Spain has “not taken one step back” regarding its Gibraltar policy, rather the contrary
The Spanish Government has “not taken any step back” in relation to its Gibraltar policy “but it has taken many steps forward”, the country’s foreign minister Jose Manuel Garcia Margallo has declared. Despite the issue having dropped profile in the news since recent weeks, it is an issue “permanently” on the Spanish agenda, the Spanish official told Onda Cero radio. Read full article

I agree with you but we have taught them to be BRITISH, incidently the language in GIB is predominantly English although most are bi-lingual.
Small points. Spain, like argieland, is a midge. Like argieland, it's also a midget. There are some options with midgets and midges. They can be ignored. They can be swatted. They can be crushed.
Jan 26th, 2014 - 03:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@2 Oh yes. Shouldn't have forgotten that. “Latino” is an Americanism. Don't use that in Europe. Amazingly, 27% of the Gibraltar population are of British origin. But 98.48% of the population voted AGAINST spanish sovereignty. Do you want to call that 70% of Latins preferring to be British? Wonder if it would be worth offering spaniards an opportunity for Britain to take over their “country”?
I would have though that 26% unemployment would on their minds more than an outcrop of rock.

Together, Gibraltarians of Spanish origin are one of the bigger groups (more than 24% according to last names, even more taking into account the fact that a larger share of Spanish women married native Gibraltarians).
About 10% of last names in Gibraltar have Portuguese origin.

You lose horribly, dont fight it, just leave.
The Spanish people must be rather naïve if they believe what their politicians are saying about Gibraltar especially when they come out with rubbish like:
Jan 26th, 2014 - 04:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0(I) Gibraltar has no territorial waters because none were ceded by Utrecht
(II)the Isthmus was never ceded and Spain has a claim on it
(III) Gibraltarians do not have the right to self-determination because there is a territorial dispute with Spain and Article X of Utrecht states that Gibraltar will be returned to Spain if Britain ever gives up its possession
Facts are:
(I) UNCLOS ceded UK/Gibraltar territorial waters and one country CANNOT delimit another's territorial waters without consent (ICJ Gulf of Main Judgement). Spain's declaration when signing UNCLOS in respect of limiting Gibraltar's territorial waters is irrelevant - (ICJ Black Sea case) - Romania made similar declarations and statements regarding fisheries, security and uninhabited islands which were all ignored by the ICJ.
(II) Gibraltar's Isthmus was part of an old southern neutral ground; La Linea is situated in the old northern part of the neutral ground. Spain and the UK have both signed the 1975 Helsinki Accord which recognises the inviolability of frontiers - part 1v - The participating state will respect the territorial integrity of each of the participating states. Spain along with other countries made declarations and the final draft of the Accord was altered to read, 'frontiers will not change without agreement.'
(III) Two UN ICJ Advisory Opinions have been made that confirm, 'that the right to self-determination is applicable to ALL non-self-governing territories. In 2008 the UN Fourth Committee rejected the claim that a dispute over sovereignty affected self-determination, affirming it to be a basic human right. Also, any International Lawyer would tell you that a Treaty that was signed in 1713 which debarred Jews and Moors from Gibraltar could not seriously be used in 2014 to restrict the rights of people of Gibraltar.

The trouble with Spain,
Jan 26th, 2014 - 07:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Is that its collapsing at such an alarming rate that it fears its very own destruction?
So by diverting attention from their corruption, incompetence and irresponsibility
It uses Gibraltar as a ping pong ball,
It abuses all the treaties and agreements it signed to justify its position,
Because the unmighty EU sits back and ignores it, Spain thinks it can use Gibraltar and Britain’s apparent weakness to get what it wants,
But if you consider the long term objectives of the EU,
One wonders why Spain even bothers
Germany stated yesterday that the events in Africa was one reason that European countries will need to alginate into one block,
Into one European navy, air force , etc for European interests,
So if a future scenario was to come true, what then would be the outcome?
1, Britain votes to pull out and Gibraltar comes with us, would not the border be closed, as Gibraltar being British would now be foreign territory, and the Britain would have to maintain a permanent navy presents, planes perhaps and soldiers, [ possibly ]
2,
Britain leaves the EU, and Gibraltar stays,
At first a single unit, but almost certain a future EU state, thus Spain would then lose it anyway, as Spain also would be part of a USEU, United states of Europe. [Unless Spain withdrew ]
3, or Britain stayed and become part of the EU permanently and Gibraltar stays, then [2] would be the same,
Either way Spain cannot possibly get its hands on Gibraltar [ever] unless it was willing to use force,
So why bother with all this immature childish petty antics,
Unless it was using Gibraltar as a cover up, to its own incompetence , corrupt , government trying to hang on to power by its finger nails,
Just a thought....mm

Hello everyone,
Jan 27th, 2014 - 03:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It may well be true that small number of Gibraltarians, SPANIARDS and other nationals are using the Crown Colony as a base for an illicit cigarette trade. However, in my worldwide experience, smuggling occurs wherever there are customs frontiers. Nevertheless, I hear no Spanish government protestations over contraband of Spain’s booze products, et cetera INTO Portugal (which imposes a much greater tax on alcoholic beverages than that levied in Spain) Nor do those who are now running Spain (who’re mainly the first-generation, neo-Fascist offspring of the remnants Franco’s totalitarian regime) complain of the illegal export into Spain, of luxury goods and tobacco from Andorra.
However, as usual, in the present case, I note a few of you have abandoned logic in favour childish, thoughtless hysteria –it’s a good thing that Nelson, Wellington, et al didn’t have rely on some of the self aggrandising, arrogant, self-confessed Britons who Post here! And it’s no wonder that those Brit’s who utter such blatantly racists remarks on these pages, do so anonymously, for they are in clear breach of U.K. legislation!!!! Remember that Latinos are often wonderful artists and fine footballers, t...
Although apparently missed by so many readers, the REALLY important point here is THIS:
“On the tripartite (UK, Spain, Gibraltar) forum García-Margallo said that this was now “closed” and restated that it was NOT “ADMISSIBLE” TO ALLOW GIBRALTAR SIT AT TALKS WITH THE SAME STATUS AND CONDITIONS AS UK OR SPAIN.”
A typical dyed-in-the-wool Fascist’s method of dealing with those whom he considers inferior, of NO CONSEQUENCE and therefore unable to retaliate –ie: The Llanitos...

If the people in the Spanish border town La Linea (de la Concepción) were allowed to vote in the referendum and to follow its result, you can raise the result to 99.6% and the Spanish border would move up to north of E-15.

Jeez, Paul has been told time and again, that the average Brit in the UK is a mongrel, but viveza criolla Paul is too dense to understand.
Commencing about thirty thousand years ago, Great Britain has been populated by umpteen different peoples, after the Celts, Britons, Gaels, Romans, Jutes, Anglo-Saxons, Danes, Norwegians, French, etc., also by immigrants from the former colonies.

It’s true that most people, including the Spaniards, enjoy having a bit of fun.
However given Spain’s present and now long-term, extraordinarily bad unemployment and food price inflation figures, few Spaniards have the desire and much less, the cash, to even contemplate incurring any strictly unessential expenditure, whatsoever. And to describe the current Spanish public mood as other than PESSIMISTICALLY SOMBRE –even BITTERLY ANGRY, is about as far from the truth as one could wander.
Meanwhile, in a futile, diversionary attempt to ‘blame the bloody foreigners’, the Madrid govt. continues to bugger-about over Gibraltar...
Si if you reckon so much to your AUSSIE SUNSHINE, why not bugger-off back to your beloved antipodes and give us all a rest from your bleedin’ nonsense?

Of course we are. The first Homo Sapiens –from whom we ALL descend– were black people who originated in what is now the Ethiopia/Kenya region of Africa. Later, those very people spread throughout the entire world.
I should think that any educated, reasonably-minded Argentinean would have absolutely no difficulty in comprehending the concept of colonialism. Or are YOU a member of ‘The Flat Earth Society’ or of one those pseudo-religious sects who’s members moronically engage in the constant denial of rigorously proven, scientific and historical facts? Nor do you remember how –in the late 19th century, Argentinean settlers would regularly form hunting parties– TO KILL NATIVE INDIANS???
So given the impossibility of the human race’s ever returning to it’s initial prehistoric habitats, the best deal we have –imperfect as it may be– is the due observance of INTERNATIONALLY AGREED legislation. However, I detect a distinct lack of desire on the part of both Argentinean and Spanish authorities, to take their respective claims to international litigation.
Both Gibraltar and the Falklands have had established socio-cultural and legal structures longer than has Argentina and it’s not established that the Falklands were EVER a part of Argentina.
The legality of Spain’s claim to Gibraltar is extremely tenuous to say the least –presumably that’s why neither the Madrid nor the B.A. govt. dares to make the claim in the appropriate COURT OF LAW preferring to use ‘Colonialism’ to vociferously propagandized their respective populaces, in the hope of creating a distraction from the disastrous consequences of so many years’ of GREEDY, BIG MULTINATIONAL BANK mismanagement.
NEVER TRUST POLITICIANS of any colour, creed, race, stripe or persuasion. Theirs is the ART OF THE POSSIBLE, NOTHING MORE!

Maybe Spains legal claim is tenuous, of course being that that claim would involve changing the status-quo of a country's people is really not going to help.
That would be a new one - telling a country it involuntarily switched nationality overnight cause a court says so.
(not that the half witted jingoists in here didn't already know that)
Courts are a part of reality, not the other way round.
And I don't propose that Spain should outright own Gibraltar anyway.
Im happy to keep my flat earth in the modern era.
Its the modern era and moral justice you should be thinking about, and political realities (especially if you live on the colonized rock ).
Would you feel you had the moral high-ground if you were Spanish ?
People coming from over the waves taking part of your country and planting settlers on it.
I think its a pretty straight forward moral question by itself. If you'd dare ask yourself.
And fairly simple still even if the present day factors and historic context are added in too.
But some just want to be righteously stubborn.
