The Spanish people are mightily p1ssed off at the moment, but with the state of their economy and with the people they perceive to have shafted them (USA, Germany, all the banks, et al).
The Spanish people asked for an EU credit card, proceeded to max it out, and are now squealing about having to pay it back. They voted for the governments that allowed the banks too much leeway, tough ****. Maybe they will learn.......but I doubt it.

The Spanish government have kicked off over Gib because the Gibraltar government raised the ante.
There is only one word to describe that statement......it ends in "llocks". The Spanish government have kicked off in an attempt to deflect attention from their own corruption, incompetence and mismanagement.

The splutter and bluster coming out of No 10 is quite embarrassing and will actually play well the Spanish, if indeed, their government is looking for diversion.
Not sure what you are on about, the UK government has so far been fairly reticent, allowing the Spanish to continue making fools of themselves with their threats of dragging Argentina into the spat.

You really should think things through before you post.
