According to the Daily Mail<\/a> Britain is planning on a vote on July 23rd whether they want to remain in the European Union. Spain has threatened to invade Gibraltar if they do decide to leave.<\/p>\n

Julia Reid, the party\u2019s MEP for Gibraltar, lashed out at comments and warned off any move made by Spain.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cGibraltar has nothing to fear, any move for the outpost, which is as British and Britain itself, would be repelled, as every attempt has been for hundreds of years.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd even if Britain votes to leave the EU, it doesn\u2019t make any difference, Gibraltar will still be British territory and that\u2019s that.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt sounds more like an old communique from Buenos Aires, rather than a new one from Madrid.\u201d<\/p>\n

[Jose Manual Garcia-Margallo, Spain’s Foreign Minister] said “we\u2019ll be talking about Gibraltar the very next day” if Britons vote to quit the bloc on June 23.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Britain got the tip of the Iberian Peninsula “in perpetuity” at the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713 following the War of Spanish Succession. The Spanish had trouble fulfilling their obligations in the war against terror, but they’re willing to die on this hill? It doesn’t have the same strategic value that it had in the 18th century, so I’d just give it back to them and then leave the EU and see who gets the last laugh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
