COMMENT
FALKLANDS SENSITIVITY
The commencement of drilling for oil in British waters around the Falkland Islands and British assertion of its sovereignty of the waters has become an issue that Gibraltar will want to watch closely.
OUT OF STEP?
The Finance Centre has naturally been taken aback by events which have unfolded publicly this week involving the arrest of a lawyer from a prominent firm like Marrache & Co which is now in the hands of police investigators.
BREAKING THE MOULD
“A process fair to both staff and GBC should be undertaken to establish remuneration, but pay scales should take account of pay scales operating in Gibraltar, UK rates cannot simply be transposed.”
THE PRACTICAL REALITY OF BEING OPEN
The greatest menu in the world is only as good as the food that is served to the table. Much the same applies to the quality of democracy and issues such as open government.
THANK YOU KAIANE THANK YOU GIBRALTAR
Not only do we produce a Miss World, but, remember we are 30,000, what an ability to rise to the occasion. Gibraltar did itself proud yesterday and the thanks today also have to go to the people of Gibraltar and the amazing quick organisation of her reception at every level.
LET’S GIVE HER A TRUE GIBRALTARIAN WELCOME
She put us on top of the world. It’s our turn to say thank you.
In this rare occasion to take to the streets to celebrate beauty and global recognition of our culture and identity as a people, Kaiane deserves nothing less than a standing ovation.
If you can, join the festive event. Miss World is a Gibraltarian…she deserves to see how much we appreciate that.
NEVER SAY NEVER…
Miss Gibraltar’s meteoric rise to the elite of the twenty finalists was already a champagne popper. Then the explosion of excitement as many of us heard with disbelief and amazement that she was proclaimed winner. Wow!
SWIFT ACTION, MORE THOUGHT
If the incidents yesterday show anything, it is the importance of operators on the ground understanding the politics and legal framework in which they are working.
DEAR SANTA
Many people in Gibraltar have been shocked by the conditions which the Government as employer has found itself accepting for postal sorters because of some outdated contractual issue.
QUEEN, THE ROCK VERSION
Not just because Christmas is coming but Keith Azopardi, the breakaway former GSD deputy, now PDP leader, may find that the timing of his new book 'Sovereignty and the Stateless Nation' is highly topical.
