TheEye once again apologises for being AWOL on the blog for a good few months now. To be fair, most of the reasons are sorted out now in a positive way – it’s just getting back to the discipline of posting. However a welcome excuse to get out and about […]

TheEye is busy with the General Election here in Gibraltar and much depends on the result here on the 8th December. TheEye’s job, for a start. On the campaign trail trying to keep things on an even keel…we shall see…but an interesting (for us locally) statement from the idiot europhile […]
