Spain should cooperate and coordinate with law enforcement and military assets in Gibraltar through “consensual dialogue” to avoid high-risk, potentially fatal situations at sea, Lieutenant General Edward Davis has said.

The Governor of Gibraltar and Commander in Chief was speaking in the wake of last week’s “provocative and unacceptable” incursion in which the Spanish Navy corvette Infanta Elena risked collision with a Royal Navy patrol boat.

In his first interview since being sworn in as Governor, Lt Gen Davis said Britain had “absolute confidence” in Gibraltar’s “irrefutable legal and moral authority” over its sea, land and airspace.

I read today the first mention of Gibralter in the context of BREXIT and I thought that the tone was just about right. If the current lunatic acting foreign minister should retain office I do think that the frontier would be walled off immediately when the ink dries on the leaving certificate.Gib would survive as it always does but heaven help the workers on the other side. Cadiz is already the poorest Province with the highest unemployment rate but that would not turn a hair for the Francoist at the foreign office.
