Brexiteers on Gibraltar: "Spain ceded Gibraltar in perpetuity!" Brexiteers on Exit Deal: "No international agreement can last in perpetuity!" And, bless, they do not realise the contradiction.

-
NI voted for GFA but Brexiteers are willing to overlook that bit of self-determination.
-
GFA is between the U.K. and the Irish Government supported by SFIRA nothing to do with Brexit.
-
Voters in NI approved it a referendum. Read a book.
-
So did voters in RoI. That's why it's an international treaty lodged with the UN.

Gibraltar, NI & Scotland all preferred to remain part of the UK back when it was a major player in the EU. Spain couldn’t do much about Gibraltar given mutual EU membership with the UK. All bets are now off regarding all these territories...

Gibraltar isn't part of the UK, it's a colony (though we give our remaining colonies some euphemistic name instead).

they're not part of the UK, Julia.

It's a British, (UK) overseas territory. If they weren't part of the UK they wouldn't have been given the vote.

No. They're an anomaly. Not UK.
-
Wrong. They are a British overseas territory. Fact.
-
That means they are not in the UK. British Overseas Territories are not in the UK. Hence no MPs.
-
Never said they were IN the UK, but they are PART of the UK. They are part of the Commonwealth as part of the UK. Keep up, and learn what 'British' means. Cheers

Julia's original claim that Gibraltar is "part of the UK" in exactly the same way that Scotland and Northern Ireland are, so you're not defending that any more?
-
They voted to be part of the UK which has sovereignty. What is it about that which you don't understand?

They're not part of the UK (overseas depedancy) they have no right of settlement in the UK only FOM which ends 29th March, which they didn't vote for. Still Spain will look after them and give them back their FOM to Europe!
-
Spain can't unilaterally give third country citizens FOM in the other 26 member states.
-
Up to Spain who gets a Spanish passport. Not blue, but comes with FOM.
-
Ah, I wasn't thinking of that scenario. Is Spain proposing it?
-
Haven’t heard it. I was just pointing it out.
