That's one of the reasons why the world's in a damned mess!

2 wrongs do not make a right. For one who always states that diplomacy is best whenever I post remarks like that, it makes me wonder about your mindset!

Diplomacy is always the best way forward to resolve any dispute, this has always been the UK's position. It has been tried with Spain in the past and again most recently, but they have refused to sit down and negotiate sensibly.

Sensibly being to accept UK's world view as being correct and all others as being flawed.

Chris they accuse the USA of hegemony ...

I think a replay of the Spanish Armada might be in order. Looking at the state of the Spanish navy, And that the UK is minus a carrier. Its rowboats with cannon as ships of the line. But only to be manned by the muppets from both countrys.

But the UK are not the muppets in this instance, that label falls fairly and
squarely upon the Spanish here. A treaty is a treaty, a contract and Spain was
happy to sign Gibraltar over to us for keeps 300 years ago. Brussels (EU) has to
support our claim on Gibraltar and the validity of the treaty we and Spain
signed. If Brussels does not then the consequence of their action would be that
no treaty signed within Europe is binding. Hence the UK could decide that since
it's not too impressed by the EU at the moment we can simply ignore any party
agreements we have with the EU so can simply walk out.
This action could set a presidents through out the world and that no treaty
between any nation and another is ever binding. I wonder what the ramifications
would be for many countries and states including the USA. To this end, we might
have to start thinking about redrawing the map of the world for there could be
a lot of changes afoot, in time, if treaties and/or agreements are just ripped
up because one party decides to have a change of heart.

It would be educational to a lot of people if they investigated the actions of the Spanish fishing fleet.

Probably the closest incident to people who visit here would be cod fishing on the Grand Banks.

But there are complaints against them almost world wide, such as Africa, New Zealand and South America.

Also look at how much it gets in subsidies from the EU.

What is it with fishermen? Why can't they find a proper job, and stop harassing the rest of the world?


You ever eaten fish? Yes? How did it get on your plate? Did you spear it yourself?

You are complaining because they are capitalists. Just like lumber companies. Just line diamond mines. Just like oil companies. Just like bankers. Just like lawyers.

Take a leaf out of this fisherman's book. Something like that'll keep you fed for a few months......
