The façade of the law courts in Valletta introduces us, day in day out, to the TV news from there. I feel ashamed to have to watch the accent on the crumbling lower bases of the façade columns. What an eyesore.

Is it beyond us to afford to restore these column bases possibly before the grand 2018 event? I do not think we need another committee to deal with this big job. Save the money and have it done tomorrow.

Let us show some pride for one of our landmarks even if the court was not built by gentlemen for gentlemen. Those edifices lasted much longer.
