There's only one word that can sum up my feelings on this, and that's banned on this forum

Really? Now they're using a new secret weapon, one that destroys living matter.

I'm not saying there isn't a bit of hoo-haa over Gibraltar at the mo, including possible government actions in Europe, I'm saying the OP's linked article is just a spoof.

The Spanish don't want to get rid of Queen Elizabeth (for she died in the 17th Century!), there is no Cranstonwaith-Pembroke nor a Combine National Front and Hedgehog Preservation Advisory Society, for it is just a spoof!

One slight snag...


Neither do we...


Still, on the up side, hopefully the weather control device we used in 1588 still works...

You managed the Falklands with grace and aplomb! Actually it was the panic-inducing fire ships and the cutting of the anchor lines too.
