Typical political double speak.

The UK electorate will decide what happens .
The views of Gibraltar are meaningless unless the UK is going to change its status to that of an independent nation that can apply to join the EU.
What are the chances of that ?

Survey ship incursion ‘unacceptable’ - Lidington

Britain’s Minister for Europe David Lidington has described as “unacceptable” the recent unlawful incursion by a Spanish state vessel into British Gibraltar waters.

The incursion on July 3 saw a Royal Navy speedboat receive a blow from a heavy oceanographic probe as it tried to prevent a Spanish survey ship from taking readings in British waters.

Baroness Anelay of St Johns, a Conservative Peer, replied: “From June 1 to July 8, the British Government has sent five diplomatic protests by Note Verbale to the Government of Spain concerning 55 unlawful incursions by Spanish State vessels into British Gibraltar Territorial Waters.

Judging by the quality of your and many others recent posts there will not be many spare seats on that bus.

One thing you can be sure of they were certainly not British and their descendents have a better claim to the rock.

'Quality' is subjective, especially in your case. But one man's rubbish is another man's gold. Unfortunately, offering rubbish as 'gold' inevitably turns people against you, even if you want to believe it's gold. It's unfair, isn't it?

On that note, has it ever occurred to you why there are 6,999,999,999 ignorant 'flat earthers' in the world? Perhaps everyone isn't as ignorant as you would like to believe?

In your opinion, fortunately facts more than often contradict you.
By the way the chan family in Shanghai are on my side so your impressive numbers like most of your facts are questionable.
Obviously neither of us has anything better to do,I am off to buy some lunch.

When was last time you offered any fact to support your opinions? Really, tell me. I'm sure others would like to know too.

You are rather legendary for evading facts in your arguments, so how can you claim the 'facts' contradict mine? You never offer any. We're always supposed to take your word for it, even when irrefutable factual evidence is 180 degrees contrary to your word.

Please explain that.

Offering another opinion as supporting evidence of your contradicting opinion of something I never said is not offering supporting facts, nor does it indicate when the last time you did offer factual evidence. It is in fact, a diversion, nothing more.

I didn't ask for another dodgy strawman argument. I asked when was the last time you provided and factual evidence to support your opinions.

Can you answer that?

Can't be doing that.
Not genuine proven facts surely.

It would blast all his opinions away to kingdom come and that would never do. :lol:
