In my view by MARK VIALES
The Rock makes its last stand in an eight-year political war that will decide its future with or without the European Union. A hard border with Spain and renewed sovereignty attacks may lay on the horizon without a Gibrexit deal, but a viable alternative may soften the blow.

That is why the Rock has steadily increased its investment in the international organisation of 56 independent countries that touches all parts of the globe. Read more

“Despite the truce, Spain laid siege to Gibraltar again in 1727 which became the 13th siege of Gibraltar.” They forget that they set a precedent; a bad one; which later on they accused England of following, with Utrecht.”
We have to call ourselves fortunate that in our small nation, we have and have had leaders in government, who have grasped the meaning of “once bitten twice shy” and have applied it in their policies. Read more
