Lynch Piano! Think of the children! Burn the evil foreigner!
(Is this right, Sandro?)
Je suis Astrid.
Avec or sans tits?
I have been told there’s more of her lately.
Why should we all be surprised that they wholeheartedly criticize Piano’s design if they were not capable of stopping this design from being accepted, ordered, ready and bought by the monti sellers, and all ready to be installed next week?
Pic no.2.
Democracy permeates mass.
Piano on one side. Vespasian on the other side.
How much was he paid for this trash design?
Now we will be told that Joseph Muscat didn’t know anything about them and all of a sudden he will ask them to scrap them.
I hope he scraps the Minister in charge, too. Didn’t he scrap Godfrey Farrugia for setting up just one tent outside the hospital?
I can already hear the news: il-belt Valletta salvata b’intervent personali mill-Prim Ministru.
Isn’t this just how the fostering guy’s saga was spun a few days ago?
These stalls are to Piano’s architecture what a pair of Groucho Marx specs and moustache painted in the Mona Lisa would be.
Is this the way the government embellishes our capital city for all to enjoy in V18? Come on, Jason, Joseph.

While I’m not a great fan of the new parliament building, I must say I do like the feeling of ‘openness’ and space which greats you upon entering our capital city.
Market stalls – be it those horrible waif-like structures they designed or even something which is more aesthetically appealing – simply do not belong in that spot.
Will those two horrible stalls just outside City Gate be removed now?
L-atitudni kostanti ta’ Joe Muscat: dak li ma kontx kapaci naghmel jien imma issa joghgobbni, bhal l-Unjoni Ewropea, Smart City, progett ta’ Bacir Numru Wiehed ta’ Bormla, etc naghmlu tieghi u niehu l-proset ghalih.
Dak li dahal wisq f’ mohh in-nies li huwa ‘ TAN-NAZZJONALISTI’ allura nipprova nwaqqaw ghan-nejk u nibbanalizzah kemm nista, bhal progett ta’ Piano, Mater Dei, etc.
Ridtu Prim Ministru zghir, u hadtuh f’kull sens.
When Austin Gatt pushed (bulldozed his way as some might say) to get the city gate project off the ground, I was delighted.
I decided to ignore the actual design. They commissioned one of the best, so I trusted him.
As in anything design de gustibus non est disputandum. But for the record, I love it.
To me, the most important fact was that we could stop disagreeing about city gate and what should be done about it, because at last something was being done.
Austin Gatt, I thought, managed to put an end to it.
Nobody seemed to like what there was but everyone avoided touching it. Something nobody else had the balls to do it – Austin Gatt.
Love Piano or hate him, it’s done I thought – and maybe even the more critical will learn to love it, I hoped. But it’s a closed chapter – no more shabby entrance!
As usual with Labour, no matter how low your expectations are, they’ll beat them and go lower still.
In the middle of a brand new development, a masterpiece I will add, they put a shabby flea market.
Now let us say that the development was a new condominium with a open central space – would anyone allow a flea market to be set up in it everyday with the possibility of it becoming a permanent feature? No.
Surely that should be dragged the chattering class kicking and screaming into the republic?
This will be the litmus test whether their intention now will be to use Muscat’s snide take to blame everyone else.
Astrid Vella was on Facebook oohing at the earlier, sensible proposal. Still no answer from the FAA though.
I challenge Michela Spiteri and her colleagues on that board for exquisite taste to their views. They were the ones who vouched to incarnate Labour’s promise to refinement.
On second thoughts, the whole mess is that board’s responsibility, given the way fingers have been pointed. It will be such fun reading why it isn’t so.
When it won’t, why do we pay them?
Michela Spiteri is used to a complete and utter mess same as Joseph Muscat’s aesthetics.
The result of mediocre-minded voters.
I find it impossible to look at this lightheartedly. Hard as I tried.
How can anyone come up with a market to ruin this space and after so many millions were spent on beautiful design by one of the best architects in history.
Talk of small minds…
Thx for sharing my photo :-)
