THE Spanish prime minister has threatened to reject the Brexit withdrawal agreement unless the European Union hands Madrid a guaranteed veto over the future of Gibraltar in any trade deal between Britain and Europe.

I’m sure General Franco would approve taking Gibraltar.
Exactly right. Basically just declare that “this is not working out for us” and simply leave. The more they prolong the exit the worse it gets.
The EU will fuss and make idle threats but they’ll get over it within a year. They have lots of far more pressing problems to deal with inside their own block. They’ll quickly move on to the next crisis and Great Britain will sort out its own issues.
A year from now Brexit will be a forgotten issue.
Well, sure it sounds bad when you put it that way but ... oh heck. I got nothing.
Spain ceded the territory to Britain in 1713. This is a perpetual saga that’s not going to be settled any time soon.
Spain. They should just lay back and keep letting Muslims **ck them some more.
I don’t know if that’s relevant anymore. Lots of people seem to be checking out of Kalifornia these days. LOL
Spain joins the list of countries holding Britannia in thrall ...
Nice try. It’ll fail. Thanks for playing. Please accept these parting gifts.

And after that year, BMW will still be selling more cars in the UK than Germany...:^)
Reunification of Gibraltar with Spain IS nationalism.
Good point. Why waste time wrangling with and fretting over a bunch of EU bureaucrats who a just making lots of noise? Ignore them and do what you have to do.
The EU is such a mess you’d think that the Brits would realize that a year from now they will be thankful they’ve left that basket case of chaos.
“Dear Spain, Gibraltar is British now and forever. Deal with it! Sincerely, the people who kicked your ass to win it.”
A soft BREXIT is like agreeing to only a little rape.
You have well stated the worst case scenario.
I would suggest that the freedom of passage is well known and highly valued. It will not be trashed.
Somehow, they will muddle through. There can be no return to the old ways
Britain needs a leader with a pair. Maybe President Trump has a spare pair for PM May.
Are they going to give Morocco veto power over Ceuta?
Is Spain going to surrender their territory on the Africans continent?
