“Best brains of Gibraltar” will work together in a Consultative Council
The ‘best brains in Gibraltar’ will work together for the common good under plans for a proposed Gibraltar Consultative Council. The aim is to set up a permanent forum that will work along the same lines as the UK’s Privy Council, providing non-partisan advice to the Chief Minister of the day on issues of national importance, reports the Gibraltar Chronicle.

@3. Always worth trying a comparison. Argieland GDP (PPP) $953.029 billion. And then Gibraltar. To be accurate, multiply Gibraltar's current GDP by 1422.26926. The result of dividing argieland's population by Gibraltar's. The equivalent of 1,422.26926 billion. So, comparably, Gibraltar is SO much better than argieland. And it IS self-sufficient. Just like the wonderful BRITISH Falkland Islands.
Apr 30th, 2015 - 01:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@4. Yeah, wonderful. Meanwhile, the UK's economy is twice the size of spain's. The UK exports 62% more than spain. The UK's GDP is 80% more than spain's. The UK's gross national income is 3 times that of spain. 51% more of spain's population is below the poverty line. Spain's unemployment rate is 3 times that of the UK. Shall I continue?

What is the migration balance for Argentina then?
Floods of people trying to get in like Europe, or hordes of people desperate to leave like N. Africa & Mid East.
I think we all know the answer, don’t we.
@9. What's up, sub-sub-humanoid? Lost track of the difference between the UK and Gibraltar?
Apr 30th, 2015 - 03:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0According to index Mundi, at least 30% of the argie population exists below the poverty line. A much greater percentage than the UK. Want to try some more comparisons? The average monthly disposable income in the UK is 3 times that of argieland. UK GDP is 5 times that of argieland. UK Gross National Income is 6 times that of argieland. Argieland is 12 times the size of the UK. Argieland has an intentional homicide rate 3 times that of the UK. The UK exports 6 times more than argieland. UK government revenue 8 times that of argieland. UK government expenditure 9 times that of argieland. The argie population below the poverty line is 3 times that of the UK. UK gross national income per capita is 4 times that of argieland. UK household final expenditure 5 times that of argieland. UK industrial production growth rate 10 times that of argieland. Shall I continue showing how worthless you are? Actually, despite your bravado, I noticed as I went through the statistics that the UK even exports more oil than argieland.
@11. I'm sure that you're an expert, since you spend most of your time with your head up yours.

Honestly, that is the way “Paul Cedron” speaks - I can't tell the two of you apart anymore.
Speaking of which,
The Pablo “petite-voice” persona seems to be on its last warning - after a spectacular FAIL and tantrum as Viral01 or Vitriol01 or whatever, it has returned as our beloved “Paul”, with less swearing.
No different, just a much smaller vocabulary.

Who would bother replying to an obvious lie...?
....“but appreciate you believing I have the time and ability to have....2 or perhaps 3 logins.”
Which is it Skip be specific...because everyone that has been on here for a while knows for a fact that you have at least two logins...
The spare one you keep for puppets.....you only need two..if I thought for one second that you only had one, I would have taken your regular “Skip” login whilst you were using another name.....;-))))
I can see most of you scratching your heads at this....If someone changes their name on their login, then the original name is not taken and is free to be selected...
BTW what's wrong with Pigardo...no one can deny he's a bit of a porker...seems apt..

I think “Paul” would agree with you.
Yeah not following you Voice.
May 01st, 2015 - 02:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0So I have more than one login. Have never hidden that fact. That is how I can sometimes post very long posts one after the other. You will never take my Skip login Voice. But feel free to keep trying when you believe I have removed it from my login.
But I see you fudge when you talk about who are my puppets.
As per usual you are found wanting. You love to accuse. I'm not at uni, I have sockpuppets but that is all you are.
All talk!
Again just another random accusation by you that means nothing. If I do all the things you accuse me of, then either I am extremely good at it because you can't actually prove it or I am just more intelligent than you.
A “paranoid” personality is characterized by suspicion and distrust of others; a tendency to look for hidden meaning behind other people's actions; argumentativeness; complaining; low tolerance for criticism; and a constant display of one's own talents, accomplishments, independence, and rationality.
