Grown man upset by balloon ban

    An adult man is upset by the Government’s decision to ban the release of balloons at public events by 2020.

    While many have welcome the move – part of a plan to reduce single-use plastics that the Government said was its own original idea that it always intended to do even if people like Camilla Appelgren hadn’t stopped going on about it – others are not happy.

    “It’s like they want to suck all the joy out of life,” said 40-year-old Carmel Farrugia.

    “How am I supposed to be happy now if I’m at a wedding or mass meeting and I can’t watch little helium-filled balloons slowly rising up into the sky to join God and all the other balloons in heaven?

    “I’m not surprised José Herrera is behind this. I’ve never seen him smile.”

    When it was pointed out to Mr Farrugia that balloons are highly damaging to marine life, he replied:

    “If a turtle can’t tell the difference between a balloon and a jellyfish, it doesn’t deserve to live.”

    Mr Bonnici said he was planning to leave “this liberal, politically correct, socialist shit-hole” and rescue all of Malta’s unused balloons by tying them to his house and floating away to a better country.

    Update: Mr Bonnici’s has been spotted this afternoon taking heavy anti-aircraft fire over Tripoli.
