Andypandy068,
"Reciprocal charges won’t work, charging Brits to fly to Spain simply upsets the voters. I suspect charging Spaniards to enter the UK is probably illegal under EU law."
I suppose that the same can be said of the border charges to Gib proposed by Spain. For me there are two options.
1. Give Gibraltar back to Spain.
2. Stand up to the aggression (obviously started to deflect attention from the Spanish political woes). Put a few competent (typhoons) aircraft to protect legal British trade in and out of Gib. SBS/marines to patrol Gib legal boundaries, and use force if required.
Unfortunately, with the current governments acquiescence in all matters to the EU. EU intransigence towards the UK I suspect we end up with option 1. For all of the rhetoric the likes of call me Dave are not about to upset Rumpy Von Pumpy.
