Just put up the prices for fishing licenses especially for Spanish trawlers or any other EU trawlers. Put the price up 100% Job done, they will pay it

1) Them ~15% Spanish Malvinas Squidionaires can't effectively lobby for their continuous sucking (and swalowing) of the little Brutish Loligo at the “Caladero Malvinas”..., whilst the restant ~85% of Spanish Fishionaires are denied to suck them big Brutish knockers at the “Caladero Gran Sol”...
2) “Gran Sol” is a veritable “Hard Place”..., and the “Rock” has soured Brutish-Dago relations since 1704...
3) Stupid though it would be..., if them Spanish Sqidionaires were to follow Malvinas Honourable MLA, Roger Spink's “Auld, Cunning Fish Reflagging Scheme”..., so candidly made public by him..., in here at MercoPress..., some years ago...

Dec 29th, 2020 - 01:42 pm - Link - Report abuse +2Since you refer to Gibralter — I'm very curious what your highly informative option is regarding Ceuta and Melilla.
Also, it would certainly be very illuminating your personal conviction to what really is Argentine irredentism.
I ask from a personal interest due to our countries dispute of the Campo de Hielo Sur (Southern Patigonian Ice Field) and far less to your insignificant pretension to Argentine Antarctica.
Years ago, my first cousin and I locked horns over land titles that lasted for several years before finally a result to my favor. The only persons who really profited were of course, the attorneys. (You see, although I clearly had title to the land, he claimed it was rightfully his, but in-the-end after all the dust and feathers, the court disagreed and rejected his claim.)
I see the current Argentine irredentism resulting in enriching the political fortunes of your political Peronist demigods that use the Falklands as a distraction from your country's miserable economic situation. (Of course, in this case, your own citizens pay the cost while being distracted.)
I certainly would greatly appreciate your very unique analysis of irredentism.
¡Saludos!

Dec 29th, 2020 - 07:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Why is it that when defer to questioning your raison de guerre — you remind me of the thoughtful opening line:
Muchos años después, frente al pelotón de fusilamiento, el coronel Aureliano Buendía había de recordar aquella tarde remota en que su padre lo llevó a conocer el hielo.*
That of course would be the Nobel elocution equivalent of “Dust and Feathers” — correct?
So allow me to observe that this conflict was a clever misdirected focus of attention — with the politicians being the only ones benefiting...
Certainly NOT the poor souls frente al pelotón de fusilamiento...
(*My apologies to the late great Gabriel García Márquez.)

In simple terms, the cost of Calamari in Southern Europe will be going up.

Spain panic: Brexit deal to spark huge losses for Spanish fishermen in Falklands waters. Aww, bless.
Dec 31st, 2020 - 07:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0SPANISH fishermen are facing huge financial losses after the European Union stopped recognising the Falklands as a UK commercial territory as part of the Brexit deal, industry chiefs have warned.
Industry chiefs said around 79,000 tons of squid worth £180 million was caught in the 2019 season and warned the future of Spanish companies operating in that part of the world was now in grave doubt. Aww, bless the EU was trying to get one over the UK. Aww, bless, all that arguing over fish and they missed this.
Oh and by the way, if the Spanish lose out there will be a shortage of Squid in the EU. BOOM up goes the price and then guess what ---------- they are let back in and the Falklanders make a fortune.
Did somebody mention Gibraltar???

Sorted.
Seems the Brexit blow to their fishing industry was enough for the Spanish.
Didn’t want to add economic ruin to La Linear as well.

1) The barbed-wire fence that separates EL Peñón de Gibraltar from the rest of Spain goes ...
2) El Peñon de Gibraltar becomes an integral part of the Schengen Area (bye bye cigarette, alcohol & el al smuggling)...
3) The border controls at the Peñon de Gibraltar Harbour and Airport..., will be served by the European Border and Coast Guard Agency ( https://frontex.europa.eu/ ) with a more than fair share of Spanish personel..., meaning that whilst we Europeans can get in and out without a Passport..., then Engrish will have to remember theirs...
4) All in all a very positive development... for the integration of the Peñon de Gibraltar..., the Llanitos..., Spain and Europe...
And..., fkUK the UK...

Jan 03rd, 2021 - 06:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As El Peñon is stuck to Europe and not the UK mainland it actually makes sense for them to be in Schengen.
It will not bother us to have to show a passport if that is what works best for them. We can be grown up about this.
When the BOTs were created it was envisaged they would evolve in ways best suited for their particular situations.
Unlike France which simply made its overseas territories all part of Metropolitan France, with all the same rules/laws, which may not be right for their situations.
Gibraltar is free to further integrate with the EU, if that is how they see their future.
Just as the Falklands are free to continue ignoring the thieving, pure blooded Creole Planter Bastards, squatting on Indian land in Argy occupied S. America.
