    Spain ceded Gibraltar to Britain in perpetuity. Gibraltarians invoke the right to self determination and therefore we have the impasse that Britain cannot cede Gibraltar back to Spain and Spain has no title to reclaim the territory. Let things lie. Does Spain really need Gibraltar? If they do they are going to need to persuade all of those living on the Rock that their future is part of Spain. At the moment they are not even convincing Catalunya.

    Brexit will hit them very hard once we leave.

    Certainly Spain will be offering them a decent deal to become Spanish.
    I'm surprised it wasn't 100% to remain, once we're out of the EU life will become even more difficult for them, and they'll have to depend on our government to protect them from Spanish aggression and disruption to their daily life. Not an enticing prospect, if I was a Gibraltarian I'd have voted remain as well. Nevertheless they'll never agree to any enticement from Spain whatever the circumstances, Brexit or not, they hate the Spanish with a will, the only way Spain will rule them is by force.

    Everywhere you look there is a problem. It's 2017 for God's sake. Will the politicians never learn?

    The Gobs-h-i-t-e who started all this simply rode off into the sunset along with his father's dirty money, built himself a shed and said, "Sod it!"

    The mentioned gobs-h-i-t-e is the one on the left, the one born with a silver spoon shoved firmly up his arse is the one on the right!

    Sometimes BT, people do the right thing for the wrong reasons. He only wanted to save his Tory Party and, inadvertently, ended up saving his country.
