You will be able to see the first two stalls from the entrance to Valletta so those are undoubtedly the ones selling PL flags, Mintoff statues and other religious(ly PL) relics.

You’re wrong I’m afraid, Mila.

It isn’t 50 extra stalls on Sundays but 125 extra stalls at least and that’s a huge number of stalls.

‘However, with more than 200 permit holders for the Sunday market’

This time it’s the market in the Piano project.

Do you not all think that we have enough ‘crosses’ in our life to add more ?

Remember these are over and above the 75 which have been given one of these ‘wonderful’ stalls.

There was an interesting new titbit in The Times today:

”It’s all fuss for nothing because the cross is optional. It’s up to us – we can choose if we want to put one cross, or two or three or none at all,” Mr Buhagiar said.”

So part of the sweetening of the deal seems to have been personalization. Isn’t that just what one expects of a serious government?

What Philistines! And GWU VIctor Carachi compared this trashy market to Annecy’s!

By the way, what are these hawkers contributing by way of taxes, VAT and rent?
