Is that jebel somewhere in the lake district? probably bought by the Emirates.

I assume that Spain would take it for granted that their enclaves etc are
included.

MEPs now back new rules on the development of a "Single European Sky", designed to harmonise air traffic control. MEPs have backed a controversial amendment - by 355 votes to 260 - that would continue to exclude Gibraltar from EU airspace. A number of UK MEPs indicated during yesterday's debate that they would vote against the proposals as a whole if that amendment was passed.

Are you seriously trying to say that the Spanish are going to convince the 27 other nations of the EU (one of whom is Britain) to include the clause 'but not Gibraltar' in any sort of European legislation whatsoever ?

They already have done

Whether or not that will continue remains to be seen.

But as above the MEP's have voted 355 to 260 in favour of excluding Gibraltar

Was the motion put to them to EXCLUDE or was it to INCLUDE .
Was it an motion to amend the bill or NOT.
Which was it ???

ROSINDELL COMPLAINS OVER COMMONWEALTH MAP EXCLUSION

From the laugh-a-minute Gibraltar Beano -

Andrew Rosindell MP has complained to the British Council over a world map for a booklet for the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games in that “Gibraltar does not appear on the map at all, but if it can be seen, it looks like being a part of the Kingdom of Spain.”

I don't know if this is the map, or if it is the same size as in the booklet but it does show he has a point.

Are you the new Lord Haw Haw

Have they sent you to defend Gibraltar while the Royal Gibraltar Regiment is on holiday in Wales ?



Congratulations on your 8,000th post, by the way.

Pathetic, isn't it ?

Obviously carrying a chip on his shoulder bigger than the rock itself.

Probably never even have the bottle to tell us all why, though I can't really say I'd ever wish to share his so obvious pain and frustration at the ongoing Gib success story.

Gibraltar has a Socialist Labour Government led by First Minister Fabian Picardo.

It also has an opposition led by David Feetham.

The Gibraltar Chronicle that MR Fredbargate incessantly feeds you articles from - is a Government newspaper. Please bear it in mind.

To prove my point here is an article from their comments page on the web, slamming the opposition.

All criticism of anything to do with Gibraltar on this thread therefore MUST be suppressed !

Isn't that right Mr Dick Democracy ?

it is probably just that

can't abide other people having success when he hasn't got any
also can't abide the thought that some posters on this thread have actually been there

perhaps if we knock the chip off the shoulder then Gib can use it in making the reef for the poor little fish to breed in safety

On going success story, with cross border tourism in the toilets ??

are so now we know why you always keep a plastic shopping bag in the pocket of your brown mac.

You don’t understand do you ? I am trying to save Gibraltar !

As I replied to Jackytoo in post #815 –

“Is this the UK we all know and love, and where the exercise of free speech to question the stewardship of our most prized possession in the Mediterranean, namely Gibraltar, by the bunch of Bennys inhabiting it, leads to the suspicion that one does not love one’s country?”

First Minister of Gibraltar, Fabian Picardo, has said he wants the Royal Navy to kill Spanish fishermen entering Gibraltar waters as suspected terrorists – by-passing No. 10 and the Admiralty - for which the bollock-brain was dragged back to Whitehall for a dressing down by a Junior Minister in the Foreign Office.

Besides the irritation that European fishermen will ensure that you couldn’t get a ferry from Britain to the Continent for a generation, can you imagine the other consequences of machine-gunning European fishermen in European waters ?

Europe and the Rest of the World would be appalled. We would be out of court with Nato, the US, EU and the UN and any other combination of letters you like to put together.

Spain would therefore have carte blanche to enter Gibraltar to restore law and order in the riot-torn town.

Britain would warn of “consequences” and sanctions. Nobody else would lift a finger – look to what is happening in the Ukraine.

If negotiations to return Gibraltar back to British jurisdiction took place right away, I estimate that they would successfully conclude twenty minutes before Hell froze over.

And, Domino, where would the San Carlos landings take place to regain the Rock ? Eastern Beach ? Benidorm ? Portugal ?

I’m asking questions about what is going on in Gibraltar. So should you.

And just so’s you all know – I know Gibraltar very, very well.

The Rock is British and must remain that way.
