The Royal Gibraltar Police (RGP) investigation into the allegation that ‘whistle-blowers’ were incentivised to provide evidence to the McGrail Inquiry “has not uncovered any evidence that meets the threshold for criminal prosecution for Misconduct in Public Office.”
Following the success of the Summer Camp the RGP will again provide a week for children aged between 8-10 to experience the police. The camp will take place from Monday 28th October to Friday 1st November 2013. Days will start at 0900hrs and end at 1230hrs, at the Neighbourhood Policing Compound.
Gibraltar’s first ever international literary festival runs from Friday 25th to Sunday 27th October. Paul Preston, Ben Okri, Joanne Harris and Peter Snow, are some of the big name authors and speakers so be sure not to miss this varied programme of events.
UK Conservative MP David Morris is set to table a Bill in UK Parliament, defining Gibraltar’s territorial waters in UK law, guaranteeing the Rock further support from the UK, at sea.
Mr. Morris visited Gibraltar during National Day and this weekend told the Sun, ‘ there is no use falling out over it. Spain is not taking it back.’ The Bill is will also set out to enshrine a right for Gibraltar to require the UK to provide whatever Coast Guard support is needed.
Whilst welcoming that part of the Chief Minister’s intervention in the US dealing with the 2006 Constitution and the Cordoba Agreement, the GSD questions the appropriateness of his far too generalised and indiscriminate comments regarding the campaign of hatred against the people of Gibraltar, only weeks before he is to hold talks with the Spanish Government.
As Gibraltar’s Chief Minister, Mr Picardo should at all times distinguish, between the Government of Spain on the one hand and the Spanish nation and media on the other. There are many people in Spain who have been critical of the way the PP Government has dealt with Gibraltar and the Chief Minister himself has made good use of his TV appearances, newspaper and radio interviews in Spain to defend Gibraltar’s position.
