Re: Ancestry DNA

My opinion every baby born and every person living in the UK or here should have their DNA on record, think how this could help fight crime, missing people etc etc , you might say this sounds like Big brother, but already they have face recognition cameras, they can listen in when you use your phone...

Re: Update on crematorium?

Gibraltar has a crematorium, and their population is less than 40,000, which is about the same amount as the number of British expats living in the Paphos area. I hope they do open one, it would make things alot easier. And a lot cheaper too. I was quoted €5,000 for a body to be repatriated to the ...

Re: Masks and mandatory tests following Covid 'outbreak'

You do all realise that the idea of face masks was only introduced to make people more aware of covid? There was never any scientific evidence that they did anything.
