The spirit of Franco is alive and well

Those anti-democratic spanish show their true colours.
Franco would have approved

I agree with Serb. I wouldn't wonder if Fez would get here and have a speech that could be compared to ones held by Franco.

Serb, that's the Gregorian time keeping. We're using the Julian time keeping system, so 25th Dec is the day for us.

On topic, I'm glad the Spanish scuppeered it. It means they don't even get joint sovereignty.

Pointless, their both EU members.
Hopefully UK will wise up now. Spain has as much right
to the rock as it does the Netherlands. Zero.

Greece is in 25 Dec.
we call you Palaioimerologites (small word ) it means Old Diary People. There is still a small fraction in Greece which is Palaioimerologites.
Serbia also celebrates on 7 January IIRC.

No actually that's wrong. You are not called palaioimerologites. My mistake.
Just that you follow the Gregorian Diary.

After more than 250 years of British rule it's just plain silly for the Spanish to demand Gibralter back.
You know, if someone wanted to have a little fun they could propose that sovreignity problems like this, i.e., that involve two memebers, should be settled by a referrendum of the entire population of the European Union. I can't think of anything that would bring the peoples of the EU together more.

Don't get it. What does Franco has to do with The Rock?
IMHO opinion Franco was a good leader and his country progressed under him.
And the "Rock" is Spanish national soil. It should be returned to them. The Brits however have an equal right to protect what they see as their own.

No, it's British territory. Considering that it's been that way for centuries, I see nor reason to change, especially considering that the people of Gibralter want to remain with the UK.
Spain's claim is based on nothing. Not on the will of the people, nor on any sort of historical basis.

Yeah - I use shallow graves in the Baja desert. Seems to work well for the local narcos to deal with their delinquents.
The only difference is I don't shovel the dirt in on top - I let (most) of mine get back out after a while, born again, as it were.

No No No No! 
1) The Rock is British, and the Spanish flag will never fly there without blood being spilt! (97% Gibraltarians wish to stay British)
2) I hate Franco. How can you be positive about a reactionry military dictator who rose against the demacraticy elected goverment of the Republic!
3) Still think it was funny when Morroco 'occupied' that tiny island last year.
