WITH a Brexit deal close to being agreed, what has happened? Someone has shoved a Spaniard in the works, that’s what.
That Third World basket case Spain is threatening to veto any deal we strike with the European Union.

They get themselves very worked up about Gibraltar, the Spaniards...

WITH a Brexit deal close to being agreed, what has happened? Someone has shoved a Spaniard in the works, that’s what.
That Third World basket case Spain is threatening to veto any deal we strike with the European Union.
The residents of Gibraltar have become fiercely protective of their British citizenship
They are getting angry about what will happen to Gibraltar.
They get themselves very worked up about Gibraltar, the Spaniards.
Forgetting entirely that they “own” three territories bordering Morocco — Ceuta, Melilla and Perejil.
Much to the fury of the Moroccans, who claim, with some justification, that the territories are theirs.
The Spanish have no greater claim on Gibraltar than they do on Portugal
Gibraltar, meanwhile, is inhabited by British people who vote, every time, that they very much want to remain British.
The Spanish have no greater claim on Gibraltar than they do on Portugal.
But that’s not all. The behaviour of the Spanish is yet another reason why we should be glad to be rid of the EU.
Yet another gobby, bankrupt, mismanaged country trying to tell us what to do.
Tensions between the British and Spanish governments have been raised on issues surrounding the sovereignty of Gibraltar
A country which keeps afloat only because of the money we pour into it.
Its debt is staggering — so huge, that if it was piled up in single dollar bills it would reach 97,018 miles high.
That’s more than a third of the way to the moon.
Unemployment? Si, senor. They certainly have that.
The Sun's campaign to stop Spain gaining ownership of The Rock
Youth unemployment currently stands at above 34 per cent — the kind of thing you might expect in sub-Saharan Africa (of which Spain is almost a part).
Approximately one in five Spaniards is out of work.
Not surprising, then, that almost nobody in Spain wants to be Spanish.
They all want to get the hell out. Most notably the Catalans, whose free and fair vote for independence was brutally crushed by the Spanish government and the EU.
Being a democracy for only 43 years - fascism is never far from the surface in Spain
Fascism is never far from the surface in Spain.
Don’t forget, it’s been a democracy for only 43 years, having been a fascist dictatorship before then.
The Galicians, up in the north west, want independence. The Basques want independence.
Down in the arid south the Andalusians quite fancy breaking free, too.
Everywhere you look in Spain there’s people telling you they’d rather be somewhere else altogether
Everywhere you look in Spain there’s people telling you they’d rather be somewhere else altogether. Anywhere but Spain.
A country whose only redeemable quality is a warm climate for Germans and Brits to get p***ed in.
But this is the thing about the EU, and why we must remove ourselves pronto.
The UK being dictated to by Spain is a bit like El Salvador telling the US what it can and can’t do.

And yet for all the while we are in the EU, this is what will happen.
No wonder more and more sensible countries are beginning to consider their options.
Sir Francis Drake took the right approach to Spain.
Finish a leisurely game of bowls then go and defeat their entire armada in about half an hour. (They’re still cross about that, too.)
Spain's President Pedro Sanchez can veto as much as he likes, but Gibraltar's future will never be negotiable
We should tell the Spanish that the status of Gibraltar will never be negotiable so long as a majority of its citizens wish to remain British.
Tell their smug boss Pedro Sanchez that he can veto as much as he likes, but that will never change.
And at the same time, support Morocco’s right to reclaim Ceuta, Melilla and Perejil from these tapas-munching, bone idle hypocrites.
