Magalluf - Mole In The Hole

The Magalluf nonsense rumbles on. You could have put good money on the British red-tops doing whatever they could to get a story once THAT video became public knowledge. And to no one's surprise, therefore, "The Sun", via its so-called Magalluf Mole, came up with its laughable front page on Tuesday. A staged photo? A fake? Who cares what it was, it was worthy of all the derision that it received, as was the story that went with it: the same outrageous stuff we have been accustomed to this summer.

While we can all be critical of Calvia, in this instance the town hall would have had every right to have made a statement declaring that it was totally contemptuous of "The Sun". But while one feels a touch of sympathy on this occasion, what do we make of the video doing the rounds of the sex on the BCM party boat? And what do we make of Calvia's silence on the matter? The video was posted onto Manu Onieva's Facebook wall. The mayor's comments were requested. There have been none.

In a further development, Javier Pierotti, who was the one who put out the video of the cars trapped by the baying hordes on the Punta Ballena last summer (Magalluf Chaos), has released another video, which asks for people's help in getting improvements in Magalluf. With the support of Shaggie (he of Shagalluf), Elizabeth Dobson and others, a request is being made for Javier, who has no political affiliation or ambition, to be co-opted onto working groups at Calvia town hall so that the views of people in Magalluf can be heard and their co-operation can be sought in bringing about genuine improvements. Javier put a 32-page dossier some time ago in which he highlighted problems and made suggestions and recommendations (seemingly all ignored). A petition to have Javier co-opted has been placed on Change.org. There is more information on Facebook - For a better Calvia - and the video asking for help is on YouTube - "Magalluf Video - We Need Your Help".
