Simply rush through devolution in Gibraltar, accept into union.
What's the modern equivalent of "Up yours, Delors"? |
So you want to rush through devolution (even though Gibraltar is already self-governing) AND accept Gibraltar into the Union?
How's that work then? |  |

Is this the mighty EU army by any chance? Not really that convinced we've much to fear on that score. |
All be over by Christmas? Like all.our other continental wars. |  |

Contradictory policy on the hoof.
Most unlike a Tory. | |

Utterly ridiculous.
If the EU push this they will get their "hard Brexit"...the same fecking idiots who would rather side with Spain than their own country over Gibraltar will continue to make out that such an outcome will be all Theresa May's fault...when the citizens of the EU realise that their livelihoods are being sacrificed on the altar of a corrupt elite's political project, that is when the real FUN will start. |  |

Too late at night for me to be arsed to do so, but it might be an interesting exercise to look at previous EU articles and treaties pertaining to Gibraltar. Wouldn't surprise me if EU acted contrary to previous articles / treaties - which could be an interesting legal issue. | |

That's my point, if we are not going to war anytime soon, why is Gibraltar important strategically or militarily?
I understand it was important in 1805 and in 1942, but now?
If the Spanish simply close the land border, then it becomes economically insignificant as well. |
It's down to international waters. There is only 7.7 miles between Gibraltar and Morocco. Small enough for both Spain and Morocco to claim them as their own, effectively cutting off access to the Med for both UK and US navy's.  |  |

The good people of Gibraltar voted 99% to 1% to conclusively reject Spanish sovereignty although it was probably the old thick poor racists who didn't know what they were voting for. |  |

The EU at Brussels is out to make an example of us leaving...how dare we have a mind of our own and decide to go our own way...
Gibraltar<Northern Ireland and even Cyprus (next up our bases there) will be used as bargaining pawns to make sure they squeeze every last drop of cash out of us and put off any other countries from following suit. Hard bargaining indeed. They want £60 billion off us before we even start trade negotiations.
The bastards. |  |

Tit for Tat Rosenkrieg vorbei. May would have done better to take a conciliatory approach instead of using people and security as bargaining chips. Arrogance. Not good. [Post edited 1 Apr 2017 0:06]

No we wont. And as Spain will have full EU backing then its our sorry backside that might getting the kicking.
I feel sorry for the people of Gib who voted 90 per cent to remain.
Completely sold out by the old English types who voted leave. Feckwits. |
I had always been disgusted at the way that successive UK governments had let Spain treat Gibraltar.
However as the good old citizens of Gibralter voted massively in favour of the Lib Dems in the last Euro elections and massively in favour of staying in the EU.
They can cop for what they voted for in my opinion, more integration into Spain.
I'm sure that The Spanish will be more than touch cheesed off as we ban their trawlers from our newly reclaimed fishing grounds and hand them back to the British fishing fleet ( not that I trust May or the tories an inch in protecting the UK's rights) [Post edited 1 Apr 2017 0:12]

Very sad. The Gibraltarians and the rest of Brits in general
cannot expect anything good from Spain in this issue. Spain has an absurd and unhealthy obsession with Gibraltar and will use this to make life difficult for the gibraltarians at the first opportunity.
The contempt of Spain to the democratic will of Gibraltarians to remain British is incredible. Well, is incredible for anyone who does not know the little respect of Spain towards the democratic will of the people ... | |

Gib will never be given up. We'd go to war with them before that happens and a war against Spain would last all of 5 minutes |
We could easily muster up a firm and do them on the streets of Córdoba. |  |

I certainly wouldn't call Spain's views on Gibraltar absurd. Simple geography shows that it is part of the Iberian peninsula.
If the situation was reversed and a foreign power controlled a key part of Britain, such as dover or Pembroke dock, I'm certain we would look at any opportunity to get it back.
Self determination, as always, should be the deciding factor, it's just outside the EU Spain has the chance to make life very difficult for Gibraltar. | |

Nah, we'd put up more of a fight than that.
I'd say 10 minutes. |  | | |

Maybe not. | |

Anyone on here thinking that Gibraltar is of no strategic importance to the UK is, at best, short-termist. |  |

F uck strategic importance, the only thing that matters or should matter is that the people of Gibraltar almost universally want to stay British and don't want to be handed over to Spain. | |
