Disclaimer & comment rulesWow - Spain are finally talking directly to Gibraltarians. Isn't that against one of their main strategies to keep it between Madrid and London while ignoring them?

So 'confidential' that he can't tell us who he is talking to, and has been asked to name them by politicians in Gibraltar.

That is, of course, assuming that the entity he was talking to was human, rather than a macaque.
We should soon see Argentina engaged in similar confidential talks with “personalities” living in the Falklands, including secret discussions with a disgruntled Macaroni penguin (Eudyptes chrysolophus) who used to live in Puerto Madryn, who has long demanded that Futbol Para Todos be implemented on the islands.

The macaque has too much intelligence to lower himself and speak with Gollum. :o)
Probably talking to Morrisey

macaque – lol
Number 6 refutes this,
Oct 21st, 2016 - 08:02 pm - Link - Report abuse +2Spain , like Argentina , will never give up whilst they have corrupt and greedy governments,
its a shame that in the 21st century we still have countries like these still operating
they really need to accept that Spain and Argentina, are not wanted or loved by Gibraltar or the Falkland's,
All they want is to be left in peace to run their own country their way,
is this to much to ask.
Mr Margarine speaks with forked tongue about talking to personalities. He can't possibly have spoken to Pepe Fabre MBE because that honourable gentleman passed away earlier this year - unless Mr Margarine uses a Ouija board for his political ambitions.
