A Maltese man is more outraged by people spraying graffiti tags on buildings than he is about over-development, it has emerged.
Joe Camilleri, 44, from Luqa, has so far left 82 angry comments on news articles about the recent spate of tags with the words ‘Ade’ and ‘Naz’ left on buildings and signs across the island.
However, as yet he has never shared a single news article, opinion piece or petition regarding the almost-daily announcement of plans to build a new high-rise monstrosity.
“These vandals must be brought to justice!” Mr Camilleri commented under a Lovin Malta article, referring to an idiot with a spray can and not in fact to greedy developers hell bent on defacing Malta for their own personal gain.
“If they’re foreigners they should be deported ASAP,” he wrote on a Times of Malta article, once again referring to a small-time nuisance and not to the corrupt oligarchs who will own apartments in the mega-hotels, presuming they are ever completed.
When confronted, Mr Camilleri said the new hotels would bring jobs to Malta, seemingly referring to mostly manual and service industry jobs that will be done by low-paid migrant workers.
“While morons who spray their names everywhere like a dog pissing on a wall are indeed annoying, they deserve about eight percent of the online outrage that should be reserved for Malta’s ongoing transformation into a Mediterranean Dubai,” Facebookologist Prof. Kevin Grima told Bis-Serjetà.
