I dont know Barry, I dont know what a “hypodcrite” is. Is it anything like a “shitout?”
Love this stuff. Oxtail too. They also do a nice line in Tomato with Chilli but my local Tescos seem always to be out of stock. Grrr.
Ah of course. It wasn’t a BIG DAY.
Article 127 will be a big day.
Until someone finds the next Treaty.
Such as Open Skies - no summer vacations for you lot in 2019!
Hopefully so many more of these will get drip fed by attention seeking Politicos and Biznizzmen we’ll end up with posters getting their positions in a twist
Despite a cold start, this has simmered into a souper thread.
Are we back to Vichyssoise?

See. A lot of people would say that this is a problem. I see it as an opportunity. We should clean up Turd Bay and make it the new English Riviera!
And Pap pitches a new one series TV Reality show in the Soup thread.
Will you guys still be allowed to import Minestrone post Brexit?
Phew. that IS a relief, after all the sabre rattling and nonsense from the Telegraph today about next weeks invasion of Spain, I am really relieved that once again the Royal Navy is prepared and sending their latest tech to the Med
Gary is protecting his bars no doubt, when Spain give back their interests in North Africa we can discuss, Gibraltar was gifted theirs were taken.
We took Gibraltar by force Barry.
Gibraltar was captured by the British Fleet in 1704 during the war of the Spanish Succession. On 4th August 1704, an Anglo-Dutch fleet under the command of Admiral George Rooke took Gibraltar from the Spanish. From dawn on that day and for the next five hours, some 15,000 canons were fired from the fleet into the city. The invaders, led by the English majority, landed the same morning and not surprisingly encountered little opposition. © Official Government of Gibraltar Under the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713 Gibraltar was ceded to Britain. This treaty stated “the town, castle and fortifications were to be held and enjoyed for ever without any exception or impediment whatsoever.”
It’s not really a gift when you have to kill and bully to receive it. In fact, quite like Spain and North Africa.

Thats life, it was also over 300 years ago, I’ll use the word forgo then? Ok?
You failed to mention Spanish possesions.
That’s life??? And yet you go into one when some you don’t like do the same thing. In future, when there is a terrorist atrocity, can we expect you not to post because “that’s life?”

Thats life as in how life was 300 years ago!
Yeah, ok. Just found your choice of word amusing.
I’ve highlighted the bit were i mentioned Spain(but as you have already pointed out, that was a different time, with different rules). Might want to get your eyes tested(unless you consciously ignore certain bits, for certain reasons).
So you must agree then Spanish claims are not only wrong but hypocritical?
Certainly hypocritical and wrong in the sense that only the people living there should decide that. Not the Spanish or us.
It’s a great play by the EU though. Can’t wait to see what they do next. I think it’s going to be like a cat when it catches a bird and breaks one of it’s wings, but refuses to kill it. Just slowly tortures it until the bird is a mess that doesn’t know if it’s coming or going. Sit back and enjoy(if you’re that way inclined).
Its obvious, opportunistic and basic, they have been bleating over Gibraltar for years, when they hand over Ceuta and Melilla we’ll discuss Gibraltar, the Moroccans have wanted them back for years.
How long has Morocco been in the EU? Must’ve missed that.
Call it what you like, it was a much better opening gambit than ours.
Spains bleating now has some weight behind it. You haven’t even noticed your wings broken yet. Must be all that adrenaline coursing through your body.
Could be thats reason the Chinese inflict so much cruelty on animals before they eat, another cultural fact for you.
If that makes you happy then so be it, I thought Spain bumming the EU for a wedge in on Gibraltar was obvious, our trade with the EU will railroad that I suspect, it could be argued to finish parts of Morocco are in the EU by Spanish occupation.
