We need to know more. A podcast for what? #Gibraltar
LaLlave@LaLlave1704
So GoG is setting up a podcast to spew more misinformation and skewed view of the world. Obviously @GBCNewsroom and @GibChronicle aren't telling the world the news as seen from the spinmaster's viewpoint. I hope they get ZERO followers. Straight out of Joseph Goebbel's playbook

@Victorbastion @Calderon76J @reb_calderon Not good news Victor. He has labelled you and I as cowards and he said the word b*llox to those who feel afraid to speak up in their own name. I'll listen some more and let you know how it goes.
English
@barristocracy @Calderon76J @reb_calderon You're very quick Barri to assume - maybe the hysteria comment wasn't directed at you. We can discuss when you listen to it 😘
English
@Victorbastion @GBCNewsroom I think he's referring sprcifically to misuse of parliamentary privilege and the lack of right of reply. The Inquiry allowed both sides to put forward their views?

@GBCNewsroom C. Gomez laments Parliament as a "platform for condemnation" of individuals and the Royal Gibraltar Police. But flip the script, wasn't it the opposition and McGrail's camp who dragged this into the public eye, demanding an inquiry?

@Victorbastion @VladimirUntold @ProvoloneGI @reb_calderon Not following Victor although it's getting late. I was replying to Vlad in terms of whether citing whistle-blower disclosures in parliament was a good thing and what the motive might be for doing so.
English
@barristocracy @VladimirUntold @ProvoloneGI @reb_calderon Barri, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Inquiry was not a legal verdict, was investigative report. There is, always has been, a process for handling these matters, using motions of confidence in Parliament to pressure someone into resigning actually undermines it

"The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."
That is what Picardo said the Openshaw Report would reveal.
The Monopoly board has been thrown up in the air.
#Gibraltar is a Banana Republic

GSLP aren’t satisfied that anything is the TRUTH unless they write it themselves. That’s why they don’t respect the Inquiry findings or Auditor & trash the separate roles people have if they speak TRUTH to power. They know no boundaries & risk collapsing constitutional protections
English
@Victorbastion @Calderon76J @reb_calderon Thanks for clarification, will have a listen and get back to you. Trust you're keeping well Victor?
English
@barristocracy @Calderon76J @reb_calderon Well, we’re on Rebecca’s post, all the context matters. ‘Unfiltered’ was literally the Government’s press release.

@Victorbastion @Calderon76J @reb_calderon Your very quick Victor to assume - what hysteria do you refer to? I will of course listen to it. I wondered meantime how it was unfiltered in your view?
English
@barristocracy @Calderon76J @reb_calderon He speaks about parliamentary reforms, if you’re willing to look past the hysteria long enough to listen to it.

@Calderon76J @reb_calderon Thought you'd enjoy reading this: It aims to provide direct, unfiltered access to the thinking, challenges and decision-making processes of Gibraltar’s leaders and public servants.

@VladimirUntold @ProvoloneGI @reb_calderon You are seemingly seeking to retrospectively justify the finding that the CM behaved improperly by interfering with a live investigation. There was, and still is, proper process for dealing with these issues from which those conflicted should stay well clear.
English
@barristocracy @ProvoloneGI @reb_calderon Because debating the whistleblowers statements in Parliament and once the statements are public, McGrail’s carefully polished reputation and the whole sainthood campaign falls apart!
Or do you really think we are that stupid??
English
@VladimirUntold @ProvoloneGI @reb_calderon CoP statement confirms they have or are being dealt with? Not debating them in parliament preserves the confidence and anonymity in the Whistleblowing process.
English
@reb_calderon If putting whistleblowers’ statements on record makes us a banana republic, what does burying them make us?
English
@StraightTalkGib @GBCNewsroom Another excellent article. Confidence and anonymity in whistleblower protections are also undermined by debating disclosures in parliament.

Shadow Justice Minister, Joelle Ladislaus, says the ratio of police officers to residents has also decreased from 2011 to date, given the rise in Gibraltar's population.

@Calderon76J @Stephen15834055 @reb_calderon I don’t think that analysis is right. Protests outside No.6 draw crowds when issues resonate with the community. This is a loud minority driven by the opposition, hence the hysteria. Still, the community will always defend the right to protest, I'm open to being proven otherwise.

The GSLP Ministers condone grossly improper actions; when they cease to be Ministers they should be shunned.
They do not deserve any status within our Community.
All Associations that they are member of should move to exclude them for the harm they have committed to Gibraltar

21 January 2026 - the day each & every Minister voted to support Mr Picardo in the Confidence Motion despite findings that he acted in a “grossly improper”way & attempted to interfere in a criminal investigation on several occasions. They now own & condone his improper actions

@LucyGerrardGib @reb_calderon It's symbolism for a world rotting from within or manifestation of corruption.
