Where in the definition of colony does it say that. It is only adjacent to Spain because the Castilians and Aragonians stole it off the Moors. Surely it's adjacent to Spain because it's...err, um...adjacent to Spain? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdog Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 12 hours ago, Peppino Impastato said: All colonialism is wrong, illegal and should be reversed wherever practically possible. Gibraltar is pure colonialism, in the 21st century. It's abhorrent, and the UK would and has gone to war over things like that. It's just wrong, and literally only British people can't see it. Catalonia is being held against its will, and is a territory controlled directly by another, the textbook definition of a colony. Catalonias latest indy poll is 40% yes, and it's historically goes between 40-50 so I don't think you can say it's being held against its will. And as for colonialism, who decides what is and what isn't colonialism?..should the billion people from the Americas of non indigenous decent leave? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antlion Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Media crackpot Christine Hamilton is on The Wright Stuff at the moment discussing stockpiling food. She claims we don’t need luxury items or fruit from Southern Europe; we can adapt what we eat and “stick with British apples”. This barmy b*****d is the typification of the SOVEREIGNTY* at any cost Brexiteer. * But not you, Scotland. Don’t even think about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Spanish but was Moorish a lot longer than it was Spanish. And it has now been "British" longer than it was Spanish and the people living there seem to be happy to be "British". My point is to claim it belongs to Spain because it shares the same peninsula or that colonialism is ok if you're the nearest Country to it like Pep has claimed is farcical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Regardless of where you stand on the whole historical precedent vs geographical proximity debate, Spain's position is unbelievably hypocritical considering that they have Ceuta, Melilla and other communities on the Moroccan mainland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EU legalised unchecked slaughter of polar bears and provided millions of Euros in grants for hunting parties.

A very poor advert. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
