And what about all the money wasted on all the thousands of flowers planted in our roundabouts which die after a couple of weeks? This is surely an expense we can do without for the moment, or do we think that tourists come to Malta because there are flowers in the roundabouts?

Fejn hi l-kultura tar-rizenji. Waqt li Dr Gonzi jghid li kienet decizjoni iebsa biex inaqqas is-sussidju tan-nies b'dizabilita, jidher li l-ministru tas-sahha hassu komdu hafna biex jibghat il-fjuri. mhux min butu ftakru imma min but il-poplu Malti. Konna ghadna u nibqghu nghixu fil-pajjiz tal-Mickey Mouse.
