Hypocrite. It must be in the genes.
The FI and Gibraltar have much in common, both have extremely successful economies with a high GDP, both want to maintain links with the UK, and both are geographically next to a jealous, bankrupt, colonial, Spanish speaking country!

Ye separate to the reasons listed in the linked article I would add several of my own to explain the Spanish sabre rattling, 3 come to mind...
- To divert public attention away from Spains failing economy
- To try and make the UK look colonial (Encouraged by CFK, Spain are effectively jumping on the RG bandwagon)
- Discourage Catalonian independence (try and unite Spain behind a common cause)
just my opinion feel free to debate.
No debate Steve I think you are spot on mate

Aug 07th, 2013 - 05:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Some of my friends emailed me and said I couldn't get them for three weeks as they were going on holiday to Spain and seemed rather put out when I suggested that they could have gone to Portugal instead. These are professional people as well.
