Now I wonder why no one from the Royal Family bothered to attend the Celebrations at the Rock this week. May be they were hiding with the Americans some where?????.

It's ours. And I hope it will remain ours. The British Marines (were'nt Royal then) aided by the Cloggie Marines took it. The Wops/Dagos still have bits n bobs of North Afica. They Going to hand them over? No F**king chance!
Gibralter is the only battle Honour on the Royal Marines units Flags for goodness sake! (more battle honours than any. repeat any other element of the British Armed forces!)

'Gibraltar has particularly strong links with the Royal Marines, who wear the name of Gibraltar with pride on their regimental cap badge, so the three-day stopover was a big hit with the men of 42 Commando, the group's embarked military force'.
For anyone who has been to GIBRALTAR will know it is not spelt Gibralter, and any ROYAL will know the country is spelt GIBRALTAR
According to the Treaty of Utrecht (1711) Spain yielded to Britain 'the full and entire property of the town and castle of Gibraltar, together with the port, fortifications and forts thereunto belonging; and he (the Catholic king) gives up the said propriety to be held and enjoyed with all manner of right for ever, without any exception or impediment whatsoever'
So they can't ask for it back can they?
You can have peace.
Or you can have freedom.
Don't ever count on having both at once.

The point is that this poxy countries Goverment would sell it's soul to the Devil if it thought it would help us to make friends with the Morons who think they have a right to what we have taken over by force of arms.
The next thing will be the return of the Elgin Marbles to Greece where I imagine they will be totally ruined or sold to the highest bidder within a decade.
Give it 50 years and the bloody Argies will have the Falklands, along with a big pile of dosh from our gutless Politicians as a way of saying that the UK is So very very sorry for what it had the nerve to do in the 18th century.
Am sick and tired of this SO SORRY crap that seems to be the normal thing nowadays.
Why the hell should we appease these F**king Ar*ewipes?
Because, unfortunately, we had the audacity to fight.
Personally I think in way of reparations, we should give them Gibraltar back, and of course give the Falklands back. Maybe we can convince America to give back California, or Alaska even? To top it off, let's pay the families of Iraqi 'insurgents' who try and kill British and coalition troops money for their efforts. Wait a minute....we already do
I give a flying fig about Gibraltar but I wouldn't half mind swapping it with the Spanish if we could have the likes of Luton, Hounslow, Brixton and Bradford back, now that would be a good deal!
Giving Gibraltar to the Spanish can't happen unless the people who live there want it to. And they don't.
Maybe Mr Bliar could consider giving the USA back to the Native Americans? Or returning Australia to the Aborigines?
You can have peace.
Or you can have freedom.
