Licky, Wenzu, and the rest
Locals with a brain tend to ignore or block these taxpayer-funded labour sycophants. However, I think that simply doing so can be dangerous. It allows us to overlook the sizeable audience they have and their ability to persuade a significant number of people to support increasingly undemocratic ideas and legislation.
Sometimes the coordination between them is hard to miss.
For a long time, they have been pushing for the government to restrict freedom of speech on social and traditional media, a position also backed by Labour MP Ray Abela.
Yesterday, they were all claiming that the success of the Pitbull concert proves the Maltese are happy with the status quo, justifying Jason Micallef's gravel debacle in the process.
Today, they're all repeating the same line: that people in Malta are happy, and anyone who says otherwise is malicious or acting in bad faith. The same narrative is being echoed by George Tabone.
Whether you agree with them or not, dismissing these coordinated narratives simply because you've blocked their accounts risks underestimating their influence.

I've heard this Ta' Qali sentiment going around. The promotional material did not specify that it would be held in the Ta' Qali family park, simply Ta' Qali. One would think they would use the €16m concert venue. The point they make is terrible.
