It's too small to be able to provide it's own supplies eg food.

So why can we not ship it in from the UK ?

You can bet that the EU will blame us for this.

We should definitely send a ship. And it should be escorted by one of Her Majesty's frigates.

We should also charge a fee of £49.00 for every Spanish lorry entering the UK, cash only to be paid on entry after the 1 days inspection requirement for there passports.

Loads of inspectors: FSA, VOSA, RSPCA, Customs, immigration, etc. All in Hi-Viz jackets and only one at a time like hurdles. They could be stuck in port for days.

I know exactly who is going to be the bigger jobsworth ,last week while my truck was being unloaded i had to hand my keys into the goods in office and stand in a yellow square painted on the floor of the yard to make sure i wasn't hit by an FLT :rolleyes: ,you are not allowed to leave the box untill the truck is unloaded and your keys have been returned to you along with the delivery note .Now expand this idea to a bigger painted box for lots of drivers and a mix up with the keys :D

Excellent :tu:

If the EU stand with Spain on this which is what i expect to happen, then i expect Cameron to give them a warning that they support us or get lost.

It's exactly why we SHOULD take revenge directly and thumb our noses at the EU.
But that's playing into the hands on the idiots running the EU, They want us to retaliate so they have an excuse to crap on us AGAIN and support the Spanish.

Watch how soon the EU take sides if we up the anti.

Spain must allow "smooth and efficient border crossings" with Gibraltar, the European Commission has warned, as it stepped into the row between Madrid and Britain.

It has told the government in Madrid that Spain must "address and discuss" with the European Union its angry dispute over fishing rights and sovereignty of the rocky outcrop, ceded to Britain under the 300-year-old Treaty of Utrecht.

It has also pledged to send officials to the border between Spain and Gibraltar, to investigate the "serious complaints" it says it has received
