Transport Minister Ian Borg will be forced to swim in the sea like a mere mortal after the Court of Appeal pulled the plug on his plans to build a private swimming pool on agricultural land next to his house.
“As you can imagine, I’m devastated by the judge’s decision,” Borg told Bis-Serjetà outside the Law Courts.
“I was really looking forward to inviting all the other ministers to my pool parties once it was finally finished. Konrad was going to DJ and Chris Cardona was going to bring the coke…a Cola and the hook…respectable lady friends.
“Now if I want to go for a swim I’ll have to head to a public beach and mix with the plebs and all their screaming little brats. Not to mention the fact that I hate sand. It’s coarse and rough, and it gets everywhere.”
Borg also said he wasn’t looking forward to the prospect of running into prominent clean-up activist Cami Appelgren.
“She’s so fucking annoying, always tagging me on Facebook and cleaning up all the beaches. Doesn’t she have any Filipino maids to do that for her? When I’m Prime Minister I’m going to personally suffocate a turtle with a plastic bag just to spite her,” he said.
Going back to the judgement itself, Borg said he was perplexed that the Planning Authority had upheld its own rules.
“This is not what I signed up for when I entered politics,” he said.
