I think the point is Spain will be allowed to hold Gibraltar to ransom in exchange for giving Scotland a very smooth ride and hence strengthen the support for Scottish independence. A kind of a double whammy.

Just wait before EU demands UK shuts down multiple tax evasion and money laundering offshores that it runs - Isle of Man, BVI, Guernsey etc, that wasn't possible whilst UK was a member, but now that it leaves the gloves will be off.Comment

It has always been unclear to me whether logic or sentiment would prevail in these negotiations (indeed, an important reason for ditching the EU). Obviously, there's a very strong argument for moving beyond the playground, but both sides have, at least, until the German elections to kick each other, and I suspect it will persist until September 2018. The only thing that definitively moves this from the playground sooner than September 2018 would be a victory for Le Pen, which looks very unlikely (and would be a total fecking disaster for all concerned IMHO).Comment

You have to drive through La Linear (sp) which is an absolute armpit, then cross a border (not so straight forwards even in EU) walk across a runway, then it's cramped and quirky. A bit British a bit Spanish, very military. There isn't much there, it's not very pretty, and all in all its just a huge oddity.
Having stood at the top it's not as geographically significant as people make out. It's just very very odd. Would I live there? No way!You're awesome! Get yourself a t-shirt.Comment

Remain said this type of thing would happen, Leave called it scaremongering. Now Leave are saying that it's disgraceful and no one could have seen it coming. The idiots who got us into this mess need to man up and step up to face the responsibility for their actions.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
