Dear Sir,

Dear Sir,
Your article in Friday’s Panorama decries the apparent loss of trees in the area of Queensway adjacent to the new Park. I am of course not surprised at this reaction and in fact welcome this support for trees from Panorama, which Armando Lagrande’s article clearly demonstrates. Read more

Dear Editor,
Further to the news of the 'killing' of the trees in Queensway to make room for another park, I would like to bring to the attention of this government that they need to focus on infrastructure. Like the 'airport tunnel' ( which is going to become a joke, if it's not already), Read more

Dear Sir,
The action of Blacking out thousands of Television subscribers by GibSat and U-mee Satellite Tv providers on Wed 21st of October at 6pm was designed to frighten and gain support in a commercial dispute. All it did was cause anxiety among a community already in the grip of a Covid Pandemic, escalating infections and related deaths in parallel with the uncertainties, that Covid and Brexit hold I store for us.

Dear Sir,
CUSP has previously called on the Department of Education to allow students in receipt of... Obviously, the priority should be to bring our students home.

Continued from previous edition
Then along came Tony Blair in 2002, who accused us of having a “schizophrenic” attitude to our status; here we go again with our status; when he tried to give Gibraltar to Spain to carry favour with EU. I’m sure that those in the EU could be forgiven for now saying the same about the British government and their attitude towards Brexit dealings. Not quite what we would have expected from politicians or ministers who surely must be aware that; unlike other overseas territories; we have long historical ties with the motherland that distinguishes us from the others, in addition to having a totally different culture and education to that of Spain. But the unfortunate thing is that they are not alone. Their conduct has prompted phrases carried in newspapers when talking about Gibraltar like “at present it is a British overseas territory.” Read more

It appears that many in Spain; including the EU; have yet to recognize or even understand their politician’s behaviour. They appear incredulous when referring to say the many contradictions from the Madrid mayor, in relation to the pandemic rules laid down by the central government. Eventually they have had to call them by their proper name i.e. lies. Read more

“Are you the voice of a generation?” a question posed in a magazine to young aspiring writers, with the offer of the chance to work with some of the industry’s most esteemed editors. I have seen similar adverts put out locally, but with very few takers. In the old days in Gibraltar i.e. in the 60`s, from what I recall, there was a generation of young people eager to put their views forward and to engage in healthy debate about the state of affairs of their town and society in general.

CARMEN GOMEZ DIARY
On account of so much talk of how things are never going to be the same; of how we will have to do things differently; I find myself thinking back on times when one misbehaved as a child and was punished accordingly; something which makes us ask, what is it we did to deserve this? Read more

CARMEN GOMEZ DIARY
As the initial surge of help and helpers during the covid lockdown now blurs into a distant memory; that’s how fickle memory is; we find ourselves in a strange world. We recall having seen how the pandemic affected the rest of the world as we watched the death tolls. When I say we, I mean what has become to be termed as the golden hour brigade; you know, the over seventies; not the young; as they were busy making themselves useful to the community, and living life on their own wavelength; as youth dictates.

SAYS CARMEN GOMEZ: Check involves a series of three moves available to the player, when he feels under attack. Checkmate is for the victor who knows the king has nowhere else to go without being captured and has lost. We are not under attack just yet and we have that important veto in our constitution in the case that we were. Read more
