Gibralter

I know it probably grates a bit that a tiny part of their country was taken and still held by Britain going on for something like 300 years but wtf is Spain thinking about trying to bully the occupants there?

You think the penny might have dropped by now that the residents of Gibraltar don't want to be a part of Spain the way they have been treated over the years - Franco and fascism, in my parents time and a bankrupt country in mine - so you would have thought they might have tried going down the trying to win the hearts and minds route instead.

Oh no! State bullying it is now -

Is it any wonder that every time the country votes on self determination they vote no to joining Spain!

Even the Gibraltar monkeys seem to be smarter than the Spanish are at being loved by the locals!

It's ages since we've had a war with Spain, it's time that it happened again.

I mean we already invade the Costa's every year anyway and I'm sick of the Scottish Languostine's being exported to Spain. I like langoustine's.

We need to eat more seafood in this country and an invasion of Spain would help with that.

Bloody dagos.

 Could be the solution to unemployment in both countries

Pathetic hypocritical Spain. Trying to divert attention from their own domestic mess by creating a fuss about something else, just like Argentina and the Falklands. In some ways it's worse with Spain. They occupy two bits of land in Morocco, Ceuta and Melilla, which they don't seem very keen to hand back to Morocco.

Lived there for a bit. Can't remember it though.

Beat me to it!

Falklands Mk II. They have problems at home with unemployment etc. so lets whip up a bit of national fervour so the Brits take the heat. OK no problem with that, lets all book our holidays in Portugal instead, wankers.

Surprised they want to hang on to Ceuta. Been there it's a dump!
