Michela Spiteri is used to a complete and utter mess same as Joseph Muscat’s aesthetics.

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?

I have been told there’s more of her lately.

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…

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.

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.

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?

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?
