    Enjoy.
    Good point - am sure they are working on an agreement as would be impossible to stick to this.

      They are. There are still some sticking points but a deal seems close. This will enable free movement across the border with Spain.

        According to this, not too dissimilar to Oxford or Guildford.

          imagine that a deal...

            Yeah but it's not a deal you'd ever want.

            Gib voted 95% in the referendum to stay in the EU and they're pretty flexible, when it comes to sovereignty, if it means securing free movement etc. It's the UK Govt, doing the negotiating, who aren't that amenable.

              Funny that the deal doesn't suit the Gibraltans perfectly and its just so unfair, of course they are free to get ruled by Spain. Vote for it, you may like it.

                I'm sure the Gibraltarians will end up with a deal they're more than happy with. Still in the UK with EU benefits.
