+sam raynes The colonial era is well and truly over. Gibraltar is special in many ways, but it's a colonial relic all the same. Anyhow, Britain has to choose between pursuing the interests of 30,000 Britons in Gibraltar vs. the 300,000 British expats in Spain. Speaking of which, in my decade-long experience, sympathies for the Gibraltarians run low among the expats, who're not only far more numerous, but also much more vulnerable in the event of a hard Brexit. Also, it always struck me as odd that my better assimilated British diving buddies, with whom I often went to dive off Gibraltar, spoke Spanish with the Gibraltarians. They prefer it to English.
No, Gibraltar needs to come to terms with its destiny, which isn't as part of Great Britain. Independence is a non-starter, so autonomy it must be.
