This is the question on many people’s lips around the world; a question which they may well want an answer to, from their respective Governments.

An extract from the summer of 1964, tells of how Joshua Hassan was preparing for the United Nations debate. “He organised and led the drafting by a committee composed of all the elected members of the Legislature, of a short, well-argued and telling pamphlet called “The future of Gibraltar,” which was sent to all the members of the committee of 24, together with an album of photographs of Gibraltar.” Read more

Animals not in captivity

As a daily routine to get the heart pumping and the knees in shape, having walked down our four flights of steps, I started the uphill climb perusing on those words uttered by so many supposedly knowledgeable people out there; people who have been telling the world that a highly contagious virus was going to descend upon us in the not too distant future. Two questions hammered in my head “How did they know?” and “why did no one pay attention to their warning?” Read more

Musing on life as one tends to do particularly when faced with a panorama never before envisaged; it is easy to lose the thread somewhat, on account of the surreal circumstances we find ourselves in. At such a time it is quite normal to ask, “How on earth did we get here?” when looking not just at ourselves, but the world in general. I must admit that watching the news on Sky TV sometime back, I witnessed Chinese people walking about with face masks in their daily fog soup; just like in the pictures of the old Jack the Ripper movies; and one of them, on being asked how he felt about the intense contamination around them, simply mumbled “at least I have work.” In other words, this man had come to a point of no return.
