Deep regret

Dear Sir,

It is with deep regret that the Self-Determination for Gibraltar Group learnt of the death of William Serfaty. Willie, as he was known by all who knew him, was a founder member of the Group and regularly attended all our meetings and participated in all the activities that we organised, from being part of the group that presented the Self- Determination petition to 10 Downing Street to the symbolic burial of the Brussels Agreement.  Read more

Intrusive treaty, says Feetham

Dear Sirs,

I refer to the debate on the recent Tax Treaty.

It is clear that those who are ordinarily resident in Spain should pay taxes in Spain and whether they are Gibraltarians or not, evading the payment of tax is not justified in any circumstances. No one is seeking to suggest otherwise.  Read more

Memories from Australia

Dear Sir,

Greetings from Australia.

I left Gibraltar, my home, some 50 years ago. I have revisited Gib many times, though it has been quite some years since I last set foot on my beloved Rock.  Read more

From the Imam:

The Imam of King Fahd bin Abdulaziz Mosque in Gibraltar strongly condemns the terrorist shootings in New Zealand, stressing that terrorism is rejected by all heavenly religions, universal ethics and international norms. He also states that Islam has forbidden assault on those who have committed themselves to worship, whether in the mosque, the church or any place of worship.  Read more
