Oh for heaven’s sake: men having a cat-fight about the Eurovision Song Contest

What is it with Maltese men in public life and their fixation with Malta’s participation in the Eurovision Song Contest? This is nothing new – we have a long history of it. The only woman who ever got herself embroiled in this wholly male bitch-fest was Grace Borg.

It makes you wonder what they love about a world of glitter pant-suits, prancing musicians, camp hairstyles, truckloads of make-up and over-arching pointlessness.

It isn’t a gay thing, either. Anton Attard isn’t gay. Manuel Mallia wasn’t – sorry, isn’t – gay. Yet they all behave like the Eurovision Song Contest is the World Economic Forum.

And today we have Jason Micallef dominating the headlines because he’s drawn his claws and is firing off insults at Attard (“tort tieghek hi” blah blah blah).

For crying out loud, who cares. This country has so many serious problems and issues and these grown men are getting all worked about losing Malta’s chance to shine in a silver cat-suit, or whatever this year’s horrible outfit is.

Malta is in the headlines all the time for all the wrong reasons nowadays, and they think a headline saying that Malta won the Eurovision Song Contest is going to somehow make things better.

Grown men with the mentality of teenage girls – the curse of Malta.
