Child patients put in the same wards as drug addicts and mentally ill adults at Mount Carmel Hospital

Paul Pace of the nurses’ union is making a justified fuss about it. Mrs Muscat has sought and obtained publicity for her work through the Marigold Foundation on redecorating a recreation room at the psychiatric hospital.
But these are the real issues she should be campaigning about. Children on wards with junkies and mentally ill adults? Though I hesitate to use the word in this particular context, that’s crazy.

You have to be careful what you write today since it is the day of reflection and the police will have an excuse to pay you a tonight, like they did in the last election. But then I am certain that Lou Bondi will be right there with his cameras in support.
Don’t hold your breath.
Just went to YouTube and the first videos in the list marked as “what to watch” are all by PL … on reflection day.
This is ridiculous. The day of silence is imposed on the political parties, not on individual citizens.
Life in Malta (and elsewhere) didn’t stop yesterday at midnight; on the contrary I’m sure there’s a lot of activity going on by the individual candidates.
I’ve seen a couple of them (with their ‘helpers’) this morning talking to citizens, even if just to say “Hello, how are you? Everything OK?”
I hope people will stop repeating this politically (in)correct nonsense about an absolute ban on political discussion on the eve of polling day.
Din mhux politika imma, jekk hija vera, hija xi haga serja hafna li kull sekonda tghodd.

Michelle Muscat is so tortured by her experience of visiting Mount Camel hospital that she instructs ‘l-assistenta tieghi’ to meet up at a Valletta cafe’ ha tiehu r-ruh.
The sooner that silly woman wakes up and smells her husband’s coffee, the better.

GWU wheeling and dealing in property big-time.
Can you bloody believe this?

What office space layout? Those things were, ARE, apartments. I bet TM gets to splash out all the wiring to turn that thing into an operational ‘office’ building.
So the whole project is sold to an ‘enthusiastic buyer’ last week, after it has sat there, empty, and now we know the workers’ aristocracy will do real estate.
And how many times does TM have to relocate until everyone’s satisfied?
And all those who invested their money to come up with state of the art facilities left looking at how it’s really done. I mean imagine trying to manage a head office having to pop down and up from one tower to another. Oops sorry, wrong tower…..
Perhaps Anglu was wrong, there isn’t even a developers’ lobby behind Muscat. Or maybe so what, up theirs as well.
Which coincides with the major traffic rerouting project right in front of that building.
They intend to make that junction a hub, demolishing two operating manufacturing plants to get them out of the way and introduce a vast parking space.
The fact Labour has their own ONE property across the same ‘regenerated’ space is, of course, just a coincidence.
Conflict of interest, property speculation, distortion, indeed contamination of a regulated market, planning reduced to accommodate a political party and its union facade, taxpayers’ money embezzled for private interests, the list is endless.
Then there’s Malta Shipbuilding across both.
Thank goodness for The Malta Independent.

A look should also be given to the children kept in the “half-way houses” on the same premises.
There should be a separate and less instigating environment that they are able to be brought up in.
The culture of foster homes in Malta could be developed. This would be a more fitting environment.
