Everyone who knows Selwyn knows that he is amiable but has his limitations. That is why in his first public appearences Sel kept saying that he could not speak for the party. The GSD have heavywights like Feetham and Bossino but the minuses are too great Caruana is arrogant and has been in power too long, Holliday is permanently the subject of nasty rumours (not a single one of which has been proved, I hasten to say and are probably just malicious rumours), Sel is not up to it, Lianne is too young and Netto and Del Agua not too inspiring. It is good bye GSD. Welcome back Mr. J.J.

The point I was trying to make was that someone like the good Doctor, coming into the political fray as he does, brings along a few risks or as some would prefer "baggage". As opposed to new young candidates with no front line political experience who only bring vigour, enthusiasm and dedication.<br /><br />The fact that the Doctor has been administering several of Gibraltar’s asset (at quite a cost I might add), allows us, the public, to question his achievements or not in order to make a personal judgement. For that to happen there must be political honesty on all sides. My comments therefore have no ulterior motive whatsoever unlike the Panorama photo.<br /><br />In the latter case, any hint or suggestion that was no malice or mischief making on the part of the newspaper to publish that photo is an insult to any educated mind. No matter what spin is put on their arguments, this newspaper stooped to an all time in so far as reporting goes. It brought back bad memories of the use of innuendos by the previous GSLP administration.Disciple Xnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247742529089642474.post-49048750021405077302011-11-26T17:10:03.020+01:002011-11-26T17:10:03.020+01:00Anon @ 15.01 makes no sense.

What has Mr. Picardo's promise to rub the Spaniard's noses in the fact that Gibraltar is important to the economy of Las Linea (which is a small part of Spain) got to do with Mr. Figueras' similarly loony tunes idea of telling the dons in Madrid that if they do not open a new channel at the frontier we will allow bunkering on the East Side?

The latter's lack of knowledge of the planning process (he did not know what an appropriate assessment is for Pete's sake)highlights all that is disgusting about politics these days. Here is a man who asks the good people of Gibraltar to elect him to the post of minister with the responsibilty for the environment and he does not even bother to research the legal aspects of the subject! I nearly kicked my TV and congratulate Dr Cortes on his relative calm in the face of such an embarassing spectacle. When Figueras said that east side bunkering could be used as a quid pro que (blackmail?) to get the Spaniards to have another traffic lane at the frontier I finally realised without the slightest shade of a doubt that the world has gone completely mad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247742529089642474.post-64449489274060353312011-11-26T11:17:09.354+01:002011-11-26T11:17:09.354+01:00RV,
