Gibraltar’s dependence on cross-frontier workers has shot up in the last decade, and the GSLP now wants to reduce the number of daily commuters. Read more

It would be right and proper that when a newspaper, a freebie supposedly local, writes about the state of our beaches, that they don`t just say it marks a big improvement from 2018 as far as Western beach is concerned, but that they clarify that the poor quality, largely due to levels of sewage contamination, is a problem we have inherited from Spain.

IN MY OPINION by F. OLIVA
The proposed "revolution" in mainstream education in Gibraltar, a lamentable mirroring of what is happening across the western world, is throwing up many downsides and issues of concern.

IN MY OPINION by F. OLIVA
Revolutions are rarely benevolent episodes that improve the lot of mankind, and there are enough examples in human history to demonstrate that the opposite has been the case, that these upheavals usually have disastrous consequences.

My first paragraph in last week`s diary carried the title, "I worry about our Rock." Curious isn’t it, that one week later a very dangerous fire takes place; not on the Rock`s foliage, but in one of her many tunnels inside the Rock. Read more

As many of us try to find a way to cool down from the extreme heat, apart from staying in the sea for as long as possible at the beach; we are witnessing truly dramatic scenes as deadly wildfires rage around Europe; Read more

IN MY OPINION by F. OLIVA
Marlene Hassan-Nahon’s latest torrent of haphazard, stale political occurrences shows two definite things about the leader of Together Gibraltar. A prodigious capacity to regurgitate obsolete anti-capitalist, high taxation slogans, and a solid claim to the title of ‘Cassandra’, prophetess of doom who predicts misfortune at every turn.

Carmen Gomez Diary
Robert and Anamaria Gomez, both in their seventies, have completed their 1,000 mile charity walk, from the Rock to the Cantabrian Sea, which started from the shrine of our lady of Europa; where they received the blessing of Monsignor Azzopardi; before setting off. Read more

"Not all the angels have wings, some have stethoscopes"
This and other sayings like "Inhale courage, exhale fear," "scatter kindness;" and "Faith Trust and Pixie dust;" can be found painted on the side glass windows of the building adjacent to the hospital on Europort Road, which brings you on to a cul-de-sac. Read more

Oh dear, it`s happening all over again. It has been said that leaders need to have "trusted teams that reflect the character and integrity that you would wish to be associated with." I don`t believe that Boris Johnson has been a good judge of character, and for this he is now paying the price; his first was recruiting Dominic Cummings. Read more

SPECIAL REPORT by PETER TABERNER
Like the rest of the world Gibraltar is locked into a fight against inflation, with rising prices continuing to spiral upwards becoming an increasing concern for consumers.
The latest retail price index release by the government revealed that in the last quarter inflation had risen by 2.9%, and for the year so far there has been an upsurge in prices of a significant 7.6% by April 1.
In response to what is a fast moving situation, the Chief Minister will address issues of rising prices and inflation in his budget address, which takes place on June 28. Read more

In my view
by MARK VIALES
Gibraltarians could be forgiven for thinking UK politics have fallen into a complete farce after a series of humiliating scandals that could cripple Boris Johnson’s administration. The British Prime Minister has failed to keep the jackals at bay after the COVID-19 ‘Partygate Scandal’, which sparked a controversial confidence vote he narrowly survived. Read more

Last Friday we were treated to an end of term concert by the students of Gampa at the John Mackintosh Hall. In the old days, we all took part in an end of term concert, but this was reserved simply for the students and teachers. One might have been forgiven for thinking that the West End had come to the Mackintosh Hall that evening. Read more
