NUCLEAR powered submarine HMS Ambush yesterday steamed to Gibraltar – in a massive show of force against greedy Spain.

I'm not sure there is currently a British government in cohesion atm even if we had of been willing to negotiate....which undoubtedly we won't be.

Yes we did, but the original thread went MIA. Since this is a thread that is linked from the WNN, I have reconstituted it.
