  1. A part of Spain,seized in 1704,now run for the benefit of betting firms and financial services due to its lower tax rates.Wonder what the Brits would think if the French or Germans owned the Isle of Wight ?

  2. Hear,hear Peter. So glad to see a man who doesn’t mind losing all those taxes that the betting firms and financial services would be paying,if they were based in Britain.We need men of your character “strong in arm and thick in t’head “. Bet you voted for Brexit,didn’t you.? PS The EU used to return £3 bn of our contributions,to subsidise farmers.They still get their £3 bn....but now we have left......Guess who pays all that lovely money to the rich landowners Peter?

  3.  @shelleyphilcox4743  et al :- Anybody want to discuss 1)Neanderthals 50,000 yrs ago, 2)Arabs 8th Century and who gave the name to Gibraltar,3)Phoenicians,Romans,Visigoths,Arabs 1160, Isabella of Castile 1501 whose flag+coat of arms is still used by Gibraltar ? The fact that nearly all the Spaniards left in 1704 ? I am open to info. as to who voted in the 2 refs. Re:Democracy.....did the 46% of Spanish workers vote ,or was it restricted to (tax exile) Gibraltarians ? Wiki. the number of wars the U.K. has been in (since WW2),the £6bn spent on aircraft carriers....we live in the 21st century.....pretending you can own land on distant lands is a perogative of the rich,not the indigenous people.Gibraltar is a perfect example.

  4. I read that 65% of the workers in Gibraltar are Spanish. Who had a vote in the referendums ? There appears to be a lot of Hindu,average age 40.....are these betting/finance staff.......if so,it sounds very similar to Cromwell swamping N Ireland and the Clearances in Scotland......and then saying,”it was a democratic vote.” !
