Felix Busuttil has began chopping down all the trees in Valletta to prevent black people from sitting under them.
The dance instructor and one-time Labour MEP candidate began his crusade against black people sitting under trees yesterday, after posting a photo on Facebook of a small group of black people seeking shade in Triton Square in Valletta, something he claims clashes (‘jikklexja’) with Maltese culture.
Busuttil took his campaign into the real world this morning, turning up at the square and hacking down the few trees in the square with an axe.
“I don’t care if it’s really hot. We can’t have these black people just relaxing and minding their own business in a corner of the square,” he said as he buried his axe into the trunk of one of 50 indigenous oak trees located in the square.
“Just to be clear – it’s not the fact they’re black that irks me. It’s that they aren’t bothering anyone. That’s not what Maltese culture is all about. Maltese culture is loud, obnoxious teenagers playing shit music full-blast on their JBL speakers while throwing their McDonalds rubbish on the ground and being a general nuisance. And it certainly isn’t anything to do with trees.
“Mind you, if I saw black people littering and being a nuisance, I’d film a whole documentary, never mind take a photo. But as I said, this has nothing to do with skin colour.”
Busuttil said that after he’d finished chopping down all the trees in Valletta, he would be heading to Laparelli Gardens for this evening’s Cinema City screening of World War Z.
“Now that’s what I call Maltese culture,” he said.
