Taghna Lkoll cronyism update: William Lewis
William Lewis is the Labour Party’s segretarju organizzativ. He is also an architect. Perhaps it’s time a member of the Opposition put a question to the government about him, in parliament.
A recent news story on TVM’s website reveals (inadvertently) that the Labour Party’s segretarju organizzativ has been commissioned to “improve the Valletta market”. His achievement so far: designing the new, standard market stalls that all traders will have to use, in marine ply with a super-tacky cut-out of the eight-pointed cross applied to the front.
So now pirated DVDS, red polyester G-strings, leggings in dayglo pink man-made fibre, cheap jewellery and plastic bags of goldfish will be sold off stalls branded with the so-called Maltese cross. That should improve things no end.
Another news story on the same website reveals that the very same William Lewis has been commissioned to undertake a survey of the structural failings at the National Pool.
These are the two that are in the news. But what else has this party apparatchik been given that isn’t in the news? I think parliament should be told.
Taghna Lkoll.

Maybe he can design a G-string with Muscat’s face on the crotch to be sold off the market stalls he’s created.
No, I wouldn’t touch those. I’d go for panties with Muscat’s face at the back though.
I’m getting really tired of the bloody Maltese cross. There’s nothing particularly wrong with it, of course, even if it’s not really Maltese, but do we really have to have it absolutely everywhere from the Air Malta livery to the gift given to the Duchess of Cambridge to market stalls?
Can someone please come up with some new ideas?
Where do all the design and art students go after they graduate from MCAST and University?
Why are Malta’s aesthetics so stale?
Simplicity can be so effective, and remunerative.
There are little islands that have come up with a brand based design with an annual modification so that the change itself has become a collectors item. Still kept relatively exclusive, not cheapened or tacky as happens with everything in Malta.
The dork couldn’t even get the cross right, let alone the stalls which will be left without the plywood anyway.
Decorating a stall is literally a contradiction in terms.
And as if vendors will accept to have the lower part of the stall blocked off. Not to mention the most basic construction.
There’s no design in that thing.
Semmai, naqa’ ‘design’ kif qallu Kenneth. Gawdi Astrid, ara xi pjacir, qisna’ Ta’ Qali fiz-zmien.

According to the tvm video, they intend to place half the market stalls between the house and the theatre. Imagine the onslaught of vans late afternoon, empty boxes and other rubbish.
Bastards.
‘Why are Malta’s aesthetics so stale?’
Because Labour deems aesthetics superficial and superficial not of Malta.
And that’s your utilitarian glorification of everything peasant, primarily the mental constraints stifling spirit.
The PN instead, remains lost between nostalgia and guilt; It wasn’t their reconstruction after the war ergo no conviction in having overcome the darkest chapter.
Thus one forum for ‘ambjent strutturali’ and one for ‘kultura u edukazzjoni’, whatever those mean. As if splitting these keeps them safe from each other and the common motive, a future.
But that’s too close to futurismo for comfort.
Both parties discard the disciplined approach, every ‘fertile’ looking piece of pottery splattered in goo an eternal must have.
The Greens on the other hand, choose to be pathetic. They ooze glum.
Don’t get me started.
Please do get started. Please occupy the vacuum and save us from the swivel-eyed loons because I can take it no longer.
The sad thing about those stall, apart from being ghastly with no redeeming design element, is that they are going to stay in place the whole year round. Really gone to the dogs.
This is bird droppings compared to Joe Mizzi flying over to Spain before adjudications (McGills failed to do understand Labour ways) and the other Mizzi flying over to China for herbal infertility medicines and some TLC from our ambassador Sai Mizzi under public arrangement and at public cost.
They are so pure.

What does that have to do with the improvement of the market, designing market stalls, or a structural engineering survey of the national pool. Yes indeed, Taghna Lkoll.
How about giving us the full detailed list of consultancies this William Lewis and his other colleague Daniel Micallef, both suddenly considered to be phenomenal professionals, have been given since Labour got into government.
Many local councils and ministries appear to have been engaging those two specifically.

When I saw that news report I had to rewind backwards as I couldn’t believe what I heard – Kumitat ghat-titjib tal-monti?
This government has been really creative in inventing all sorts of titles and committees to employ as many taghna lkollers as possible.
I like the sale of pirated DVDs, not that I buy them anymore as it’s much easier to download torrents though I don’t think Grace Borg is a big fan of them.
