Letter: Warner shouldn't Rock this boat

Unfortunately for him, the British and Spanish governments have agreed that there can be no alteration to the sovereignty of Gibraltar without the agreement of the majority of Gibraltarians; and that is where the matter rests for this and for future generations.

Gerald is invited to fly down to the Rock and I will take him on a guided tour where he will be able to meet as many Gibraltarians as takes his fancy; he will be given a fair hearing. Upon his return to the United Kingdom he will have been converted to our way of thinking and will write an article apologising for his previously held totally unacceptable views.

The Marques de Lendinez, Gibraltar

I WAS amazed at the absolute lack of understanding shown by Gerald Warner in his article. His insensitivity and injurious attitude to the facts and history of our plight is at best reckless and demonstrative of someone who does not care for the truth.

Any person who shows the level of ignorance palpable in his diatribe on my homeland is not fit to be a member of a profession that is entrusted to act as the bedrock of democracy, as the balance between fact and fiction.

He has portrayed a side of the British character that epitomises the very reason why some actually despise the Union Jack. It's amazing how people like him then pretend to be the defenders of everything British, the custodians of the "true" British sense of justice.

Should you ever wish to give your readers a clear understanding of our case, there is ample material easily available that shows how irresponsible and careless this article is. Frankly it's a laughable portrayal of the plight of 30,000 loyal British subjects continuously under the pressure of a Spanish obsession fed incessantly by the spineless and indifferent acts of the very government that should be acting as custodians of our rights.
