Tony Blair tried to sell Gibraltar

Post by Clinton Huxley » Tue Jan 24, 2012 10:41 am

Apparently. Offered it to Spain in return for support against the French and the Germans in EU negotiations. Outrageous! Gibraltar is self-evidently British and forever so its people wish it to remain.

If I was PM I'd pretend to offer Gibraltar to Spain, just to cause apoplectic meltdown amongst telegraph and daily mail readers.

Trying to sell it to one country is illegal, it needs a competitive tender - or eBay.

One rocky outcrop, all mod-cons. Current owner looking to downsize. Suit expansionist imperial power. Offers in region of £5 billion considered.
