ALWAYS A GOOD DEFENCE

Minister defends Gibraltar's celebration plans (Telegraph.co.uk, 8/2/04)

Gibraltar's chief minister has defended plans to celebrate 300 years of British rule by telling the Spanish that the events are "none of their business".
It's like the 20th century never happened.

Nice to learn there are still some sane people in Britain.

The Spanish rightwingers are out of power so I hope Blair will play a litle hardball.

Should one expect Zapatero to pull out of the negotiations and then claim victory?

What would Zapatero do if the "Golden Hind" were to suddenly appear off the Atlantic Coast?
