Gibraltar voted by 96% to remain in the EU. So presumably we don't really care what they want now anyway, just like the ****ing Scots.

The Spanish have already offered dual citizenship to all Gilbraltarians in exchange for joint sovereignty of the territory, which means the locals stay Brits and in the EU. Which is what they say they want.

That's funny because my mate and his family are from Gibraltar and doesn't want Spain to be involved with them (sovereignty). I don't know where you got that info from?
Maybe they want their cake and eat it as well?

And no border for Northern Ireland. I just know Junckers is going to bring the Falklands into it somehow

Info from your favourite Breitbart. The majority feeling was that they want to stay British and remain in the EU. Perhaps your mate and his family are not representative. Did they vote for Brexit?

Northern Irish residents (and the children of anyone born in the whole island of Ireland) are automatically entitled to an Irish passport if they want one. And a third of the Northern Irish population have taken up the offer.

That figures. I'm surprised it's only a third, I would have thought all the Nationalist would take it up. Perhaps this will be a catalyst for a United Ireland - and done with consent, I'm all for it. Somehow I doubt it though.

Was reading about this the other day. A recent poll had only 3% of Protestants supporting a united Ireland, not very surprising, but also only 27% of Northern Irish Catholics. I suspect the economy would have to be seriously knackered by Brexit to get the numbers in place. But like you, if done by consent, great.

So it would pay for all UK women to have their babys in Ireland.

What would have been the benefit of that?

And the £ plumets again, even a day before the UK's big formal bye bye letter, driven partly by Scotlands vote for a new referendum on leaving the UK,analysts say. The markets obviously think the lights have gone out in the heads of the people driving to a little England,

Quite variable depending on the currency you compare it with, but not so bad today/this week. Hopefully the analysts who say the worst scenarios from Brexit are already factored in, and can't see it falling much more re Brexit, are correct.
 
Poor Karen Millen...Deeply devastated at the thought of losing her £3 million mansion after being declared bankrupt over an unpaid £6 million tax bill (after her involvement in yet another tax avoidance scheme).....my heart bleeds for her.

I wouldn't know. I never ask that sort of question but he was adamant that he was British. As I said Cake/eat it maybe.

FFS mate!! Our intelligence agencies will never, ever let innocent people die by withholding information. Even if the government were to propose such a thing (they won't), the agencies involved would continue anyway.
It is a fact, however, that the Countries on mainland Europe rely heavily on our intelligence services and we share intelligence with and get intelligence from other sources by and large known as the five eyes (UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand).

Isn't 'US intelligence' an oxymoron?
