In a post-Brexit world, Gibraltar has always been a thorny issue, but with a new Labour government and the possible imposition of a hard border with Spain, could Starmer resolve this problem once and for all and avoid yet more Brexit chaos?

I grew up and lived in Algeciras for over 17 years, just on the opposite side of the bay from Gibraltar. To all those sitting from UK, mainland Spain or elsewhere in Europe saying that El Campo or Spain needs Gibraltar to keep those jobs, I am sorry, but you are wrong. Some background before. When Spain joined the EU in 1986 and the UK forced to open the border between Spain and Gibraltar, GDP per capita between Spain and Gibraltar was somewhat comparable. It was only from the point that Gibraltar had the best from both worlds, access to the largest single global market AND being a tax heaven that it’s GDP per capita skyrocketed to be in the top 5 worldwide. This would have not been possible without being part of the EU and Spain allowing Gibraltar to provide goods and services through its territory. What was the cost of that for the surrounding area? impoverishment. Which company would settle in El Campo, if they could do it in Gibraltar paying a fraction of corporate tax? What about income tax? Regarding smuggling, can you imagine the hundred of tons of smuggled tax free tobacco and other products from Gibraltar to Spain which directly impacted on the development of El Campo? Not a SINGLE wealthy Gibraltarian (or better said, “llanito”) lives in Gibraltar. They all live in luxury areas nearby, such as La Alcaidesa or Sotogrande, making the best out of Spanish public services and overall quality of life. What they do keep in Gibraltar however are their bank accounts. Gibraltar is a virus for the region, which has been taking advantage of it, I have seen it with my own eyes over the years. It is an unhealthy relationship and Spain and the EU allowed this to happen. I sincerely hope there is no deal and there is a hard border. So Gibraltarians have to choose to belong to the EU through co-sovereignty or keep their tax heaven living like an island. As I am not nationalistic, I sincerely hope the latter.

@onlineamiga Ай бұрын

So youre complaining about wealthy gibraltarians feeding money into your country by buying nice houses etc? You know they then have to pay taxes for those public services? In the form of IBI, Electric Bills, Water bills etc. 15,000 people cross a day and gain employment in Gibraltar. Thats 15,000 not claiming from Paro or getting involved in drug trarricking. Ask yourself why companies dont want to open up in El Campo. Its not the tax. Its Spanish beurocracy. Trust me i worked with a number of gaming companies in Gibraltar that were very interested in opening up call centres and stuff in Spain especially as the cost of real estate and offices are increidbly expensive in Gib. But were instantly shot down by beurocracy. So instead of blaming the neighbours forSpains sorry state of affairs, perhaps look inwards.

There's been some panic, but mostly carrying on as normal. When the govts of Spain (EU), UK and Gibraltar keep saying that they're within touching distance of a deal, it's bollocks. We've been hearing that for the last 2 years. We're getting fed up and want them to announce whether we're getting a deal or not.

Gibraltar is British territory. We have 14 overseas territory and a commonwealth comprising 56 countries of whom our King is head of state. We're not interested in being part of the EU 27 as it requires that power is taken away from the King and the British people and given to the EU parliament and EU commission. With English being the most spoken language in the EU, we were being flooded by people disproportionately and had a significant stagnation effect on wages, an inability to build the homes and infrastructure needed without being able to do anything other than guess at how many freeloaders we're supposed to accommodate, forcing up rents and house prices to unsustainable levels. When we had a referendum on joining the common market with 5 other countries in 1975 we didn't agree to a political union, for laws to be made elsewhere, to constantly be veto's by an ungrateful EU population, and as a last resort Cameron failed to get a better deal from the EU who didn't think we were serious about leaving, so we left. If we had simply been given a referendum on the Maastricht treaty (joining the EU) then we would have overwhelmingly rejected it as politicians at the time refused to give us the referendum. When they finally caved and gave us the referendum we voted to leave. The British people should never have been dragged in against our will in the first place, which is why we sent UKIP to the EU as the biggest party for over a decade while the EU refused to give us a referendum on exit. It's democracy in action to have left the EU. If you don't like it then you must be a Tory, as Cameron campaigned to remain. Only authoritarians and antidemocratic individuals ignore democracy when it doesn't suite them and demand another vote. See Trump, 1930's Germany, Russia, N Korea, etc.

The referendum was won by leave, then we had two more general elections with Brexit as the topic and again leave won both of those elections. The cognitive dissonance being maintained by bitter remoaners is comical to see, much of the time it appears to be from teenagers who don't understand the two decades which lead up to brexit, which explains why youngsters were so easily taken in by Cameron's campaign to remain, and with no first hand knowledge of what the EU was doing to our country.

Gibraltar isn't part of the UK. The last time we asked them if they wanted to stay a British overseas territory they voted 98% in favour of our protection from the likes of Spain. Spain and their armada tried and failed to invade the UK, as did 1930's Germany. Gibraltar has been a British overseas territory for hundreds of years. So, we continue to protect Gibraltar as all countries protect their overseas territories. Spain, for example has multiple overseas territories including northern Africa, various islands, etc, mostly gained from it's colonial days. Any country who tries to invade Gibraltar will trigger an immediate military response, see the Falkland islands war.

Not to mention that some territories that you think are british, aren't. In example: the Airport was built on Spanish land, where Spain allowed Britain to build a temporary hospital, during two pandemics at Gibraltar. As usual, the UK never abandoned these lands. Great neighbors. The Treaty of Utrech states, very clearly, that Gibraltar has no rights on the sea. Guess what? they are builind the second urban expansion on lands gained to the sea. Not no mention that about an 30% of British-Gibraltar citizens live in Spain, without paying taxes in Spain. Not strange, as Gibraltar is a Tax Heaven (as usual for Britain overseas territories) where lot of Spanish business/citizens hide their (maybe not honest) money. I think we should close the border at least for 10 year. Later, we will see.

Gibraltar is a colony. Since the 1960s, it has been on the United Nations list of "Non-Self-Governing Territories awaiting decolonisation". This colonial vestige is incompatible with resolution 1514 (XV) of 1960 on decolonisation. The United Nations has pointed out that, in the decolonisation process of Gibraltar, the applicable principle is not that of self-determination of peoples but rather that of restitution of Spanish territorial integrity. Spain has repeatedly asked the United Kingdom to enter into negotiations, in compliance with the provisions of the United Nations since 1965, to reach a definitive solution to this dispute. Gibraltar was ceded to the United Kingdom by the Treaty of Utrecht. However, only "the city and castle of Gibraltar together with its port, defences and fortresses belonging to it" were ceded. The isthmus, like the adjacent waters or the overlying airspace, was not ceded by Spain and has always remained under Spanish sovereignty. The continued de facto occupation by the British does not meet the requirements of international law for the acquisition of sovereignty. That is why Spain has always stressed that the occupation of the isthmus is illegal and contrary to international law and, therefore, has always demanded its unconditional return. Spain does not recognise the occupation of the isthmus or the fence as a border.

Gibraltar stopped being Spanish in 1713, under a peace treaty signed following the War of the Spanish Succession. It's been separate for OVER 300 YEARS, with its own culture, language (Llanito) and people. It is not an oppressively occupied colony, and any suggestion otherwise is incredibly ignorant and stupid. What of Ceuta and Melilla? The hypocrisy is absurd. As others have noted, all that Spain would have in reclaiming Gibraltar is a collapsed economy there, ten thousand unemployed Andalusians, and a dramatic fall in revenue to Hacienda. It's jingoistic nonsense that benefits no-one. Gibraltar is used by Spanish politicians as a distraction tactic and to rile up pig-headed nationalism. Are you so easily led?

If a region is rich because of the tax heaven the Brits have created there, or because of the military base they created before that, or because of whatever other reason, that is not an excuse for that territory not to be considered a colony.

This is a thorny issue because Gibraltar's existence is guided by the Treaty of Utrecht (1713), which gave the UK permanent control over Gibraltar. The treaty stipulates in no uncertain terms that, if Gibraltar's status within the Commonwealth changes, Spain must be given first refusal over control of the territory. Also, keep in mind that the Gibraltarians are mostly an ethnic mix of British, Genoese, Maltese, and Cypriot imports (with Spanish inputs as well) and not native to the area, which complicates the issue and adds to the colonialism narrative. So, to sum things up, legally speaking, Gibraltar's only option to maintain the current status quo is to remain as it is. Anything different cancels the treaty and would revert the territory back to Spain.

The Treaty of Utrecht states verbatim that, should HM's government wish to change Gibraltar's status, Spain must be given the right of first refusal. Two, Ceuta and Melilla were established by Portugal and Spain before the concept of "Morocco" even existed. Three, obviously you've never been to either enclave, otherwise you'd know that a significant proportion of each city's population is composed of North Africans with Spanish nationality. In addition, Ceuta and Melilla aren't Tahiti which constantly receives large numbers of people from continental France. The majority of the "Spanish" population has been there longer than the so-called "Gibraltarians." Four, funny how everyone trots out the old chestnut of Ceuta and Melilla to counter Spain's claim to Gibraltar but conveniently ignore Morocco's illegal occupation of the Western Sahara.

There already is a hard border between Gib and Spain. I think what this video is referring to is the fact that Gib red card resident holders are not subjected to passport stamping for entry to Spain to ensure the 90 days in every 180 days rule is adhered to. To be red card holder you need to be born in Gib or resident for a minimum of 10 years. All other british passport holders resident get blue cards and are stamped every time in/out across the border, subject to the 90/180 days rule. EU residents get a green card and have full freedom of movement across the border both ways. From November new entry biometric machines will be operational requiring passport scanning, face scanning and fingerprinting. This is to remove the need to stamp passports for non EU citizens in/out to Spain. Currently Spain has remained silent on whether this will also apply to resident red card holders. If yes, expect reciprocal arrangements on the Gib side for Spanish cross border workers, shoppers and tourists.
