No one is mentioning the Fact that Gianni Zammit is an NNG Director and a member on the committee of the festivities

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?

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.

There will be a free concert featuring Joseph Calleja and Ira Losco.

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.

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.

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?

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.

If it were really a national celebration it should have been free for all to enjoy.

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.
