WHAT a fiasco,the EU are demanding proof of ownership of Gibraltar.

They say in their view it is a British Colony, Gibraltar has its own government does it not.

Or do they draw a parallel with the other rock, Alcatraz.

The Gibraltarians do not see themselves as restricted, they use both the Euro and the Pound as currency, can move freely on and off ‘The Rock’ in and out of Spain and the rest of Europe. So what is all this mention of visas? We won Gibraltar fair and square eons ago so why do we have to prove sovereignty to anyone?
