in 1704 Gibraltar was captured!
The operation involved British & Dutch naval forces, supported by Catalan Artillery & Mountain Fusiliers troops. The Catalans landed at what is now known as Catalan Bay.
Long Live the British Rock of Gibraltar!

Respect the will of the people!
The people of Gibraltar don't want to be under Spanish sovereignty, or even Spanish co-sovereignty. They have twice in referendums rejected Spain.
Most recently in 2002, and both times by 99 % to 1%.

Es evidente que las barras de medir son diferentes cuando se aplican a Ceuta y Melilla, según España!
No obstante, la Asamblea General de la ONU y democracias modernas, respetan y hacen referencia al principio y desarrollo del derecho al Auto Determinación!
Si fuera español, no sería necesario decirlo, ni hacer el ridículo fotografiándose a metros del Peñón Británico 🇬🇮🇬🇧. Os vais a quedar con las ganas igual q se quedaron vuestros antepasados. Sigue con esa frase absurda y repetida. Lleváis 317 años y contando!

El Peñón bajo soberanía británica es un nido de narcotráfico, contrabando, y sede de todo tipo de chiringuitos y tapaderas para blanquear dinero.
Hay que acabar con esa colonia de parásitos. Jamás renunciaremos a lo que nos pertenece,

@eucopresident
Sadly, you did not condemn, EU Member Spain, when they ordered ‘excessive police force’ against the Catalan protesters during their peaceful Referendum.
Their democratically elected politicians are still incarcerated or in exile. Disgraceful.

No te engañes, España cedió Gibraltar en perpetuidad, y ya van 320 años Británicos y contando!
Eso que “es robado” es la milonga que te han contado.
Nunca subestimes a una nación pequeña, pues a menudo tienen más fuerza de la que aparentan!

Ceded in perpetuity! Gib🇬🇮 is a British Overseas Territory located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, not an island. We are British Citizens.
🇬🇮 has voted on 2 different Referendums, with a landslide, overwhelming majority to remain British! 👇🏼
@JosepBorrellF
La excarcelación de los Presos Políticos Catalanes también sería una buena noticia. Esto está pasando en la Unión Europea mientras vais dando lecciones de democracia a los demás países.
#Hypocrites
Weren’t you shocked and appalled when Spain ordered ‘excessive police force’ against the Catalan protesters during their peaceful Referendum?
#Hypocrite
Like people in the United States, we were shocked and appalled by the death of George Floyd.
We condemn violence and racism of any kind and stress the need for de-escalation of tensions.
Gibraltar on Monday “reluctantly” began applying reciprocal checks on non-UK citizens crossing the border in response to tighter controls implemented by Spain in recent days.
Chief Minister
@FabianPicardo
stands ready to fight against Vox’s attempt to spread lies about Gibraltar. He adds that Gibraltar will also fight against any attempt to incite hatred against Gibraltarians “in every relevant forum and tribunal.”
Why condemn Poland and not Spain? when the Vice President was clearly seen and heard congratulating themselves for sending the Catalan politicians to jail?
I must have missed it....:-p
Poland’s most senior judge accuses the government of a “coup” against the judiciary. PiS government should rule for everybody, not only for its supporters. In a real democracy the rights of the minority are protected against the dictate of the majority

While you & EU supprt the democratic right of Belarusian people to elect their President, you allow Spain to depose the
democratically elected Catalan President from public office, for refusing a banner that championed a universal human right.
#Comical
EU supports the democratic right of Belarusian people to elect their President through free & fair elections.
We condemn repression & violence against people exercising their fundamental rights.
EU is ready to impose more restrictive measures if the situation does not improve.
The plaque commemorates the 2 companies of Catalan troops, 1 Artillery & 1 Mountain Fuiliers who were among the Anglo-Dutch force which captured the Rock in 1704.
The Catalans landed at the then designated Playa de los Catalanes, now known as Catalan Bay.
A leading British human rights lawyer is to take the case of Catalonia’s jailed politicians to the United Nations, arguing that Spain is breaking international law by imprisoning the men over a “non-violent political movement”.
“My government will ensure the security, good governance and development of the Overseas Territories, including by protecting the Falkland Islanders’ and Gibraltarians’ right to determine their political futures”.
Thank you for everything, your Majesty 🇬🇧🇬🇮
You cannot possibly claim that your democracy is an example to the world when you refuse to accept our British Nationality, and still have your ‘medieval’ sovereignty claim on our homeland, Gibraltar 🇬🇮🇬🇧🇬🇮🇬🇧

Querida Fatima, no tiene sentido que defiendas la libertad y soberanía de Ucrania 👇🏼 que fue parte de la URSS hasta 1991, y luego no reconozcas la soberanía Británica de Gibraltar que está bajo control Británico desde 1713?
The Foreign Office has officially deemed two incidents involving Spanish Military aircraft activity by the runway on Tuesday afternoon as incursions, adding it will be protesting officially to Madrid.

Querida Mary Carmen, es importante cuestionar la información que recibimos y no aceptar todo al pie de la letra. La crítica y el pensamiento independiente son claves para formar opiniones informadas!

Cristina Cifuentes, one of the most high-profile figures in the conservative People’s party (PP) led by the prime minister, Mariano Rajoy, had been under pressure to quit over allegations that she faked her master’s degree.
If you claim that you have “One of the highest quality of

Some things to know about

✔ The second country in the world with the greatest regional decentralization
✔ Cultural and linguistic diversity

. The European Union has no right to discriminate Gibraltar & its people, by giving Spain the right to a potential veto over Gibraltar’s future status with the EU, separate to that of the UK!
Nadie pensaría que en este siglo XX1, un país supuestamente democrático, y miembro de la Unión Europea “buscase la soberanía” de un pueblo, que ya ha expresado con mayoría absoluta, incluso ratificado por dos Referendums, el deseo de seguir siendo Británicos
Gibraltar Will Never Accept Shared Sovereignty
The Spanish government seems to think the British overseas territory will sacrifice its sovereignty for the sake of convenience after Brexit. It is wrong.
@OpinadorProfes4
Perhaps it is Spain that’s being lost and reverting to different kingdoms like before…
Franco’s legacy is still very much alive in Spain,p!
Enjoy Madrid 👍🏼
“After Franco’s death, the ministers, officials, soldiers and judges who had underpinned his 41-year dictatorship were allowed not just to continue in public life, but also to shape it.”

Spanish government likes attacking Gibraltar for what they call ‘a fiscal paradise’.
Yet, Canary Islands promote their own ‘fiscal paradise’ saying that they have the best company tax in the European Union - that’s only 4%! How about that?
@GibPanorama
Spain should not be a contender for a £1 billion Royal Navy ship deal, due to issues with Gibraltar.
This, according to union chiefs in the UK, when giving evidence to the Defence Select Committee on how the UK purchases military equipment.
Gurkhas have served with the British Army for centuries, 13 Victoria crosses and countless conflicts later they are as vital today, never more so than in the School of Infantry

El del cántico “Gibraltar español” resulta que no es feliz en España!
“Me resulta difícil ser feliz en España. Soy una persona más feliz fuera de España que dentro. Principalmente porque la gente me respeta. En España, no hay respeto por nada ni por nadie.”
🇪🇸🎙️ Álvaro Morata on his future with the Spanish national team:
"I could be my last tournament with Spain. It’s only a possibility.
I’m not unhappy, but I do find it hard to be happy in Spain. I’m a happier person outside of Spain than inside. Mostly because people respect me.
