Generally, in tower blocks, lifts have to be maintained throughout the year, as they tend to beak down for all sorts of different reasons. One of the reasons being that they are used not only by the people who live there; some of whom travel in them with their motorised buggies; but also to transport heavy goods like pieces of furniture when they are moving out, or moving in.

IN MY VIEW by F. OLIVA
The toxic state of Gibraltar’s political arena is best exemplified by Unite the Union’s call for a demonstration outside Convent Place on January 10 to protest against the Health Authority.
Using a hospital, an essential public service which deals with matters of life and death as leverage to compel any elected administration to adopt a particular course of action is morally questionable even at the best of times. Read more

Fear or anxiety is easy to manipulate, and we are wired to respond. Do you remember the film “The Invasion of the Body Snatchers?” It has a familiar ring these days. Why?

Several important conclusions can be drawn from Chief Minister Fabian Picardo’s recent appearance before the House of Commons, European Scrutiny Committee. Perhaps the most significant is that he has a rational, long-term political vision for the future of Gibraltar, a well-constructed plan that is unmatched by the paltry pursuits of an Opposition more concerned about short-term, party political scrambles for votes, than with addressing the matters of existential magnitude that shook us to the core after the Brexit upheaval reconfigured our political parameters for all time.

It seems to me that anyone who follows the news; not just browses through the headlines, but bothers to read on to the end of the article; can realize that both the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister have been for a very long time, and continue to at present, trying via every venue open to them; through every contact possible in the diplomatic world; to bring about a harmonious and satisfactory consensus for all involved i.e. the community of Gibraltar; which would then naturally spill over to those in the Spanish territory.
