This week Alice’s Table picks up the story of Gibraltarian singer songwriter and producer Simon Dumas and his life in Nashville - the home of country music. I recently caught up with him on one of his many home visits when he shared the breakup with the band King Calaway and how he has replaced...

By Jaime Netto In The 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte (1852), Karl Marx stated: Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past. By reference to this, Marx was suggesting that,...

It was 40 degrees Celsius in the shade and I was sat under a four-metre-high banyan tree in Mumbai’s suburbs, grateful for the shade this old tree provided me. Tall, leafy, with some funny looking branches growing out of it, I look down and noticed a red and white stripe painted at the base of...

By Gemma Arias Vasquez (*) I have read Nick Cruz’s opinion piece of 1st July with interest. It is telling that, even in criticising the Government, he accepts the central point that Gibraltar needs a proper residence framework. He accepts that our public services must be protected. He accepts that abuse must be prevented. He accepts that there is a...

Politics is best driven by vision. And invariably tested by fate. Behind any vision are not just abstract goals, but the values held by those pushing for change. The trouble is that most people in the public eye are complex, contradictory. They may do the right things for the wrong reason and the wrong things...

By Sophie Clifton-Tucker Gibraltar Pride was last weekend and I’m happy to report a hearty turnout, young and old. And then, as night follows day, came the comments. They are of course from perfectly reasonable people who want you to know they’re perfectly reasonable: “I don’t mind if someone’s gay, but does it need a whole month?” “Can’t they just have one day?” “I just think it...

A walk down Main Street last Saturday morning got me chatting about last week’s Alice’s Table and the year 1961. Why? Because I was stopped several times by some of our readers who enjoyed reminiscing and rediscovered some parts of our past that they had pushed away and forgotten. It never ceases to amaze me...

Ten years ago today, on June 24, 2016, the morning after the Brexit vote, I was scared. I don’t mind admitting it. The night before, I’d been at the count when the Gibraltar result came in, the first of the night across the UK. We were small, we’d all voted pretty much the same, and it was an easy count. Gibraltar was for...

Hailing from a small place like Gibraltar, the sense of community is given and often taken for granted. You greet your neighbours on your way to work, wave hello to the same people you pass by on your regular commute, arrive at work and greet everyone good morning. These are the people that have now formed part of your...

As UK heads to a summit with the EU on July 22nd trailed by the EU-UK Gibraltar Agreement that sees our border with Spain demolished a few days before that, one might think that Britain is beginning a journey, like the prodigal son, back home to Brussels. Perhaps it is. The road, however, is longer than many think. Tomorrow,...

I always, well maybe not always, but sometimes make excuses for them because perhaps they haven’t noticed you in the crowds (often there’s no one walking either way), or are deep in thought about something that’s troubling them or because of some important issue they’re having to take care of. Here we go again I...

It's no secret that the British had a habit of turning up in all corners of the globe and claiming bits of land. We in Gibraltar live in one such place. But did you know they once had another ‘colony’ just a three-hour drive away, on the outskirts of Sevilla? I recently visited Minas de...

Over the years I have been fortunate to have interviewed and written about Gibraltarians who have left their mark in many professions outside Gibraltar. In the art world, in the world of music and on the stage in the theatre world – there have been many others but today we will concentrate on a subject...

There’s a burger on my screen that has never existed. It never will. No cook has ever assembled it, no plate has ever held it, no human smackers have ever attempted to wrap themselves around it. It is perfect in an impossibly perfect way. The way the cheese melts at precisely the right angle…sesame seeds...
