British warship in 'routine' Gibraltar visit
 
Would probably have gone unnoticed if recent events over fishing rights hadn't taken place.

And the Spanish foreign minister has reportedly mooted bringing in a new 50 euro (£43) fee on every vehicle entering or leaving the British territory.

As if unemployment wasn't bad enough in Spain...he does realise there are a lot more Spaniards than Gibraltarians come and go...doesn't he? :hmm2:

Could well be routine, plenty popped in for my two visits.

Just wait for the marines to storm the wrong beach again.

Per Mare Per Muddum! :salute:

EDIT: A quick google tells me that they're actually Arty boys rather than Marines, so I think we'll let them off.

Gibraltar row: UK considering 'unprecedented' legal action

The UK government is considering legal action against Spain over the imposition of additional border checks in Gibraltar, Downing Street has said.
A spokesman said the prime minister was "very disappointed" by Spain's failure to remove the checks over the weekend.
Legal action through the EU would be "unprecedented", the spokesman added.
The Spanish government, which has said its checks are essential to stop smuggling, said it would not relax border controls.
Spain said it had an "obligation" to police the border, and insisted its controls were legal and proportionate.


Can you believe this? :)

A government spokesman also said Spain was considering taking the dispute to the UN Security Council, where it could seek the support of Argentina.
