Spain be aware, when the British are pressured to return stolen land anywhere in the globe they turn it into a protected area, last act of desperation.

Chagos and South Georgia islands(Argentina) new “Marine Reserve” is a perfect example of that.

So if you sign over land to me, I've stolen it? You really are an idiot. The UK has had this land longer than Spain ever did and they signed completely and legally over for EVER. What part of this is not clear?

When have apart from when they invaded South Georgia have Argentina ever hac a claim on South Georgia ..evidence please

Last time i looked Chagos is a vast US Military base with 10 UK Military based as admin.

Gibraltar has two small patrol boats (pretty similar in size to the RG Navy) no RAF planes are stationed and no garrison apart from a small defense force, hardly a military fortress. Get your facts right troll.

@3: Don't bother asking about South Georgia or the Sandwich islands, they never answer why they clam them, they just come back with some nonsensical blatherings about British imperialist ambitions without spotting the irony of the accusations.

@7 Argieland and Spain. Two 17th century, belligerent, creepy, corrupt, cowardly, genocidal, ignorant, law-breaking, mendacious, necrophiliac, pathetic, mongrel countries. What is needed is to wipe every latino population off the face of the planet. Or, if that's too much, turn them into slaves. Subject to the bastinado, the cane, the lash, torture, summary execution, the garotte. Particularly the garotte! I like the idea of garrotting argies and spaniards. They are the scum of the earth and don't deserve life!

@7 The Spanish and Argentine governments don't represent every other nation on Earth, so that's 'a little' misleading.
