This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Allies defeating Hitler and the Fascist ideology in WW2. Especially for Britain, since they believed that Hitler and the Fascist governments of Germany, Italy, and Spain would brutally occupy the empire and make them speak German. Britain put its whole status as a world power on the line to stop Mustache Man, which included keeping the tiny colony of Gibraltar from being taken over by Franco.
Franco never could take it over since the history of the Spanish Reconquista of Gibraltar is just bluffing and all talk and no action. Still, the UK had it after the Falangists were ousted in Spain and when the EU was trying to screw the country over throughout Brexit.
I’m pointing this out since 80 years later the UK is going to begin the process of turning it into an open border doorway for the EU to send migrants to the UK with a new border agreement.
The UK and Spain have struck a “historic” deal over Gibraltar’s future, ending the long-running dispute over the territory after Brexit and easing the movement of people and goods across the border with Spain.
The Foreign Office said London and Madrid had reached an agreement that “resolves the last major unresolved issue from Brexit”, while the Spanish foreign minister said it brought down “the last wall” on the continent.
The deal will lead to the introduction of Eurostar-style dual passport checks at Gibraltar’s airport and eliminate checks on people and goods crossing the land border between Spain and Gibraltar.
The agreement does not affect Britain’s sovereignty over Gibraltar, and the Foreign Office said it included a clause to this effect agreed by all sides. British military facilities in Gibraltar will remain operationally autonomous.
However, it will apply Schengen rules to Britons arriving in Gibraltar who are not resident there. This means they could be turned away at the border if they have already spent 90 days in the Schengen zone over a 180-day period.
David Lammy, the UK foreign secretary, said the breakthrough delivered “a practical solution after years of uncertainty” and that the UK’s commitment to Gibraltar “remains as solid as the Rock itself”.
José Manuel Albares, the Spanish foreign affairs minister, and Fabian Picardo, the chief minister of Gibraltar, hailed it as a “historic agreement” in posts on Bluesky and X.
So in this deal, British citizens who don’t live in the territory will be deported after a certain time, but EU citizens can just flood it without issue. This is the great reward of ensuring that democracy and liberalism won in 1945.
This year alone is, for a reason, a sign for the UK to give up what is left of its overseas territories. First it was Indian Island, and now it’s going to be Gibraltar.
It probably has to do with their foreign secretary being a black man.
Either way, this piece of land Britain kept for so long and would send troops to die in order to prevent a Francoist invasion is now just a brown shithole that will see millions of Black people migrate to the UK. Ending in the way most of the prized possessions of the empire that it was taken without a single shot.
