Poor sod, they get more desperate as the days go on,

Apart from the 'Barber of Seville', not having a government.
Hang him. The Top of the Rock Cafe has a handy railing to which a rope can be tied. I've been there and looked down. Apparently it's 412 metres straight down. Should be about right for defacing The Rock. For the spanish, it's something they want, diddums. For Gibraltarians, it's home. For the UK, it's heritage. Somewhere we fought and died for. We don't forget!

Your Brit thirty somethings are as weak as water.
Used to be that you could get a good rise out of them.
Now they just cry hate speech and political correctness.
Pitiful.
If you ever need anything more substantial than a spreadsheet performa or a posh PowerPoint proposal you are screwed.
Proudly a knuckle dragger from a nation of similar muts.

Ever so slightly more Union flags displayed on Spanish territory at any minute of every day.
Jun 22nd, 2016 - 11:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Total none story, but if people are outraged by this then maybe some Brits should invade Spain to vomit and urinate all over Spanish streets...oh, they already have.
