I'm British and I think brexit was a terrible mistake. I voted to stay in and against the Conservatives at every opportunity, and will again. But we lost, not only in the one off referendum but in two subsequent elections. Now we have brexit, the in/out debate is over. If we wanted to go back, it would take years (probably decades) and we wouldn't get the deal that we had. So if remaining is off the table, what can we do? The Norwegians would apparently veto us joining EFTA, so that really limits our options. It's why we are absolutely screwed. Any version of brexit we can have is horrendous compared to what we had. The circumstances we have found ourselves in are dreadful and mostly self-inflicted. But the only way out is for some sort of Swiss style arrangement but that will take an awfully long time to get right. People voted in large numbers to get brexit out of the news in 2019, little did they know it has only really just begun

In any case, those are agreements with reverent nations that has been part of Europe for hundred of years thus do have favorable relations. The EU cannot, and shouldn't, give the same conditions to an overseas territory of a country that is not not part of the EU but one that decided to cut ties with it. Any solution must include EU control of customs and immigration as open boarders means free access of people and goods. It seems there is some progress with this but, as mentioned, without an agreement before the Elections the chances of a closed boarder will increase.

What about freedom of movement for people, and customs for ships and big cars? Like who even cares if a person with a backpack goes in or not, that won't hurt anybody. Let the people cross and work and go shopping, only big transfer of goods to be checked. Dispense with the illusions that a hard border there would benefit everyone. Imagine having to ship food and goods exclusively from the UK, labour mostly from UK. I would certainly not enjoy to experience the bills. I would argue that it is very favorable for Gibraltar if they allow the exchange of persons with limited amount of goods freely, as they should allow Spanish crops. The rest of goods can be handled as UK stuff, because it has to be imported from somewhere around the world anyways and because not much gets produced in UK or Spain exclusively anymore.

Gibraltar is nothing other than a non-self-governing territory, subject to the process of decolonisation, in two words: a colony. It was included on the UN list of territories to be decolonised in 1963 and has remained there ever since. Since that year, therefore, the UN Special Committee on the Situation with regard to the Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples, the so-called Committee of 24, has included it among the territories within its competence. In 1964 this Committee reached a consensus on the situation in the Non-Self-Governing Territory of Gibraltar urging the United Kingdom and Spain to begin talks without delay in order to find a negotiated solution. The following year the General Assembly endorsed the terms of the consensus and invited both nations to begin such talks. Year after year the UN has maintained this mandate to the two states, which therefore remains in full force and effect. It is also worth noting that the UN calls for decolonisation in accordance with the principle of territorial integrity and not by virtue of any supposed right of self-determination of a hypothetical Gibraltarian ‘people’ (indeed, in 1967 it condemned the referendum held in Gibraltar). It does state that the interests of the people of Gibraltar must be heard. They have an excellent channel for that: the British Government. negotiations on sovereignty are a matter for London and Madrid alone. In short, for the UN what we have is a colonial situation that must be brought to an end. Disputes between countries must be resolved in accordance with international law, not on the basis of the proclaimed will of a people. The British have always abused our good faith and our moments of weakness. Spain voluntarily established a neutral zone, while maintaining its exclusive sovereignty. In 1815, for humanitarian reasons and because of a yellow fever epidemic, the British were authorised to use it temporarily to build a sanitary camp, but this zone was never returned. The airport was built in 1938, in the middle of the Spanish Civil War, on the usurped isthmus, under the misleading name of ‘emergency landing strip’, later converted into an aerodrome, airport and finally, an air base. The fence had to be opened in 1986 because of the risk of the British exercising their veto on Spain's entry into the EU.

Both sides of Gibraltar could adopt a system similar to that of Canada, Mexico and The US regarding border towns, SENTRI. In simple terms, it is essentially a verification process used by every day border crossers that scan their RF passes, therefore skipping the inspection lines. Citizens of both countries apply and can help maintain traffic flow with minimal delays, and politically speaking, its one of the viable solutions for ensuring economic flows between the overall EU and UK. Heres the CBP explanation: “The Secure Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid Inspection (SENTRI) is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) program that allows expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival in the United States” updated Jan 4, 2022.

That is wrong, Ceuta and Melilla were Spanish time before Morocco existed! Not the case of Gibraltar. the best solution for Gibraltar, the locals around, Spain, UK and the EU is co-sovereignty. The Utrecht treaty has beed abused by the UK anyway and today Gibraltar does not make sense.

1000S do cross into Gibraltar for work everyday and NOT each way as mentioned
@giftofthewild6665 Жыл бұрын
Exactly. 15000 to be precise. And 11000 of them are Spanish. Gib provides 11,000 jobs to Spain. For a territory of only 30,000 people (who all also have jobs in Gib, not Spain) I think that's quite remarkable. Gib's strong economy is one of the reasons Gibraltarians want to remain British. Maybe if Spain were providing Gib jobs and everyone crossed into Spain for work we'd all want to be spanish. Maybe Spain should focus on making their economy great and then Gib will come to them with open arms? Until then, no deal.
@tedcrilly46 Жыл бұрын
A good number of those thousands coming in are Brits/Gibraltarians who couldn't find a space to live inside Gib. And so live in Lalinea instead. Also the Gib economy doesn't function without the cross border workers. And the Gib economy is largely funded by cross border tourism. So watch your behavior.

@@giftofthewild6665 will be hard to replace those 15000 workers if the border is strict and people need visas. Gib needs the workers as much as the workers need Gib
@giftofthewild6665 Жыл бұрын
@@RobertScott-wg1zs that's true but you should know that there will be no problem on the Gib side - we will easily issue the visas to spanish people, we don't need a schengen agreement in place to do so. Our rules on issuing work visas are distinct and separate from UK's. All the delays at the border are due to the Spanish, not us.

Tenerife has nothing to do with the UK. Of course if you don't get out of the touristic guettos you won't notice the difference, but the locals live a different reality and culture to the tourists. They don't seem to be interested in the real Tenerife, they just care for the beach and the cheap alcohol. And I think is better that way.

Why not just charge a visa of 10 euros per crossing to Gibraltar & use the money to make Gibraltar richer? Cheap labour from low cost of living nations suppresses wages, a tariff on foreign labour helps Gibraltans compete for jobs.

2:46 'Temper tantrums get you nowhere in politics. Understanding that people need to move on in a democracy and not dwell on a result from 2016.' - Fabian Picardo Chief Minister of Gibraltar. Despite the British holding on to Gibraltar based on a treaty from 1713. I think he made a good argument for returning Gibraltar to the Spanish.😂
