The Gibraltar Government reacted to the outcome of the meeting between the British and Spanish foreign ministers on Tuesday in London saying that it is pleased that “it is recognised and accepted by all parties that only Gibraltar has the jurisdictional competence to deal with the issues that arise in respect of the on-going breaches of the Nature Protection Act in British Gibraltar Territorial Waters.” Read full article

    This article is not quite accurate. The “fishermen” from Algeciras, prompted by their PP puppetmasters, don't want discussions. Neither does Garcia-Margallo. Margallo would like to march or sail triumphantly into Gibraltar. Because he's a PP “populist”, i.e. fascist. Anywhere else in the world into “populism”? Oh yeah, the hag in argieland. But no doubt Hague told him that, unless he wanted to see the Royal Navy, the British Army and the Royal Air Force arrive in force, he should “keep quiet”. Watch out for what he comes out with once he's back in Spain and thinks he's “safe”.

    The people of Gibraltar are British. They want to remain British. They will remain British for as long as they wish. And they will continue to occupy their land and their waters. And any Spaniard, or descendant thereof, that thinks differently should buy themselves combat armour, water-wings or both.

    if the Spanish closed the border or port, you must remember all the British living in Spain and visiting tourist that can basically destroy Spain economy

    @1

    You are wrongly assuming Argentina wants to have relations with the UK. We don't.

    Spain may want to, thus try to work things out with you.

    5 The issue is not against the British living in Spain, it is against the “LLanitos”. The British that I know living in Spain have never visited Gibraltar and do not care a s***** about Gibraltar they are living a good life in Spain!!!

    @4 Yeah, let's close the border. And turn Algeciras' fishing fleet into matchwood.
    @6 And who gives a sh*te about Spain? Spain: indistinguishable from argieland. Sh*te!
    @7 The “issue” is sub-human Latinos.

    @tobias

    The feeling is mutual - we would be quite happy for Argentina to leave us alone and never talk to us ever again.

    Then we would'nt have to put up with all the lies, distortion, threats and aggression that your lot generate.
