Which brings me, to some very interesting but important information received by Panorama and ‘attributed to an FCO spokesperson in London’ who has surprisingly revealed, that Gibraltar is not alone and that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office are with us? It certainly does not look that way!

According to the information passed on to this newspaper, which will surprise many people ‘the FCO have 20 members of staff ‘working on the Gibraltar desk. This number we are told, is divided between the FCO London desk and the one here at the Convent.

In fact if these figures are correct, because at first glance they are difficult to believe, even if they did come from inside FCO HQ in London SW1 you immediately have to ask’ Just what are they doing for Gibraltar?

FCO has a 20 strong Gibraltar Desk task force… But what are they actually doing?

War of words over Monday's incident at sea

An incident in waters off the North Mole on Monday afternoon continues to court controversy, with the Gibraltar government engaging in a war of words with the Guardia Civil union over what exactly happened.

In a statement, Number Six rejects the Spanish union’s version of events as untrue, reiterating that the Guardia Civil boarded a local vessel illegally.

An officer of the Royal Gibraltar Police was injured as a result of the Guardia Civil’s manoeuvres, who reportedly obstructed the RGP. The Civil Guard officers have also kept the two local fishermen’s identification documents.

I thought that there were no fishing boats Gib catching bluefin tuna.
Fred are you going to admit that you were wrong for once !

MikeJ

The article specifically rejects the statement about Bluefin Tuna so why do you believe the GC over the British version - is this just another example of your unreasoning and unreasonable prejudice against Gib.
