Yes I believe that a peaceful demonstration might be in order, to voice our concerns; for whilst once upon a time it was always the policy of the Foreign Office to come out saying that although the Spanish pretensions were “certainly very irritating; in fact no one takes much notice of them.” Well, the world has moved on, and guess what, they do now!

Border force is a part of the Home Office responsible for frontline border control operations at air, sea, and rail ports in the UK. Its fleet of patrol boats known as “cutters”, are used to control maritime traffic throughout UK waters. Although they operate mainly in UK waters, they have responded to deployments from the Baltic to the Mediterranean. Read more

When surrounded by a swirling drift which impeded his continuation up the mountain, Captain Scott wrote in his diary, “I do not think we can hope for any better things now. We shall stick it out to the end, but we are getting weaker, of course, and the end cannot be far.” Read more

by CARMEN GOMEZ - a former Miss Gibraltar
I find myself writing about a film which has been brought to my attention; a film to be released in 2020, under the title “Misbehaviour.” My particular interest here is that it has been written about the Miss World contest of 1970, which I took part in. Keira Knightley stars. In fact from what I have gathered, a few of the contestant’s roles have already been cast, with my part being played by an Italian actress, by the name of Elena Marotta. I heard that her name had been mentioned recently as being a possibility to play the young Ava Gardner, in a film of her life. Read more

I am a child of a past era; but that does not mean that my values are out of zinc with today’s world, or less important. Nor am I making any comparisons in order that those values of today either appear to be wrong, or less worthy. I am simply stating my case; one which I feel should be taken into consideration and given some serious thought to. Read more

Dare I say that in Brussels, despite the front set up by Junker and Tusk, the member states are huddling round the queen bee in her hive, more out of fear of the unknown than simple camaraderie. Read more

It’s interesting how, when Spanish environmental groups like Agaden, Verdemar and Greenpeace, present a document to do with finding ways to mitigate, what they consider to be dire environmental situations affecting the Bay of Gibraltar, they always relate the lack of attention given to this, to disagreements between Spain, the UK and Gibraltar.

I heard over the festive season; as passers-by were briefly interviewed on TV as to whether they did their Christmas shopping in stores or on the Internet; one woman say that she had no time to go shopping, so she preferred to buy online and have it brought to her doorstep. Read more

When authoritarian solutions become increasingly popular in countries like Spain, it’s the result of great discontent which has helped bring the far right influence into politics; whose ideology is very foreign to ours and can end up affecting our trajectory. Embedded in the same system and subjected to the same pressures, political parties in Spain are squeezing and warping political life. But much the same is happening in the UK; with promises unkempt; lies veiled in truths; talk of gloom and doom; all of which can push the ordinary man in the street into a corner; where he finds himself in a quandary and worse still, sees himself unable to find a way out. It feels as if we are all in an advanced state of political and moral decay. Read more

Come the New Year, it’s a time to plan for the year ahead. In the life of this small nation of ours, I would like to think that we not only leave behind us certain negative attitudes which have troubled us incessantly; but be resolute in our resolve to demand that the UK give us clear and concise answers to our questions.
