There were times when I thought this day would never come, there were times when I thought I couldn't take another second, but the day has finally come, I am leaving Gibraltar. And I mean for good.
Therefore I see no reason why I should hold back my despise for all things Gibraltarian. So far I have respected their ridiculous sense of Gibraltarian pride and have tried to avoid not saying anything upsetting. Which frankly is god damn difficult as anything spoken about Gib coming from the mouth of a non Gibraltarian is taken as a personal offence. But now that I am leaving I do not feel the same precautionary need. I have therefore decided not to hold back. This new not holding back strategy will mostly manifest itself in speaking freely about Gibraltar and share my uncensored view on Gibraltar.
I reckon I will face the most problems when using the fine Gib taxi service; I will be in a confined space and within hearing reach of a most likely very proud Gibraltarian. I look forward with child like excitement to see if I will actually manage to get banned from gib taxi.
I'd like to point out that I am not doing it out of spite, I am doing it for my right to freedom of speech. I have been holding back for too long.
Let's hope they just won’t throw me in jail for disturbing the peace!

Jeeeeezzzzz.
I have been reading your Why Gibraltar blog and it has had me in stitches.
As a Gibraltarian who grew up outside of the town walls (by quite some distance) I can appreciate and understand your frustrations.
I personally feel Gibraltar could be a wonderful, beautiful jewel in the mediterranean if the natives would just get up off their arse, stopped working half days, use the brains they were born with, and generally pull together and demand a better Gibraltar from their Government.
If you are on Facebook join the 'Speak Freely' Gibraltar page. I often vent my spleen at taxi drivers, government offices and their ilk.
Keep up the writing, lol
