Ours is a story that is lasting far too long. To take a Shakespearian phrase from Hamlet; it has become “weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. I’m referring to of course, that which is entwined with Spain’s absurd and outdated demands for sovereignty. The harsh reality is that if we don’t this time around, capture the UK Government’s complete attention, I feel we are going to reach a point where we never will. Read more

When the young Gibraltarians that bought their first properties, they bought thinking that the other half was going to be owned by the Gibraltar Government. But now appears that the Government will be selling the other 50% off, this can’t be right. How can a Government sell their assets which are really supposed to be looked after and cherished by the Government? Read more
