Dear Sir,
I want my readers to take this with an open mind.
So now you have Brexit and what do you think is going to happen ? I’ll tell you what. Spain now has a powerful EU behind and backing them all the way to push for Spanish sovereignty of Gibraltar , don’t kid yourselves, they, the Spanish government can start making it very difficult for all of you.

POINTS OF VIEW
James Wahnon in social media:
Man arrested on suspicion of money laundering in the presence of the Guardia Civil.
Just read this in Panorama and I am a bit puzzled!
We argued against the joint use of the airport and one of the reasons was that Spain wanted the presence of their law enforcement agencies in the terminal. Now we allow them to accompany our law enforcement agencies when conducting searches in Gibraltar! Read more

A friend sent me a link of a short documentary film of the Miss World 1970 by Pathe News, where I could be seen with some of the contestants visiting the sites in London. I did not know of its existence and it pleased me greatly to see it. Shortly after photos taken from said site appeared in a website that shows old photos of Gibraltar, which apparently created a lot of interest because Gibraltarians love to see anything about Gibraltar that relates to our past.

Dear Sir,
On Saturday 1st February a Deaf Gibraltarian lady, Maite Facio-Beanland, stood in front of a predominantly hearing audience and gave us an insight to the Silent World of a Deaf person. It was a courageous and sincere expose of the life of many deaf people in the world which was succinctly delivered through a BSL interpreter and we the Brugada family warmly congratulate her for the uninhibited and relaxed style in which she delivered it. Well done Maite. Read more

Recently, we were crossing the runway on our way back from shopping at a local supermarket, when we saw a couple of young Spanish men walking nonchalantly further and further into the airfield, away from the paths demarcated for both pedestrians and bicycles. Read more

Dear Sir,
Reading the letter from Emilio Reyes, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If this is a response to my letters from a few months ago, why has it taken him or any of his colleagues so long to respond? Even if you don't have internet access in Gibraltar, Panorama is readily available in print. And he claims to be a member of the Representation in Westminster Group - isn't it supposed to be a Movement? Previously it was the Integration With Britain Movement, though it is not so much a case of old wine in new bottles, given that wine improves with age, so much as stale or mouldy bread in new wrapping, inedible however it looks on the outside.

Dear Sir,
I have been reading one or two scaremongering letters, which seem to say that a democratic petition signed by an electoral Gibraltarian majority should be ignored.
Gibraltarians are not fools, when they sign something they are fully aware of what it means for their future.
We all know we need to start determining our future, a secure one, for our future generations. Read more

There will be times when you may have wondered if anyone out there is listening; if anyone is taking things in; because even when in the company of others, this appears not to be the case. How many times have you found yourself in someone’s company, say having coffee, and when you are about to respond to the question “so tell me, how have you been?” someone else approaches the table and addresses the person sat opposite you.

Now that the foreign affairs committee of the Moroccan parliament have passed two laws to “re-actualize” the limits of its territorial waters; aimed to assert its sovereignty over its entire maritime coasts; perhaps its time for us to once again urge the UK Government to do likewise. Read more
