And at the top of the list of claims and colonies and all remnants from the 18th century and beyond is wht is now the UK. Clealry Gbraltar is Spansih and is part of Spain but we got the right to govern it at treaty of Utrecht .

As for incursions in air space-clearly not on the table back then as someone pointed out these appear about UK aircraft in the Spanish papers too but they are obviously lies because they are dodgy Spaniards and we are British and therefore always right.

Gib obviously knew its mind on the Eu as it voted 100% remain -and was I dreaming that someone mentioned nuclear weapons in this context? I suppose nukes are about the only thing we have left and no doubt they can only be used with US approval
