I think some Jaguars were sent to Gibraltar during the Falklands for just this very reason, no?

Nothing of that kind will happen now, because the UK daren't rock the boat for fear Spain will scupper any future trade deal with the EU. Same reason Williamson got his knuckled rapped for saying he's going to sail the QEC to China. It's called 'taking back control', I think.
