Abortion on demand is a Holocaust

Dear Sir,

On 27th January 2020. we commemorated in Gibraltar the International Holocaust Memorial Day and the 75th liberation anniversary from the Nazi death camp in
Auschwitz. 6 million Jews were murdered in 4 years. Speaking from London, according to a GBC report, the Chief Minister said "... we must not turn away from the horrors of Auschwitz ... we need to ensure we don't fall into the trap of allowing it to happen again'1. We all agree. Read more

More in sorrow than in anger

Dear Sir,

Reading Joe Caruana's latest missive, I am reminded of the Iraqi Information Minister during the last Gulf War, nicknamed 'Comical Ali', on his wildly optimistic spin on military defeats.

What the La Linea mayor needs reminding of...

Sometimes, people’s inflated egos make them forget the ever present “hemeroteca” which is there to remind everyone of what they would rather forget.

The Health Centre

How bleak a sight to see people queuing outside the new health centre in bitterly cold weather at 7.30am, as I approached the hospital last Friday morning.

Akin to Gibraltar

Dear Sir,

Representation in Parliament for Gibraltar is not an alien thing or sets a precedent. Saint Pierre et Miquelon situated in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean near the Canadian provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador by the Gulf of St Lawrence. It is the only part of New France that remains under French control, with an area of 242 square kilometres (93sq mi) with a population of 7000. It was ceded to France by the United Kingdom on 30th May 1814. It has the Euro as its national currency.  Read more
