    I’m sorry, but there are no other words: what a c**t.

    “halli jigu offruti…bla hlas….kuncerti”.

    Again, I have to say it: what a c**t.

    He’s claiming this is his own idea, when it’s been going on for several years already, including all those years when he was nobody except Joseph Muscat’s buddy, litigating in the law courts.

    Seriously, whoever votes for these idiots is truly mentally challenged.

    Does this dumb “minister” know this has been held since 1999?

    As if he has a say in who will be coming over for the MTV concerts – these concerts were confirmed by the last administration – all we ask is for this government not to f*ck them up as well.

    Hasn’t this concert been taking place for a few years now? And wasn’t it always for free? So what’s he on about?

    So, just to follow the footsteps of PN government our minister is giving all it takes. Pity our Prime Minister never said this but always bragged that successes back then were results IN SPITE of the government not BECAUSE of the government.

    That’s “ta’ l-ghola” – of the highest.

      “ta’ l-ogħla” is spelt correctly. It’s the sentence structure that sucks…just like the man who wrote it.

        Tal-oghla. No apostrophe any more. Oh and yes, Edward Zammit Lewis is such a cucking funt.

    Aghmlu tieghu l-kuncert, hej. Way to go Minister. No decency whatsoever in acknowledging the work done in this field by the previous Government. Same with Cospicua waterfront, with MCAST newest building, with Smartcity, with Triq Dicembru 13 and another handful of national projects…

    Min imaqdar, irid jixtri, jghid il-Malti. How true. They criticised all these projects when in opposition and all of a sudden they owned them.

    I think he’d better learn how to write a proper structured sentence in Maltese.

    Il-“pubbliku bla hlas” jew il-kuncert?

    Onorevoli Mnistru, grazzi.

    Kemm ahna obbligati lejk. Grazzi tas-sighat twal li qed tahdem minghajr ma tithallas sabiex ikollna l-Isle of MTV b’xejn.

    Grazzi ghax bis-sahha tieghek, minn din is-sena mhux ser inhallsu biex naraw dan is-show kif kien ikollna nhallsu fi zmien in-Nazzjonalisti.

    Grazzi ghax issa mhux ser inhallsu sew jekk narawh fuq il-Fosos kif ukoll jekk naraw fuq it-television.

    Nizgurak li nghidlek grazzi akbar jekk ma tistmaniex ta’ injoranti.

    I thought that last week’s news was a statement by the Malta Tourism Authority that the government hasn’t yet paid it for Joseph Calleja’s concert which was partially ‘bla hlas’ too.

      The ‘bla hlas’ audience will probably be sited underneath Joe Mizzi’s offices, while the main stage will be set next to the Catholic Institute.

      The seated audience will be somewhat closer to the action – but remember that the prices of seats are being advertised as starting from 80 Euros.

    Will somebody please remind Edward Zammit Lewis to give a VIP pass to Manuel Mallia’s chief of staff, to avoid another scene this year. Oh, and perhaps one for Franco Debono, too – and also a little reminder not to allow Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando anywhere near the open bar or security guards might have to get involved again when his drink is spiked.

    Franco Debono wants free VIP tickets.

    What does he mean , ”bla hlas”? The tax payer is paying, right?

      Then again perhaps he has figured out that most of his target audience do not pay taxes and therefore, for them, this concert would really be free and the rest of his audience are too stupid to realize that this is how their taxes are being wasted.

      Something for free is a fallacy – anyone in his right mind would know that.

    Truly a shining example of what has been referred to as a FW.

    If Joseph Muscat created the universe and everything in it, why all this fuss about this minister claiming ownership of the Isle of MTV?.
