Brexit voters seem to get offended when any analysis is conducted on who voted for Brexit and who voted against Brexit. That isn't rhetoric against voters, it's analysis.

i think we worked out who voted against brexit without the fancy analysis

spain is close enough to bomb and there is always the nuclear option, we don't need a task force just a brush and shovel to clear up the mess

if we attack after lunch they will all be sleeping .

Much more preferable to have jaw jaw rather then your scenario of war war.

Some people are probably feeling that the so-called Project Fear (not the one about Turkey joining the EU, the other Project Fear) was quite mild by comparison!

Mainly because we don't have a Navy any longer.... No way could we do anything like that again.

However Brits are more worried about Spanish holidays than the sovereignty of Gibraltar. There'd be an outcry it they were in jeopardy, not to mention the expats. 1.2 million of them in EU countries, be a tight squeeze if they all had to come back.

Unintended and unforeseen consequences - we'll be hearing about a lot of them in the next couple of years. 'Project Fear' will look like a nice dream. Still, carry on regardless !

I think the more unhelpful Tories need to think twice about making stupid pronouncements from the sidelines making it more difficult for their own leader. Howard has no role in Government and yet feels free to go on TV and make stupid comments about war. Same with comments about yachts, passports and other trivia. May must feel surrounded by children liable to making messes she then has to clean up.

Two NATO members don't go to war one another, that's not a discussion.

She would have got a better deal from Europe than Cameron and the UK would have remained in the EU.

Perish the thought! The other (way better) scenario is that she would have got us out sooner.

lol, there we have it, the Brexit argument.

We can have sovereignty, for sure, not that we ever lost it. The fact we might be considerably worse off is an irrelevance.
