Looks we are nicely stirring it up with the Spaniards

Giant image of the Queen projected on to Rock of Gibraltar - Telegraph

Re Ceuta and Melilla, if they come back with Morocco didn't exist when they acquired those cities, time to remind them who ceded it to them in the first place, which is Portugal who can quite legitimately ask for it back along with Ollivenza which was Portuguese and was captured by Spain who unsurprisingly doesn't want to give it back.

While we are about it, every time Spain tries to apply pressure we should stop all Pension payments to former Spanish workers and lay off Spanish shop staffs, delay all remittances to Spain by them, that will really hurt them in these hard economic times.

In fact the Catalans want Spain to get Gib back, because then the Treaty of Utrecht is then cancelled and they are independent. Funny how Spain doesn't mention that though isn't it?

Yes it is, very much so, but define little.

(So they gave it away and now want their toy back.)

There is the irony behind going to the organisation, (UN) to get them to rule on the issue, when they are blatantly ignoring the UN charter to self determination.

Territorial Integrity.
Surely that means goodbye to Wales and Scotland under those rules. (Where do you draw the line?)

And the RN wants to get in there and protect the livelyhood of the Gibraltarian fishermen, Is that not what they are for?

I don't know if the navy has the resources to defend them given how few ships we have that are required to do so much over the great expanse of the oceans. Short of rearming HMS Victory and sailing her down to the Rock I fear we have no choise but to try diplomacy.

Probably, you wouldn't want one of them crashing on your shiny patrol boat.

Make sure they do not sink the Gibraltar cops' boat doing one of their fag and dope runs! L.O.L.

The spics are happy to whinge about wanting Gib back but it doesn't stop them doing endless fag and booze runs over the frontier on an hourly basis. They stick to the legal limit and just walk from Spain to the B.P. garage, stock up and head back to Spain, dump the stuck in their car and turn straight round again. They seem to forget that Gib provides a lot of Spainish with jobs, something their own country can't do at the moment.

They don't even need to go as far as the BP garage. There is a fag and booze stall right next to the border, literally within a few steps. They all go there and walk back again. Whole thing must take about 2 minutes.
