Outrage as Spain and EU accused of using Brexit to take back Gibraltar, as MPs say Britain will 'not be bullied'*

The irony that we are the ones choosing to bring back border controls has passed most Brexiters today. Are we not also discussing Ireland and NI as a special case as well?

There's going to be a lot more Brexit snowflake Outrage to come.

I'm sure all 17m Brexit voters have carefully considered Gibraltar as well as Ireland in their deliberations and we needn't worry.

Who needs Gibraltar when you can holiday in Ramsgate? ;-)

Will the Moroccans get their island back?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceuta

The government of Morocco has repeatedly called for Spain to transfer the sovereignty of Ceuta and Melilla, along with uninhabited islets such as the islands of Alhucemas, Velez and the Perejil island, drawing comparisons with Spain's territorial claim to Gibraltar.[30] In both cases, the national governments and local populations of the disputed territories reject these claims by a large majority.[31] The Spanish position states that both Ceuta and Melilla are formative parts of Spain, and that their history does not significantly diverge from that of other cities of Spanish Spain, whereas Gibraltar, being a British Overseas Territory, is not and never has been part of the United Kingdom

Thought not.

I didn't. I considered the EU to be a failing construct, and came to the conclusion that we would be better off out of it when it finally does go to tulip.

The fact that Brexit will accelerate that process is just a nice bonus.

We seem to be doing quite well avoiding the caliphate so far. Unlike our European chums.

Mmmm, 490 million for passports but no 350 million for the NHS, someone's priorities are a bit askew...
