All fair points in response guys. Just wanted to make the point that it is all a bit more muddy and less defined than at first glance. Gibratarians voted overwhelmingly to remain 'British' ... And we should recognise that... But we must make sure that they behave appropriately and to our standards. They are very patriotic people but not averse to playing mum off against dad to serve more local interests. My time in Gib was one of the most enjoyable but also one of the most frustrating tours of the last 33 years...
