I don't know why we go to lots of countries, not just Spain. Turkey, for instance, has a terrible record for hard-line government trampling on human rights, but even they backed off when it hit the tourist trade.
I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

Does strike me as a bit odd. I can see the point in the argies moaning about the Falklands because of the oil that may lie within its territorial waters but if Gibraltar goes back to Spain then it ceases to have any value. Just smacks of Spain getting upset because we beat them in several wars and they now want back what they had to give up for losing!!!

You beat fuck all , It is difficult to say who won the war, for although England beat the Armada, and later managed to land soldiers in Spain itself, it never managed to win any major victories over the Spanish, and Spain remained the strongest country in Europe, and was always a threat to England, and the Protestant religion.

Gibraltar has been British since 1704. Thats 4 minutes past 5pm.
Joking apart, I don't see its relevance in this day and age. Ok its a naval blockade to the Mediterranean.And they have Monkeys that steal your food.
I'd say give it back to Spain - are we that desperate to keep it :?

You beat **** all

Firstly young man moderate your language, I accept English is not your native tongue but you should still know what passes for acceptable.
Secondly as far as I am aware winners don't tend to sign treaties giving things away?
