funny how creaming LIBERAL at me and others isn't supposed to be an insult. I get it. It's ok to be some sort of crusader for...i dunno... the wealthy and call people by derisive names. Sadly, I'd rather be a liberal than an angry, incontinent, and impotent old man crying for vengeance. The old days of appartied in America are breaking down. Don't be surprised if one or more of your children befriend or date one of those people you hate. It's ok. you can rage and quite honestly we get it. We are trying to actually help you understand the changes not only in society but in everyones way of thinking. If you cannot change you will be left behind. or is it right behind either way. living your life looking back is no way to live. Quite honestly I'd love to see the country running with the constitution as it was originally written. I'd even like to quiz a few of the delegates on what is happening now and if they really meant it to be and unbending set of rules that cannot and will not change through time. However we don't have the luxury of 13 colonies or 3/5's persons anymore so we have to run along the line that things are running pretty well for a 226 year old document. Now back to spain.

An interesting letter in the Daily telegraph today and i quote the final paragraph. "If Spain wants to reopen the Ulrecht Treaty negotiations, it will need to argue with the Netherlands, Italy, France and Portugal about parts of what those countries have since regarded as theirs." So it could be a case of win Gibraltar at the potential cost of returning, in the process, a much-much larger percentage of Spanish land back to other countries. It only needs a one or two of the aforementioned countries to tell Spain that their watching this all very closely, with the view of resurrecting their own claims against the Spanish. The result being "Case for claiming Gibraltar quietly dropped". By the way, Gibraltar has been under the control of Britain for far longer than Spain, as a country, has existed.

Yep & you can take it to the bank that the Basques are watching this unfold very carefully indeed. Spain had better stop & rethink this through, as sometimes, one does get what one wishes! |

Ulrecht Treaty... Fairly interesting document/s. Gibraltar amounts to a mere pinprick when compared to other lands they gave up to other countries at that time. One could construed that if Spain got back Gibraltar then their next move would be against those other countries involved in the Ulrecht Treaty. Be careful France, Portugal and the Netherlands for you could be next on their hit list. Under the Treaty Britain also gained Minorca (the old spelling). Various battles ensued over these Islands and finally we gave back Minorca to Spain under the Treaty of Amiens. Well, if Spain wants to renegotiate the Ulrecht Treaty then fair game to us we can ask to renegotiate the Treaty of Amiens in view of gaining back Minorca from them.

http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/419522/Jet-fighter-threat-to-the-Falkland-Islands With a total range of only 500 miles looks like the Argentines will have to recommission one of their old aircraft carriers. How long will that stay afloat?? if we have another Falklands war.

http://news.sky.com/story/1127266/gibraltar-and-falklands-pose-new-battle-for-uk ..or even better, we pull out of the EU, force Spain to repay our share of the bailout received & watch their economy really hit the skids. All that extra money back in our coffers rebuild our forces & have them exercise regularly in the Falklands... Jod done & all those spanish senors will end up kissing their own butts. |

I understand that the UK is considering reacquiring Calais along with Hong Kong. Yes, in the former something about too many speeding tickets and it the latter a bad translation; the original reads 999 years. :) |
