Gibraltar - two questions

1) No
2) Yes

I've been to Gibraltar once. The cable car and the monkeys were fun, but apart from that, it was one of the most depressing, soul-less places I've ever visited.

blackpool rock

give Palestine back? but keep Gibraltar?

who's closer Spain or the UK?

why did we give back .... India? China? Hong Kong? all the other territories.

keeping the diddy patches... little islands of little note.

Hong Kong wasn't ours to give back, we had it on a 99 year lease which ran out.

India was ours? China?

Monty Python.... our brave soldiers, fighting to make China British ?

I used to travel to Gib a lot with work - an absolute toilet of a place, reminded me of the 1970's

very popular with chav families who were attracted by the cheap booze and even cheaper **** (£1.20 a pack)

In summer the place was rammed with obese sunburnt scots eating egg&chips three times a day and drinking and smoking themselves to death

How reprehensible.
Of course they want to remain British so the leftists won`t like that.

i would pay spain to take gibraltar back nothing there as for tax free theres a betting shop there still stops tax all electrical are much more then in england t.v there £800 over here £500 TO £600 GIBRALTAR a very boring placE

I can`t think of anything wrong with the place. They leave us alone.

Iwouldn`t mind getting rid of Scotland, even N. Ireland if they are stupid enough.
And making it the United Kingdom of England, Wales and Gibraltar

Spain can't afford the land it has already, we could probably take the Costa Del Sol as well if it wasn't for the Germans

very true, if we are going to send our military to war this is the right thing to do, forget about those middle east **********

The place might well be a toilet to live in. I have no idea. But there's no way that the US is going to let excitable Spaniards get their hands on all that surveillance hardware. Nothing goes in or out of the Med without us (and by extension the US) knowing, and I can't see anything being allowed to jeopardize that.

Gib is a dump. But-Strategically it controls the entrance to the Med as anyone who has cruised through the Straits knows. Cannot give it up. Spain's economy is in tatters- if you are brave you can buy a reasonable 2 bed house not far from the sea with great views for 80 k euros. If Spain starts anything, just stop imports of Seat cars and all other Spanish stuff and ban holidays there. They need us more than we need them. How many Spanish holiday in the UK compared to Brits holidaying in Spain and its islands? Nuff said.

Don't need military to invade Spain, just leave it to tourists. Place is awash with John Smiths, fry up's, roast dinners ( with all the trimmings) and if you speak Spanish no one understands a f00kin word you're saying.

Cant understand what it has to do with anything in the first place.Didnt think voting was to hand territory to another country
but i suppose we need somewhere to park the nuclear submarines when the independence vote hands power to Jimmy.

Would today's British Left support Spain in any (unlikely) military conflict with Britain over Gibraltar? 

Some of them even now make wistful noises about the return of what they like to call "The Malvinas".

I concur.

Gib is for the Gibraltarians to decide.

Meanwhile, she's ours.

Meanwhile 99% of Brits couldn't give a toss.

gibraltar probably opt for the cheap labour....and they do have border crossings

can't imagine prince charles shedding a tear like he did when giving back hong kong to the chinese

Give it back imo, it's nailed onto the mainland ffs. We could coerce a long lease of the naval base out of em at a cheap rate, if we really need it.

even if we wanted to the USA would not allow us to go to war with Spain

saddo

That criteria would give them a claim to Portugal. Don't think they'd be happy.

Argies burning British flags so we going to war with Argie and Spain

Spain is a friend of America ?

Argentina has at least one Useful Idiot friend in the UK, and right now I'm guessing he might be planning what he can say to offer support and encouragement to Spain as well as the Argies.

FFS! Does anyone expect anything less from Corbyn and the Grauniad. Both hate Britain and the British way of life.

Here's a Guardian reader for you Alun.

We all know whose side Corbyn, Abbott and the Guardian would be on - not the poor geezer who kissed his girlfriend on the forehead that's for sure.

Spain is a friend of America ?

They currently have a difference of opinion regarding the Spanish speakers on America's southern border.

But-Strategically it controls the entrance to the Med as anyone who has cruised through the Straits knows. Cannot give it up.

This is the truth , we'll never give up the Rock of Gibralter as it's a key Vantage point in case of any war !

Do Spain even have an Army .. do they all eat three eggs for breakfast ..

Funny I was looking at Spanish property recently & prices compare very closely to the West midlands .. like for like .. and that's where I'd rather stay

Lfc proving he's a pecker yet again
