1. Yeah his confirmation certificate is on his bike holder lol.
   He’s an interesting minister that’s for sure, despite coming from the Green Party he has a not overly radical approach for agriculture.
   He doesn’t want to discourage meat eating despite himself being a vegetarian, but rather to get farmers to mitigate climate impact of farms, and trying to get government funds to do so.

   He’s been embraced by the agricultural community so far, and those are some hard German folks to please. A former agricultural minister was publicly called a “city brat” by their representatives.

2. This just looks ridiculous with the security cars flanking him. It makes him look like a virtue-signalling buffoon.

   Positive and effective policies and legislation is what society needs. Not these theatrics.

3. Ian would get a panic attack from all the trees that are on that road. Poor Ian and his phobia for trees and anything that is not covered with concrete :(. /S

4. Whilst I applaud this, having two bullet proof cars (look at the thick black borders on the glass) defeats the purpose and the spirit of commuting on a bike in the first place.

   Similar to when simon busuttil cycled to pieta with a black car running behind him in the background and a filming crew in front.

5. Lol ghandek xi cans

6. Rota wahda rajt ghaddejja il-bqija kollha karozzi lussuzi. Ma marx b’tal-linja biex jithallat mal-poplu.
