Herman Grech at Times of Malta thinks it looks like a Maltese bus stop from the 1980s.

Actually, I think it is more contemporary. I think it looks like one of these, .

How very topical. Just what the hunters and trappers wanted, right within reach of Parliament, in time for the referendum campaign and the upcoming spring hunting season.

Now I think I understand why Labour wanted a roof on the Teatru Rjal. They probably had promised the hawkers to set up the monti in the theatre.

Will the Order of St. John be suing for royalties for the use of the 8-pointed cross?

Meanwhile, the PN continues to quote one website after the other about fuel prices in Europe, and how Joseph Muscat’s government is committing a robbery, without addressing the issue in the way the Maltese electorate understands best: “flus fil-but.”

If the government reduces the price of fuels by about 30%, a household which spends Eur 30 per week on fuels will have Eur 500 more in “flus fil-but” per annum.

And a family which spends Eur 50 per week on fuels would have Eur 750 more in “flus fil-but” every year.

Imagine how much more “flus fil-but” those families will have if government reduced the price of fuel by 40% or 50%.

And has anyone said anything about the government giving a weekly COLA wage increase of 58 cents, which it is now taking back in 1 litre of fuel? The situation in the price of local fuels at the pump is such that, from 1 January, rather than receiving an increase of 58 cents per week in wages, workers are paying an extra 58 cents per litre of fuel to the government.
