thread_title: Superwookie

message: And from June 2007 there is new legislation that removes the phrases 'the Colony' and 'UK possession' from Gibraltar's laws.
"As we now consider ourselves neither a colony nor a UK possession, those references are deleted," said Chief Minister Peter Caruana as he talked MPs though the legislation. The change stemmed from amendments to the Interpretation and General Clauses Act, a technical document that provides a glossary of terms and definitions for local law.
So any references to 'The colony of Gibraltar' are now limited to being in a historical context. --Gibnews 18:29, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: New Legislation

message: Gibraltar has a long history and the failed Spanish attempt to 'reclaim' the territory forms a small part of its modern history.  Anyone who doubts that the Gibraltarians reject the claim or any proposal of joint sovereignty should read the section on the 2002 referendum.
As regards claims that terrorists were 'murdered' here, the Gibraltar constitution defines what murder is, and the inquiry held in Gibraltar determined that it was lawful killing. Visitors intending travelling with bombs should note that part of the constitution is still in place.

:The move causes a distinct error. In 1854 she was not the USS Quaker City as the US Navy woould not employ her for another seven years.

message: I think the statements on reliability need to be put into perspective. While it seems true that the cars are easy to repair by the owners, it also seems as if there is always somnething that needs to be fixed. Rule of thumb seems to be one maintenace session every 1000-1500 km off paved roads. Part of the problem are probably substandard spare parts and the decline of product qualitity mentioned in the article, but even then I think stating that they are known to be "extremely reliable" does sound incorrect. I don't know where one could find reliable sources, though. 
Btw. would it be worth mentioning that the car can be started by cranking if the electric starter fails?

message: I'd really like to see this part of the quotation removed. While he did say it, I dont think its an accurate reflection of events during operations in Burma in 1943. Wingate said similar disparaging things about Gurkhas, Indians and British Soldiers that should equally be forgotten. The tone of the statement is that Burmese are suitable to fetch and carry but not to fight. 
"He is not at all ideal in defence. He is not ideal if ordered to attack a strongly held position. But in carrying out rapid, bold and intelligent patrols in the face of the enemy, in obtaining local information, in making propaganda, in handling boats, in living off the country, and in loyal service to his officers he is without equal. This therefore is the use to which he should invariably be put.
