On the contrary its a Spanish plot to make many Brits living in Spain, actually wake up and realise that there is another country out there and that there is more to life than UK bars and UK TV.

" Hate Gibraltar " what a childish statement, when it comes to hate statements JT you are up the with the best or worst of some on this forum ,among your many classics is your latest regarding the Roma community.

I will repeat whatI have posted many times.when Gib accepts all the rules and regs of being part of the UK instead of picking what it wants then I will regard it as part of the UK.
Until then it is just a hangover of empire run by those with economic self interests in NOT being a part of the UK.
JT get you facts right GIB is NOT, REPEAT NOT, part of the UK. it is a self governing overseas territory.

Still linked to the UK and 99% of the population want to remain so until they get independence.

Why have I got visions of a straitjacket and a padded room???

I have visions of a home for dementia with the use of the same old words. The dears get on one track unless they are distracted

Right Fred and others, I agree with you 100%.

Have a vote in Gib, the inhabitants giving up their self governing status. become a UK parliamentary constituency with its own MP.
Ruled from Whitehall and subject to all UK laws and tax rules etc.

Oh I forget Turkeys do not vote for christmas.

in polite society isn't that called spamming - especially when self admitted


there's never a moderator around when you want one

nope because they don't have names so can't be on the electoral roll
but then nor are expats 15 years after leaving the motherland.

Protestors urge cross-border workers to ‘stand up for your rights’

Around 500 demonstrators gathered on the Spanish side of the border yesterday evening to clamour for an end to intense Spanish controls and lengthy queues.

This was the second demonstration in as many months organised by NGOs and individuals from Gibraltar and Spain under the banner ‘For a Humanitarian Frontier’.

Nuria Gomez, a Spanish woman who works in Gibraltar, spoke of her frustration every time that she was caught up in a queue.

To applause from the crowd, she called for unity between the people of La Linea and Gibraltar and not for hatred.

The message from the podium was international at times.
