    I have a solution, make Gibraltar and Scotland part of Northern Ireland, then unify Northern Ireland, Scotland and Gibraltar with Ireland, bringing them back into the EU. Then let them have independence referendums.,, Sure its convoluted but it makes more sense than Brexit.

    Brexit has been the single most self destructive and stupid conservative thing that I've ever seen happen and it's funny as fuck I know glass houses but… Britain baby… get bent

    The UK hasn't got Brexit done either.

    Give Gibraltar back to Spain

  11. @mostly_harmless42

    Spain should permanently close the border with Gibraltar. All vehicle and pedestrian crossings should be permanently closed. Additionally, Spain should forbid any ship that that docks in Gibraltar from EVER docking in any Spanish port for perpetuity. Spanish airspace should be closed to all aircraft coming from or going to Gibraltar.

    Additionally, all aircraft coming from or going to Gibraltar should be denied emergency landing rights on Spanish territory because somewhere between 10%-15% of all flights landing at Gibraltar currently have to be diverted to Spanish airports due to the dangerous conditions at Gibraltar's airport when it is windy. Shutting down emergency landing rights would effectively force Gibraltar's airport to close, since it would become too dangerous to fly commercial aircraft into its airport without emergency landing rights in Spanish territory.

    Spain should also construct a large antennae array and some offshore wind turbines at the extreme edge of its territorial waters, which would make landing and taking off at Gibraltar's airport even more dangerous.

    The Algeciras refinery should be expanded and its exhaust vents placed as close as possible to Gibraltar and upwind from it, so as to make sure that Gibraltar takes the brunt of the emissions from the refinery (and the smell!).

    We're going to build a wall, and we're going to make England pay for it.

    I recently became a Spanish citizen, and I think I will be voting for Vox, despite me being a Democrat here in the USA. 
    Gibraltar is like someone gets into your house moves into a bedroom without your consent and at gun point, and then, the intruder demands electricity, water and to be allowed to use the bathroom, kitchen and driveway to be able to get into the bedroom they invaded inside your home, but they spit on your face inside your own house every time they see you. 
    Gibraltar is like that bedroom in your home taken by an intruder; it is Spanish territory that was taken by force. Gibraltar's legitimacy is the same that should be given to a car thief trying to get a title for the car he just stole, NONE!
    SHUT THE GATE!

    Jacob Rees Mogg has been the worse. People who want to retain an 18C Britain need to retire and let young people inherit their future. Bring back travel and trade. Also bring back EU protections for British workers. Nothing now to stop worker exploitation except the likes of Smogg, who don't see why workers should be entitled to holiday pay – nice. Now we can't blame EU for EVERYTHING our own Government has to take responsibility. Great!!

    I don't understand why the British have not banned the Tory party as a terrorist organization.

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE how brexit is biting the Brit’s who voted for it in the ass. So friggin stupid to vote for it.

    the brits said they invaded the Faulklands (also stolen land) because the majority of the people wanted to remain under the british flag.The overwhelming majority of the people of Gibralta wanted to remain under the euro flag,so much for the democracy story.

  19. @AshNonokPlays

    December 21, 2023 at 9:23 pm

    Gibraltar should go back to Spain since it's connected to Spain anyway!

  20. @NeoDragonCount

    December 21, 2023 at 9:23 pm

    Gibraltar should belong to Spain all the same as Åland belongs to Finland. In fact, Gibraltar has an ever better claim as it's part of the continent while Åland is an island.

  21. @ndedema1

    December 21, 2023 at 9:23 pm

    The UK government and opposition are also far right and the Morons of Parliament are unable to think beyond their pensions and salaries.

  22. @a_itsar1041

    December 21, 2023 at 9:23 pm

    I don't get why they didn't just give Gibraltar to spain

  23. @karihamalainen9622

    December 21, 2023 at 9:23 pm

    When you notice Russian and Eu guntrade even AFTER Krimean invasion. Eu leftists totally ignore Budapest Memorandu aka Ukraine security treaty.

  24. @Espadasilenciosa

    December 21, 2023 at 9:23 pm

    I think Gibraltarians can still receive emergency health care in Spain… but they have to pay for the services afterwards.

  25. @trippyturtle4169

    December 21, 2023 at 9:23 pm

    Gibraltarians as always wanting to benefit from spanish universal healthcare without paying any taxes.

    It's easy to live in a tax haven and wanting the benefits of a nation that pays taxes.

    Now they get what they voted for.

  26. @cosmos99ify

    December 21, 2023 at 9:23 pm

    They can always join Spain.

    I imagine if Scotland leaves, Gibraltar might ask to go with them as part of a new independent Scotland.

Could Another Brexit Debate End Farage?

Published

Nigel Farage said Andy Burnham’s comments about potentially rejoining the EU had given him “the biggest boost in [his] career”. We look at why — even if it seems counter-intuitive — another Brexit debate could actually hurt Farage.

Remainers: Why Hasn’t the Economy Collapsed Yet? – Brexit Explained

Published

on



TeeSpring Store: https://teespring.com/stores/tldr-winter

Before the Brexit referendum, a whole bunch of MPs explained to Britain how the economy would collapse post-Brexit. While Brexit hasn’t yet happened, some did say that the destruction would take place immediately after the vote; which didn’t exactly happen as expected. So in this video, we explain what’s happened and why the economy hasn’t done too badly in the end.
