tinda li twahhlet Mater Dei, ma kienitx intiza ghal Gnejna u l-inhawi biex in-nudisti ikollhom fejn idendlu l-hwejjeg ?
