So - why does the average UK citizen care what happens concerning Gibraltar? Does it bring substantial income to Britain? Is it of massive strategic importance, militarily. Or is it just "it's been ours for a few hundred years, and we want to keep it".Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

If Gibraltar wants to stay we should allow them & protect them. That is what decent people do.
Spanish want to force Gibraltar to become part of them. Should we let them.
The correct response to this was for the British Government to have said to the EU 'I thought you wanted to do this professionally'Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

If they can convince the EU to let them stay I'm sure we will be happy to support them. Its the EU who is letting Spain missbehave.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
