One granite block from the old power station or dock number one, sliced professionally by the expensive exotic rock kitchen counter-top store was all that needed to be done to obtain the paving slabs.

Or use compacted cannabis resin. It’s got the right colour and texture if mixed with some cocaine powder. It is liberal and progressive, and both are in plentiful supply just down the street at the law courts.

Would any switcher accept such incompetence in his home?

If they do not, then they should not lump us with such shoddiness as Malta is really taghna lkoll, not just an abused and twisted slogan.

If on the other hand they accept such incompetence in their homes then we are really done for.

Any comments from some aesthetic gurus who switched around last election? Anyone?

Their excuse is that they are waiting for the slabs to arrive from India and so to avoid people having accidents, they patched the broken paving stones with tarmac.

Could they not get the slabs from somewhere closer to Malta like say, Sicily?

The exact Maltese saying for this idiocy is “traqqa’ l-pannu bil-qara’ aħmar”
