Mainly because we don't have a Navy any longer.... No way could we do anything like that again.
However Brits are more worried about Spanish holidays than the sovereignty of Gibraltar. There'd be an outcry it they were in jeopardy, not to mention the expats. 1.2 million of them in EU countries, be a tight squeeze if they all had to come back.
Unintended and unforeseen consequences - we'll be hearing about a lot of them in the next couple of years. 'Project Fear' will look like a nice dream. Still, carry on regardless !
