Most of the 1 million UK expat community have paid UK tax at some point of time in their working life but some like me were denied the vote.
The Gibraltains don't pay UK tax so their vote is irrelevant .

No I didn't, you cretin. It is once again apparent why you ended up in the Catering Corps.

They told him he will be part of the mobile unit!

But YOU said that Gibraltar wished to REMAIN in the EU.

This is a moment of British weakness so concessions are being made and Gibraltar is betrayed.

But YOU said that Gibraltar wished to REMAIN in the EU. Looks like they may get their prayers answered by this weak woman that we have ended up with.

Not to worry - JRM and Boris will revive fine British tradition of privateers...

[Old Greg]

Geopolitics. Gibraltar was seized by the British at a moment of British strength. This is a moment of British weakness so concessions are being made and Gibraltar is betrayed. Bad for self determination but that is a consequence of gammonism.

The Spanish p[rime minister could threaten all he wanted. He never had or held any "veto" over the Brexit deal. Yet more clap trap, sensationalist, weak, trashy journalism.

It's tiresome that I have to repeat the obvious to cretins - he got veto about future deal with UK, which will have to be accepted by all member states, all of them will have veto.

Transition will be only 21 months, not 21 years, so in effect Spain got veto over current withdrawal deal, which is why May caved it (again).

Brexit: May gives way over Gibraltar after Spain's 'veto' threat

Theresa May has given way to Madrid’s demands over the future of Gibraltar after the Spanish prime minister threatened to “veto” the Brexit deal due to be signed off by EU leaders on Sunday.

On the eve of Sunday’s special Brexit summit, the British ambassador to the EU, Sir Tim Barrow, wrote to concede that Gibraltar would not necessarily be covered by a future trade deal with the EU.

The move appears to have solved the final issue in the Brexit negotiations. The Spanish leader, Pedro Sánchez, had demanded a written assurance as the price for his support for the withdrawal agreement and accompanying political declaration on the future relationship.
