Now that would be a powerful message.<br /><br />The other is this. I agree it would be great to vote for 'free radicals' or even independents. Unfortunately you did this policy no favours by deciding not to stand after all the beck and call of an independent platform. It is a pity, as until then I followed the blog quite faithfully. <br /><br />It is unfortunately easy to preach when you lack the faith of your own convictions to actually stand.

The circumstances of where Mr Picardo finds himself professionally are completely different and the cases involving him are still ongoing. He also said that Triay & Triay lost its libel case against a newspaper in Spain. This statement by Mr Picardo is not accurate. The Necora case involved the arrest in Spain of a Gibraltar lawyer who had no connection and had never had any connection with Triay & Triay. Mr Picardo should, as a lawyer himself, know that repeating statements that have been already found to be defamatory is itself defamation."<br /><br /><br />Anonymous at 15:22 (Patriot):<br /><br />I am not forced to vote for either of them. I have 10 votes to vote for whichever individuals I wish to vote for, so your quaestion is fallacious. <br /><br />None of my 10 votes, at present, would go for either of them. I do not like autocratic presidents. PRC is alrady one and his performance in Parliament yesterday was a disgrace in my view 9see tomnights blog). Picardo has the makings of one, although, at least, he makes noises in favour of more democratic government. <br /><br />I will not be pushed to make a HOBSON'S CHOICE, which is what our electorate has been convinced they have to make. I am too much of an indepenednt and individualist thinker.

In Parliament he refers to the debt being too high and then goes on to say that taxes have not been brought down far enough, he recommends an immediate and dangerous 18% which would cost the economy £25m, then he goes on to say that the surplus should be higher up to £40 and not the current £28m and finally he goes on Facebook to tell his followers that the debt is bordering on illegal, its too high and a noose round our necks which would cost each family depending on how many kids you have up to £28,000!!!<br />Then people wonder why Caruana loses the plot with him and makes him look like the politically convenient, immature and economic illiterate that he so obviously is.<br />What is fascinating is that we all seem to be more concerned about Caruana's style and the fact que a el pobrecito Fabian le han dao un cacao, than actually understanding that FP is either playing with the truth to scaremonger or does not have a clue, or both.<br />What was an eyeopnener and which I think someone refers to above is what he did to Danny whilst at the GSLP, is that true?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247742529089642474.post-60968726037722113522011-07-07T12:12:44.836+02:002011-07-07T12:12:44.836+02:00Yes Yes Marlene lo que tu diga reyna :)

Caruana has called Picardo a liar behind the screen of parliamentary privilege and wants to pepetuate the LIAR allegation in a parliamentary motion. Picardo's reaction is the thing to watch out for. I think that he will try to turn the issue against Caruana by saying that he is vicious, rurhless and malicious but we all know that and bizarre as it sounds that has often served Gibraltar well. Unless Picardo comes up with a devastating retaliation he will be seen to be weak and not to have the mettle needed to run Gibraltar. Many of us will wonder why with the ammunition available to him to pummel the GSD Picardo does not act and we will think that his baggage has made him a spent force. The ingratiatory style of the international law firm has no chance against the Soviet prosecutorial style of Tovarich Caruana.
