Well, that would be popular with the Spanish fishing fleet owners considering that they will probably get the heave-ho from Scottish waters come Brexit.

Exactly what one should expect from all them Spanish colonialist invaders presently squatting in South America and parts of Scotland? Soddy offy!

Spanish trawlers have been spotted on Mars, soon after Brexit they will be totally banned from British waters at home and abroad.

Argentina will return Patagonia within 25 years.

So what do they want? Renegotiate the Treaty(or Treaties) of Utrecht? Or maybe bring Charles II of Spain(El Hechizado) back to life? After all, his inability to function(in all ways) was the cause of the Wars of the Spanish Succession which led to the Treaties of Utrecht.

I see. Now, aren't several of these nations on the UN's C24? Isn't Ecuador the current president?

In making this declaration, they show that they are not impartial and are therefore not competent to discuss anything related to either Gibraltar or the Falklands at this United Nations Committee.

Surely the UK should now demand their exclusion from the C24 on the grounds that these nations have effectively forfeited their places?
