Ha ha. Yes WW3 starts over Gibraltar.

Spain have been antagonising over Gibraltar for years.
Leaving Brexit has nothing to do with the soverignty of Gibraltar and I'm sure the Spanish will not risk a confrontation with the most powerful military force in Europe.

Russia?

Leaving Brexit? Does that mean it's off?

I've found the post Hrolf. I stand corrected, you used the word process not project.
I asked what people thought of David Davis 's remarks about immigration not necessarily going down post brexit as it would affect the economy too much.

The response had to come via the ballot box. If people want what is best for the majority, they will abandon Labour completely and vote UKIP, as should many Tory leavers.
This is not, and was never, the time to celebrate victory. This is just a step in the process.

What process do you mean? Leaving the EU or keeping foreigners out?

Reducing Immigration, thawing corporate abuse of democracy, wrestling power from Brussels, restoring Britain as a leading nation and not a lapdog to Germany.

I doubt for one minute that Spain would enter into conflict with us over who owns Gibraltar. Spain has been trying for years to get us to give it up even going back to the 60's and 70's when I was stationed in Gibraltar. Spain closed the border to try and get the UK to give it up but all it did was to stop all the Spanish people getting into work in Gibraltar and in the end the border was opened up again. Last year Spain had its one and only gunboat trying to get into the naval base and it was very very quickly told to f@ck off by one of our ships that was in the base getting stores and water. Spain will be forever trying to get us to give up Gibraltar but will be told again and again to get lost.. Very Much like May has told the Poison Dwarf in Scotland to do every time she brings up her independence referendum.
Argentina still lays claim to the Falklands and has done since the war and again they have been told in no uncertain terms to forget it. We will protect our islands no matter where they are in the world including Gibraltar so forget about a 3rd world war as some on here are predicting.

Spain renewing their demands for Gibraltar could open a big unwanted can of worms, and accusations of hypocrisy, regarding their enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla.

The two Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla, on the northern coast of Morocco, have long been coveted by Morocco, in much the same way that Gibraltar is coveted by Spain. If Spain is seen to be overly aggressive in their talk of wanting Gibraltar, the Moroccans may well start renewing their demands for Ceuta and Melilla.

No ones going to fight over Gibraltar, the only people who really are likely to 'argue' over it are Spain and Britain, but its real value has long since faded in the modern age (i.e. as a Naval base capable of controlling access to the Mediterranean).

I guess it really should depend on what the population of Gibraltar want. Much like the Falklands. My guess is nothing much will change, both sides will posture over the Island, but in truth I doubt Spain really want it that much.

Its like the Falklands, Argentina pull it out when there are domestic political issues to divert from. A bit of nationalist tubthumping. I suspect we do the same.

Except for the theoretical possibility of off shore oil reserves, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that neither the UK or Argentina would regard the Falklands as an economical boon.

I bet they're still collecting in the advertising though for holiday companies that offer holidays to Spain.

The truth is no one really is all that interested in what happens to Gibraltar except the people who live there, and it should be their decision.

Same as the Falklands, if they wanted to be Argentine, then they'd be f**k all we as a country could really do about it. Except they don't, and invading really only cemented that idea.

If Argentina was a massive flourishing rich economy, rather than an intermittently collapsing economic joke with a long history of brutal Junta's, then I suspect they'd be more appealing to the Islanders. Unsurprisingly, not many people want to voluntarily be a 2nd world country (maybe) when they can be a first world country.

If the economic and historical situation was reversed, you can be pretty sure which flag would be flying over the Islands.

Another scaremonger u-turns. Will they be able to claw back the money they (along with other champions of the left, Goldman Sachs) ploughed into the remain campaign?

Of course she did not say that. What she said, in effect, was that there might be a period of adjustment - obvious really.

Sounds very different than the rhetoric of the leave campaign. Are we taking full control of our borders and immigration from the EU or not?
