This sign intricately dismantles one of the most problematic Maltese idioms… and about time.

Undoubtedly a unique way of justifying why you shouldn’t be deported – acceptable nonetheless.

This statement is as relevant today as it was a year ago – although for different reasons.

I think we can all agree that punishing racists can start with getting rid of their pastizzi privileges.
6. The Love-Thy-Neighbour Sign
For a nation that prides itself in its kindness and solidarity, Malta still has a thing or two to learn about loving thy neighbour.
7. The Love Sign

Love is love. It’s as simple as that.
8. The Ftira Sign
Although the concept of equal rights should be a simple enough concept for pretty much anyone to understand, this sign compares it to something we all know and love – the delicious Maltese ftira.
9. The 2020 Sign
Last but not least, this person perfectly encapsulates our feelings towards this rollercoaster of a year.
