That's good - support and affirmation from leading members of the world's most powerful democratic institution. Hooray!

Nice to see Gibraltar's slow and steady approach is working much better than Spain's schizophrenic ranting and ravings.

Also just a quick note. I don't think you can “re-vow”. You can renew vows and reiterate them but I've never heard them being re-vowed

Unnecessary, but improved by supportive statements from another powerful nation.

Probably necessary as Spain will be sensitive about Catalonia.

“I re-vow to thee, my Country”.
Probably wise, since Gustav Holst only Vowed in 1921
- long after Gibraltar's 1579 Treaty of Utrecht established ownership in perpetuity.

I thought the word should be re-avow (haven't got a dictionary handy to check).

At least Britain has got support on this though, now if only someone could get this into TMBOAs thick head.

The UK doesn't need it, but it should show Spain when to shut up if it wants to stay in NATO
