    I'd be interested to see what the results of a referendum on Gibraltar would be if the place was no longer a tax haven...

    EiF:
    "Steve, we lost one ship, maybe two I think... they were sunk by French missiles sold through the USA! "

    Well, I can name the Coventry and the Sheffield and the Atlantic Conveyor (arguably the most important loss) and the Galahad...off the top of my head, so I think you might need to add a couple more onto that.

    Anyway, the French missiles through the US was made up for by the French backing us all the way, and the US providing us with sidewinders for our Harriers.

      Who here would be willing to give the Spanish the Isle of Wight in compensation?
      One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

          And Britain belongs to the French.

          And the US should belong to Spain... hey Christopher Colombus went on Spanish Ships.

            Naw, the Normans took up that option ages ago. They can't have it twice

              Actually Britain should have vast tracts of France returned as IIRC we used to own about a 1/3 of the country quite legitimately through Royal lineage.

              But you don't hear us carping on about it incessantly...

              Of the top of my head I can think of three reasons why we shouldn't give it back...

              1) We've owned it for longer than Spain did

              2) 99.9% of the locals don't want to be Spanish

              3) Spain is being hypocritical in the extreme claiming Gibraltar when she has exactly the same gig going on in Morocco with Ceuta and Melilla (See map). I'd like to see Spain show good faith in returning those territories to Morocco before we should even consider handing Gibraltar over to them!

              Since the Irish were brought into the equation, when is it we'll be seeing an independent Basque state?

              Personally I couldn't care less whether we handed Gibraltar back (interesting place - you should go!), but I'm buggered if I'll give in to a bunch of people guilty of the same 'crimes' that we are!

                Well not any more it ain't... who wants to rule the French anyways? Ugh.

                We need more land.

                You never will see that. Basque is part of Spain and the ETA are unpopular. It will never be granted independence because it has been part of Spain for a very long time.

                It is rightfully ours!

                    Firstly, it is located on Iberia.... next to Spain, and is held by the British. It should belong to Spain.

                      So is Portugal. Are you going to claim Lusitania aswell?

                        Finish reading my sentence before you jump to conclusions. Lusitania? Uh, I never heard of such a country.

                        I said it is located right next to Spain, therefore is Spain's. If it was next to Portugal it should be part of Portugal. You don't see Spain holding any territory in the British isles now do you?

                          You have more land than us, don't we need the land?

                          Perhaps I should refer you back to the Spanish colonies MOBIUS mentioned...?

                              Tell me why the Spanish went whinning to the EU? If they want it, let them try and take it.

                                It really should be...

                                That would be too easy.
