Not only that, but he doesn’t know the difference between an artist and an artisan. Artists, he says, will be given the opportunity to display and sell their wares at an artisan market, using the hawkers’ stalls.
Yes, and that’s our Minister of Culture (and Justice) for you. I think he should stick to specialising in Janice Bartolo.

Janice Bartolo’s boyfriend has to toe Joseph Muscat’s line otherwise his head will start rolling and he will lose everything, even his girlfriend.
Soul sold.

Ghax taf int, Piano’s brief was restricted to the bini tal-parlament.
Enough said.
Oh, so Kenneth Zammit Tabona will be taking a stall to sell his paintings then.
Ma tarax.
Won’t there be an installation/ space allocated on the inside?
Lovely – Kenneth Zammit Tabona rubbing shoulders with the hawkers. Just what he always wanted.
King Joseph’s puppet. How pathetic.
Just put the stalls inside the new parliament building and get it over with.
Such potential – but he is not his own man or he’s friggin’ ignorant.
Peress li l-bejgħ ta’ dak li hu Malti, bħaċ-ċittadinanza, l-EneMalta, etċ qed isir minn Kastilja, jikkonsidrax il-Prim Ministru li l-Monti jiġi trasferit għall-bitħa tal-Berga ta’ Kastilja?
Le Frans, ahjar kieku jarma stand il-Prim u jibda ibiegh il-passaporti minn hemm. Jista jitfa lil Michelle bhala salesgirl.
Michelle se jkollha stand taghha tbiegh il-gingerbread men.
He says that Malta’s new Sambadromo knock off will be a place where artists can cross-pollinate.
I can’t wait to see that happen.
Ma jridx jiksirlu qalbu miskin lil Joseph Muscat.
Il-Monti se jiċċaqlaq għax tal-Monti jridu hekk, mhux għax in-nies tixtieq li jkun hdejn il-proġett ta’ Piano.
Ittuhx kedded ghax ma’ jiflahx ghalihom. He looks exhausted.
And this is the Minister for Culture? No wonder this place is a mess.
Can the little man make his mind up?
Yesterday Owen Bonnici said that he agreed with Muscat in filling up the space in the upper part of Ordnance Street.
Earlier today it was reported that he said that he agrees that the commercial market does not spill over onto the other side of Republic Street by the new Parliament building.
Now he is saying that the market should be between Parliament House and the theatre.
Understandably he can’t really be seen to contradict his principal for his principles if he wants to retain his chances of supplanting him at the earliest opportune moment.
Imagine that, Janice First Lady in lieu of Michelle.
What is it with people’s pronunciation of the word ‘artisan’?
All together now: ˈɑːtɪˌzæn
Those who can’t read the phonemic alphabet can just click on the audio symbol and hear it:

Who on earth still calls them “artisans” anyway? Like “crafts” (we still have a “Crafts Village”), the word went out of circulation circa 1980. In the city centre? In the business and government district? I jolly well don’t think so.
This is where we got it all wrong. Henna and bead-sellers in front of the law courts. Karozzini next to parliament and the president’s seat. It’s the way we mix n’ match in a totally haphazard fashion, jumble-sale style. There’s no sense of each thing in its own place. Tat rubs shoulders with the Old Masters. Horse urine is six feet away from upmarket perfumeries.
Our resident artist Jozef once said something about “Ghax hekk jafu.” Exactly. Because it has been drummed into us that this is Malteseness. Therefore this is how it’s supposed to be.
It isn’t.
