  ”Caretaker Rajoy is also quoted in the press as having told Downing Street, “Gibraltar is Spanish, regardless of whether there is a Brexit or not.”
  
  So when LEAVE wins you can have a go at taking it back, can't you?
  
  Yeah, that will happen, not.

  Stronger in Europe
  So strong in fact it did not stop Spain from condemning his visit,
  
  Camaro is weak and the sooner we get out the better,
  
  then again they might vote remain and become the best little European ever,
  yes sir no sir,,yes sir no sir,
  
  even with all the abuse and threats and the intimidation we got and are receiving from our so called friens,
  one really has to wonder if we are really the fools to stay,
  
  only Europe can answer that one,
  and Europe will answer it for all of us,
  
  vote leave
  if you wish to remain FREE.

  #2: “Stronger in Europe
  So strong in fact it did not stop Spain from condemning his visit,”
  
  Because the EU is subsidiary to the Member States. You get the institutions you ask for, and the EU itself has little power - just enough to enforce the basic rules - because it reserves the real authority for the Member States.
  
  You could look it up if you wanted to, but you appear to be a brainwashed Kipper who actually believes Boris and Gove, and wants to put them into power. You actually think they will have “British interests” at heart.
  
  51st state is the intention.

  @4. If only that were true. I wonder how the EU gets to make such minute directives? How the ECJ manages to say that member states have handed over sovereignty? How that “citizenship” is of the EU rather than of the actual country? How is it that the EU, in its guise as the European Commission, can demand more money from a member country and FORCE it to pay?
  
  Perhaps it's you that should do some research.
  
  I'll give you a couple of examples to make you THINK. Wasn't it last year that the EC informed Britain that, because of its miraculous recovery from recession and Labour mismanagement, Britain now had to pay more in contributions. There's a long-held proposition that you can't apply a rule or law retrospectively. And, quite recently, it was found that countries like France and Portugal had breached the rules about keeping deficits under control. The guilty countries, according to EU rules, should have been heavily fined. Instead of which a decision on these matters has been “deferred” for two years.
  
  Unfortunately, for you, I am not what you, disrespectfully, call a Kipper. I owe allegiance to no political party. Which goes a considerable way to proving your innate stupidity. I have been against the EU since 1975 when the government indulged in Project Fear Mk 1. I remember the government leaflets describing the soviet tank armies pouring across northern Europe and how much safer we would be if part of a group of countries. As though the EU could have opposed the soviets. As in 1939/40, the Low Countries would have caved in days, the French might have taken an extra week. The Mediterranean countries would have welcomed “liberators”. The Germans would probably have declared that they were neutral. Leaving the only country with guts.

  you are what you are,
  I am British born,
  
  I hope for your sake insulting the leave voters don't backfire on Gibraltar
  
  you know dam well that Spain insults Gibraltar and threatens and intimidates them,
  but of course you are entitled to your very own opinion,
  
  perhaps you think the EU and Spain are ok,
  lets hope you are right,
  because if you are wrong , you may well regret it,,
  
  As for brain washing, we will see
