So much for ‘national celebration’
Will somebody be so kind as to explain to me how the Brian May/Kerry Ellis performance is in any way different to yet another Nng Promotions concert?
In fact, it appears to be just that: yet another Nng Promotions event, and it is actually being touted as such.
So exactly who is organising it, and who is making money off it – the National Festivities Committee? Nng Promotions on behalf of the National Festivities Committee? The National Festivities Committee on behalf of Nng Promotions?
What is the separation of responsibilities here? The profit-sharing agreement? Who is taking the financial risk – the government through the National Festivities Committee, or Nng Promotions?
This is turning into an offensive farce.

Maybe we’ll see Brian May playing on the roof of the Presidential Palace.
Playing what – ‘Ma taghmlu xejn ma’ Joseph’?
This event had NnG Promotions written all over it from the moment it was announced.
Maybe the concert was planned beforehand (after all, the date doesn’t coincide with any of the anniversaries it is supposed to celebrate) and then NnG and the National Festivities Committee decided to piggyback on each other, one to sell more tickets and get free promotion and the other to have a really special guest for the festivities.
It is all very inappropriate. I certainly won’t be buying a ticket.
It’s a cuNng government.
Cui bono? Who stands to benefit?
They expect us poor citizens to pay good money for the concert, and the privileged clique of Malta Taghna Ikoll will get the best places for free. Over my dead body.
If it were really a national celebration it should have been free for all to enjoy.
Look, Frogs, I paid €25 to watch Brian May strumming his guitar, seated.
Now there’s Joseph Muscat at the helm, he announces that May is coming to Malta. You get excited and then realise that you have to fork out real money to go there and be allowed in.
Everything and everyone has a price-tag, nowadays.
The only promotions I am seeing now are not NNG but LNG.
Come to think of it, why not hire NNG promotions to put up a laser show on the Delimara cliffs, projecting a nice LNG supply carrier entering the Marsaxlokk harbour huddled between two ships like the Santa Maria Convoy (Operation Pedestal) tanker “Ohio” to save Malta.
At the end of the show, a fireworks display with synchronised music: Karl Orf’s “Oh Fortuna” or John Bundy’s “Pajjiz tal-Mickey Mouse” fit perfectly, ending with a big loud explosion with a mushroom cloud.
You are right. Putting that explosive material in the middle of a bay so close to residences, Malta’s only power station, and the Freeport, is crazy.
There is a need for more public awareness about this huge danger not only in the Marsaxlokk/Birzebbugia area, but around the country.
This is definitely worth another one of those media events by the Zaghzagh Nazzjonalisti, similar to the protest against the sale of citizenship, pictures of which ended up on the international newspapers, and that red ribbon wrapped around the Australia Hall.
Baxxter, any ideas?

And after the Sale of Citizenship, now we can truly say that Muscat has fulfilled his dream of making us like Cyprus.

Ok, it’s an LNG liquefaction plant, not a FSU, but it’s LNG anyways.
I’m hardly the Nationalist Party’s consultant on media stunts, am I? I’m not exactly anyone’s favourite down at the “Stamperija”.
But the fifty atomic bombs claim is complete rubbish. What bombs? The piddly Little Boy and Fat Man (no, not Joseph Muscat and Manuel Mallia), or the Tsar Bomba?
Well if it’s not free, the only way to get people to go (and pay for the tickets) is to hide the fact that it’s a Jum il-Helsien celebration until you turn up for a sea of red flags (the old Labour emblem, the white one isn’t needed any more).
Much as I like Queen, I’m certainly not going, free or otherwise.
There will be a free concert featuring Joseph Calleja and Ira Losco.
No one is mentioning the Fact that Gianni Zammit is an NNG Director and a member on the committee of the festivities
