    No new information here. One minute Spain is making threats, the next minute they are fearful of breakdown in relations with the UK. The UK is just watching and waiting to see what they do.
    Once again we still only have rhetoric from Spain and the UK won't act in rhetoric.

    Cameron/Picardo should be speaking with a co-ordinated voice.

    Perhaps saying that any incursion or armed attack on the Rock or its people would be met with the temporary bomblet peppering of coastal airfield runways (with suitable warning beforehand, of course).
    After all, we don't want to physically hurt people
    ... just cripple the tourist industry.

    How can there be a discussion about a “sovereignty dispute”? The UK does NOT discuss the sovereignty of Gibraltar without the permission of Gibraltar. In reality, Rajoy is in a corner. Margallo is like tinboy. Big mouth, no brain. Rajoy has realised that neither Britain nor Gibraltar will back down. He has to find a way out without losing too much face. Shouldn't be much of a problem when you're two-faced to start with!

    Golly Gosh!
    The caption beneath the photo says.....
    “Meanwhile Chief Minister accused Madrid of setting a “pre-war environment””
    .....I could swear Pigardo has been losing some weight and his hair is a bit lighter!

    “Rajoy’s administration ramped up border checks with the contested territory and vowed to sue Gibraltar officials for environmental damage”

    That's going to be difficult as the blocks are there to conserve the wildlife.

    Why doesn't Lovejoy complain about the reef already there 30 years,made up of sunken ships that has enabled fish and sea life to inhabit an area devoid of it 30 years ago?

    Eventually, one way or another this dispute will probably be settled. So what exactly do you think that your abusive, infantile shit- stirring will accomplish? –other than show your true colours of a thoroughly despicable individual, of course.

    Let’s hope that your vociferous faeces hit the fan and that your verbal excrement blows back to hit you hard in the face!

    Jim, in Madrid.

    Oh dear Jim, now you have gone and upset A_Voice_in_the_wilderness.

    I bet you are quaking in your boots! You just have to laugh at him, he’s so funny.

    CV:
    Never had a real job;
    Lives off dad’s money;
    Must be all of 16 YO and it shows;
    Cannot string a cohesive argument together;
    Thinks he is clever (he’s the ONLY one who does);
    And when he loses the argument, which he always does, he “leaves the building”;
    The problem is, like a bad penny he keeps turning up!

    Now watch and enjoy the puerile and abusive response to this. :o)

    Sorry Mate, but your VOICE is that of a vicious, sexually frustrated Drag Queen and your pernicious utterances are a disgrace to all right-minded people, everywhere.

    At the risk of appearing self-righteous, may I remind you that it’s thanks to the past efforts of ‘ol sods such as yours truly, that you and your verminous ilk enjoy the freedom to spread your viperous venom via the Internet.

    It aint my place to say,, like,
    But until Cameron takes the cuffs of and removes the ball and chain, the seedless one will continue to push his point,

    To him we can do nothing,
    To us, he is a seedless twit in drag with a anti British grudge,

    But as we say in the nest,
    Sooner or later, something has to give..

    Says you.

    In fact, I’m an excessive imbiber of malt beers and fine wines, an inveterate pipe smoker and lifelong vegetarian. If –God forbid– we were come face-to-face, you’d almost certainly be surprised. For my medic tells me that I have the vital statistics of a person half my age.

    So why not crawl back into your filthy little intellectual sewer and wait for someone else to come along whom you think weak enough to cowardly bully with impunity.

    I’m certainly not a WARRIOR of any sort. In fact, EVERYONE whom I know who’ve REALLY FOUGHT IN WAR agrees with my view that no greater disaster can befall mankind and that armed conflict should be undertaken as the very last resort!

    .....“the vital statistics of a person half my age.”
    Now we are getting somewhere, your puppet master is 41?

    .....“my medic tells me”
    .....what nationality did you say you were?

    .....you are fictitious, you make it up as you go along!
    .....your persona has more holes in it than a block of Swiss Cheese

    I tell you what.....how about you just make up lots of stuff and I'll just believe you....does that suit you?.....Suit you Sir?

    I’m tired of wasting my time with witless w*nkers, so this is my last comment.
    To be believed you should tell EVERYONE EXACTLY WHO AND WHERE YOU ARE and give us all a chance at least half a chance to check your credentials –not that it’s impossible for me to do so already, by the way. However, given your known record as not only as a hardcore bully but as a presumptive speculator too, it’s hardly worth the hassle.
    As long as you choose to remain anonymous, your puerile prattling will have will have less validity than that of malodorous flatulence.

    I'm Jim Handley in Madrid
    I'm Michael Mouse in Florida
    I'm Tom Tom the Pipers son in England
    Doctor Foster from Gloucester
    I'm Spock from Vulcan
    Shall I go on?......How stupid and baseless was your ridiculous statement!.....
    “To be believed you should tell EVERYONE EXACTLY WHO AND WHERE YOU ARE ”
    Jim in Madrid......I believe I believe...........not!

    What about “Fearless Felix in Fantasyland”?

    Seriously...

    Fair enough. You win. I’m making a tactical withdrawal! Perhaps my niece –a consultant psychiatric who treats the criminally insane– could handle your obviously complex case. But I certainty can’t.

    Goodbye!

    Words gentlemen, just words,

    Apparently Portugal has a claim on parts of Spain , ,

    Apparently, according to secret papers drawn up by CFK,
    That if Argentina ever got the Falkland’s through illegal means,
    That Argentina could and very well succeed in getting a future claim on Spain,
    Considered by the UN claims committee,

    Thus giving CFK and Argentina a foothold on European soil,
    And membership of and the protection of the EU- and NATO….??????

    Words gentlemen,, just words…
