CHIEF MINISTER'S NEW YEAR MESSAGE 2020
My dear friends I hope you have all enjoyed restful and uneventful Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year celebrations. Our Hindu and Muslim brethren have also peacefully enjoyed their Diwali and Eid festivals respectively throughout the year.
Once again, it has been a year of plenty in most of our homes. Children delighted with presents, and tables bountifully laden with nothing but the best to indulge in.

With the dawning of a New Year, the remaining vestiges of colonialism ought to be removed from this British Rock of ours - and I will reiterate what I have said in the past, that Gibraltar should be granted Royal City status.
In fact, that we be known as the Royal City State of Gibraltar.
A 'city state' does not mean independence. Read more
