Thanks I have been trying unsuccessfully to correct that link

As predicted, I see Gib is now about to import it's rocks from Marruecos, money that would have been going into Spanish pockets! Still, they don't need the business, unemployment is only around 35% across the border.

Of course, this was whipped up because Rajoy was caught with his hands in the till, and they wanted a distraction.

I hear that things in La Linea have got a lot worse, with trade well down. The phrase that springs to mind involves noses, faces and spite.

In the closed frontier days many products and of course labour came from Morocco, this ceased due to the convenience of Spain next door.

I hope we re-establish those links

Perhaps they should consider buying the Moroccan fruit and veg too. Lots on sale her in the UK now. Tomatoes etc. and the beat the Spanish on quality and price.

should that be the beet or they beat


and remember that the Spanish agri industry have no control over the price people pay for goods in your UK shops, especially if they are being used as a loss leader to get people into the shops

Police arrested a gang of Spanish tobacco smugglers who allegedly used a van parked on Queensway as a mobile workshop in which they stuffed car wheels full of cigarette packets.

thats OK Jacky
what happened to the secretary ?? She seemed to know where the spell check button is on this site

EMR

Are the Gib police also going to investigate all the shops etc in Gib who sell large quantities to smugglers as reported by the BBC a few months ago.??

jimenato

The Gibraltar authorities continually arrest people with huge numbers of cigs on them. I wouldn't mind betting that the shops sell the cigs and then give the cops a call.

What is most lamentable is that these 8000 are prepared to suffer and endure these queues on a daily basis without storming these few Civil Guards who are responsible and under orders to create such queues. People who have no guts are doomed to suffer and die without dignity.
