It would be more than an understatement to say that, in recent times, we are failing to promote our identity and culture. Almost every day we hear of some Llanito book or piece of poetry being published for all to read and appreciate. Stage plays are being produced and Spanish – or Llanito – is...

Social media has a lot of good points. It is great for independent creatives to share their work and build an audience, gone are the days that people had to take out expensive adverts in magazines or publications (which may not have reached their target audience). One of my favourite Facebook pages is Gibraltar Writers...

By Christian Santos, Minister for Equality, Employment, Culture and Tourism This year’s United Nations theme for International Women’s Day, “Ensuring and strengthening access to justice for all women and girls,” could not be better timed. We are witnessing a worrying reality around the world where the rights of women and girls, which many assumed had...

Behind the technical notices and tax rates, pricing is already under pressure. So, who will pay come April 10? By David Revagliatte A recent headline about rising cocoa prices caught my eye. Not because I eat vast quantities of chocolate (though I wouldn’t complain), but because I immediately wondered what that meant for the businesses...

This week Alice’s Table will revolve around the area of City Mill Lane where two brothers were born a few years apart. I sat and chatted to them separately at Alice’s Table as they both contribute to this community in very different ways – but their stories begin in the town area and at around...

By Marlene Hassan Nahon Throughout my career as a politician, I applied one fundamental principle to my politics. Honesty. An honest position, with all its complications and nuances, is always preferable to a simple but dishonest narrative, even if that position does not fully align with your interests. That is because honesty and nuance nurture...

By Atrish Sanchez As International Women’s Day approaches, we will rightly celebrate the progress women in Gibraltar have made. And we should. But celebration without honesty risks mistaking progress for completion. For many women, choice is still more constrained than we like to admit, particularly when the equity to sustain it is not there. My...

By Sir Peter Caruana I start with a summary of my view on the Treaty: I support the Treaty, but the UK must give us certain necessary reassurances and the Gibraltar Parliament should not definitively trigger ratification until we have them. I have no reason to doubt that the Treaty, which I have read and...

So who might be Lord Calpe? Or better said, will there be a Lord Calpe? Politics may well be, as Sir Joshua Hassan often used to remind people, the art of the possible. But it is also often the art of setting out intangible rabbits to chase. This debate gets a resurgence, not just because...

The Theatre Royal – no longer with us - is a world away. Many years ago, it was a major part of the collective identity of life in Gibraltar. All social classes formed part of this collective. It will come as no surprise to many of my own personal interest in this area. The Theatre...

Exactly that: What has to come first for it to work? For what to work, you would sensibly ask. Yes, I must admit I sometimes write in a slightly obscure or vague fashion, but I do eventually get to the point for all to understand. Government is planning to spruce up Casemates, Chatham Counterguard and...

A couple of weeks ago Albert Freyone published an ‘open letter’ in this newspaper. It details with passion the current state of Gibraltar and how it’s falling far short of what it should be in terms of a visitor destination. Albert pulls no punches and my favourite quote has to be this: “We cannot out-mall...

by the Representation in Westminster Movement The United Kingdom’s citizenship and nationality framework has evolved into a complex and often contradictory system, producing a fragmented landscape of rights, identities, and democratic entitlements. This complexity is not accidental. Rather, it reflects a long-standing policy approach designed to preserve maximum constitutional flexibility for the British state keeping...

It should not surprise me, but a fair number of our readers have stopped and asked if Alice’s Table was going to feature any more stories from the Colonial Reports? And, yes, I have been working on it as it offers not just a window to our past but a real understanding of how far...
