Nobody Expects The Spanish Incursion: UK Summons Spanish Ambassador Over Latest Gibraltar Row
The Foreign Office has summoned the Spanish Ambassador amid a standoff over a ship that entered Gibraltar waters.
- *U.K. CITES `ONGOING INCURSION' INTO BRITISH GIBRALTAR WATERS
- *U.K. SUMMONS SPANISH AMBASSADOR OVER `CONCERNS' ABOUT GIBRALTAR
Sky reports, the Spanish survey ship has been in Gibraltar waters for more than 18 hours and repeatedly refused direct orders from the Royal Navy to leave. As a result, the Foreign Office has summoned Spanish Ambassador Federico Trillo to try and resolve the situation.
One can't help but wonder if this is Rajoy's cunning plan to get the youth back to work... conscription?

They probably ran out of fuel, and couldn't afford to refuel.
They thought they hit Ireland again!
And somebody has got to do it here:

Wait... don't they know that they're both predominately white?
It's too bad so many ZHers can't see the significance of this - Spain is asserting to reclaim The Rock, and in doing so, vaporize the final militarily significant fragment of the old British Empire.
The Brits are being shown to be the toothless bulldog they have become. Almost one hundred years after WWI, the collapse of the Empire is nearly complete. Britian is nearly at the point of total irrelevence.
The transistion of power from the West to the East contiues unabated; all that is left is for Obama to render the final blow to America and finish off the last Euro-centric power on Earth.

MarsInScorpio: Thankyou. Much appreciated.
They're busy surveying the remains of the last Spanish navy.
I think "Falklands War Part 2: The Other Empire Strikes Back" sounds like a fantastic idea!
Unfortunately for Spain, when (if) that (ever) happens, it will blowback on them, when Moroccan claims over Ceuta, Melilla, etc., step up a level - and there's still the Portuguese claim over Olivença, backed by the Final Act of the Congress of Vienna...
EscapeKey re "They probably ran out of fuel ..." :
Exactly. They can't actually afford to do anything, they're broke. Aren't they? Aren't they?
British and a scourge on the planet. Rothschild's domain....
British filth. Long die the king and queen. I mean live.
Over.
Tosser. I mean Tosser...
Over.
FUCK YOU! Ya Brit Fuck!
Over.
Yer still a tosser.
Ain't nothing gonna change that.
EU civil war
Highly unlikely, but your optimism is appreciated.
more bread and circus to distract the spanish people from on-going collapse?
Nothing works as welll as a nationalistic war . . .

The German side wins this time, nicht?
For this one time, Germans will get to keep Mallorca and Ibiza (which they already own).
I truly hope and pray that no more blood is spilled between European races.
but other blood spilling is OK?
You're talking about bulls or bears?
I think their cargo is the Irish youth they told to leave
Surveying what?
Nah, just chasing a mackerel school and those fuckers were biting
Everybody knows that the Spanish have an 18 hour siesta every day which is why they are in this fucking mess so i'm sure they'll move once they've had their compulsory lie down.
I fart in your general direction, Sir!
Non! That's the French!
More a comment on the English reaction(ala Python, who are Brits, right?)
Oui!
Spain should 'launch' an Inquiry.
Bullish for (civil service) jobs.
You mean a Spanish inquisition? ;-)
As I recall, Phillip II tried to take them on and things didn't work out so good for him.
Paging Admiral Nelson to the Navy Blue phone. Admiral Nelson to the blue phone please.
British Hooligans to the Spanish Pub please.
sink it, let 'em survey the bottom from up close
You know why Spanish ships are built with glass bottoms right?
To see the old Spanish Navy.
(buh dum ching!)
Did they say Gibraltar....or Trafalgar....?
Coulda sworn they said Malvinas.

Must cause a distraction for the sheep. we don't want them talking about the horrible economic conditions.
Exactly Doctor.
Same thing Franco used to do when the serfs got restless.
There is so much lost ordinance in Gibraltars extensive tunnel systems , you really wouldn't
want to starting shooting around there.They found 100 tons of black powder in one forgotten gallery when
I was there.Great pitol range right on top for shooting.
The locals who are are Spanish,hate the Spanish.verry funny to hear.
If you've ever been to the rock, you'd know the right answer is 'who cares'.
That aside, it is an odd little place.
Why not just bomb the shit out of both ends and widen the gap some more and end the pissing contests?
Its something just like this, some seemingly insignificant out-of-the-blue event that could topple the first domino and begin the long awaited downward cascade everywhere.
I'm not saying this is it, but that was my first thought when I read this story just now. Yea, I feel like the whole world is on pins and needles right now and just looking for the first spark.
Oh yes, it's the Spanish Armada.
Hey, it's a start! Next thing ya know there's a whole bunch of topless hot Spanish chicks invading Gibraltar and it's all over for the Brits there!
Summons this, bitch!
Over.
"Oi, get your filthy hands off my desert!"
"What 'e say?"
Brezhnev took Afghanistan.
Begin took Beirut.
Galtieri took the Union Jack.

Took a cruiser with all hands.
Apparently, to make him give it back...

WTF is GB doing there anyway?
GB is there because Spain tends to lose battles to claim the Rock.
WTF is America doing in the Middle East?
Spanish government attempting to divert Spanish people's attention from economic woes by drumming up nationalism - things MUST be getting PRETTY BAD in Spain.
Exactly!
Right from the Argentine play book.
Yeah, except they all moved to the Catskills,NY.
And, please...What are they going to do with the water? Hijack it? Steal it and export it to the Vatican which will then turn it into holy water and sell it for a huge mark up? Or might they piss in it, in which case the UK will have no choice but to respond with a nuclear attack on Madrid.....
Hmmm...Gibraltar has been British for over 300 years. Now, you Yanks, after your rebellion some paltry 230 years ago, we want our colony back, lol.
Having said that, our Moroccan friends across the water would dearly like their Spanish enclaves in North Africa back, Ceuta and Melilla!
But the Sahrawi population of Spanish Sahara, now occupied by the Moroccans, would also like them to kindly leave.
In breaking news, Holland would like large portions of Belgium given back to them.
I am a direct decendent of Adam and Eve... ergo, I own the world!
God gave "your" World to the monarchs.
The Queen had three sons. The second and third of which were Prince Charles and Prince Andrew. The first was hidden away at birth, turns out he was my father.
Gibraltar has been occupied by english scum for 300 years. It is as british as curry.
btw, NZ is also occupied by english scum. the 3rd colonisation is well underway...particuarly in the public sector and human resources rackets.
The Spanish actions are probably a distraction-thing but bear in mind that if an EU country is attacked, the rest of the EU are bound to defend it. :)
Checkmate.
Hey Spain, I'm outta work...need any mercs to slaughter english scum? get in touch.
Don't even think of calling out Nelson. He's bogged down with Health & Safety regs:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
LORD NELSON:
Hardy: Health and Safety have closed the crow's nest, sir.
No harness and they said that rope ladders don't meet regulations.
They won't let anyone up there until proper scaffolding can be erected.
Nelson: Then get me the ship's carpenter without delay, Hardy.
Hardy: He's busy knocking up a wheelchair access to the fo'c'sle Admiral.
Nelson: Wheelchair access? I've never heard anything so absurd.
Hardy: Health and safety again, sir. We have to provide a barrier-free
environment for the differently-abled.
Nelson: Differently-abled? I've only one arm and one eye and I refuse
even to hear mention of the word. I didn't rise to the rank of admiral
by playing the disability card.
Hardy: Actually, sir, you did. The Royal Navy is under represented in the
areas of visual impairment and limb deficiency.
Nelson: Whatever next? Give me full sail. The salt spray beckons.
Hardy: A couple of problems there too, sir. Health and safety won't let
the crew up the rigging without hard hats. And they don't want anyone
breathing in too much salt - haven't you seen the adverts?
Nelson: I've never heard such infamy. Break out the cannon and tell the
men to stand by to engage the enemy.
Hardy: The men are a bit worried about shooting at anyone, Admiral.
Nelson: What? This is mutiny!
Hardy: It's not that, sir. It's just that they're afraid of being charged
with murder if they actually kill anyone. There are a couple of Legal-aid
lawyers on board, watching everyone like hawks.
Nelson: Then how are we to sink the Frenchies and the Spanish?
Hardy: Actually, sir, we're not.
Nelson: We're not?
Hardy: No, sir. The French and the Spanish are our European partners now.
According to the Common Fisheries Policy, we shouldn't even be in this
stretch of water. We could get hit with a claim for compensation.
Nelson: But you must hate a Frenchman as you hate the devil.
Hardy: I wouldn't let the ship's diversity co-coordinator hear you saying
that sir. You'll be up on disciplinary report.
Nelson: You must consider every man an enemy, who speaks ill of Your King.
Hardy: Not any more, sir. We must be inclusive in this multicultural age.
Now put on your kevlar vest; it's the rules. It could save your life!
Nelson: Don't tell me: health and safety. Whatever happened to rum, sodomy
and the lash?
Hardy: As I explained, sir, rum is off the menu! And there's a ban on
Corporal punishment.
Nelson: What about sodomy?
Hardy: I believe that is now legal, sir.

I look forward to many more posts from Smacker...
What have the English ever done for us?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc7HmhrgTuQ
hmmmm, cuss words...just let 'em roll...
Britain... will have to chose.. Euro or Dollar.. live or dead..
Spain needs money.
The Strait of Gibraltar is a strategic shipping route.
The British have territorial waters there that prevent Spain from heavily taxing every ship that passes through it.
Spain has %60 youth unemployment.
Converting unemployed youth into soldiers who can secure a huge international tax/tarrif flow from all oil and goods shipping through the Strait is pretty much a done deal.
In case Britain would lose Gibraltar, they could sponsor a Moroccan annexation of Ceuta, thereby creating a passage via Moroccan waters. A side effect would probably be rising jihadism in Morocco, but then again, I don't think the U.K. and U.S. would have anything against that.
The Spanish Survey Ship is of course "The New Spanish Armada" . The New Spanish Armada is fitted with a glass bottom so that it can view the Old Spanish Armada! Ha Ha..
Well it is silly of course, this fuss about a rock but perhaps Spain should return the enclaves they hold in North Africa before they make demands about Gibraltar.
So this is what the Great Armada of Spain has come to? Well, you wouldn't find another Francis Drake from the U.K., so just go ahead.
