If The Uk Went To War With Spain Over Gibraltar What Would Happen To Expatriates Living In Each Of The Kingdoms?

[sandyRoe]

Would they be interned for the duration of hostilities?

[ALCHEMI]

When we win the war, we can do what we like with them!

It is a British Overseas Territory.

because the idea sucks ?

Nice to see people treating this subject seriously

Night all before this deteriorates into the kind of thread that attracted plenty of removals last night, destroying a valid thread (emmie's, if I remember well).

[Jackdaw33]

Don't be silly. He may speak for them but he isn't elected to Westminster on their behalf. Gibraltar has no UK MP.

[Jackdaw33]

Well we all know who leads to the rapid deterioration of threads but fortunately he has been absent all day.

Of course it is EDDIE. Imagine the furore were France required to cede Martinique! In France's original vote to join the C. Market votes were finely balanceverseas possession votes came in

[jourdain2]

^^ I STARTED WRITING THAT over 20 ., aGO - horrible connection. Didn't get to make my whole point - almost past caring by
now - been staring at a screen and hitting computer.
Overseas possessions tipped the French vote to join to 50.5% against 49.5% - and people are claiming that the Brexit vote is narrow! Lost the thread, sorry.

[THECORBYLOON]

EDDIE, Gibraltar falls within the combined region of South West England and Gibraltar fod European Parliament elections but they are not represented in the Commons.

[Khandro]

It doesn't end with France's overseas territory of Martinique only Jourdain, there's also; Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Réunion, Mayotte Saint Martin Saint Barthélemy Saint Pierre and Miquelon and more, some are actual départments of France - and therefore the EU, having representation in the two chambers of the French Parliament and using the euro as currency.

[ummmm]

Gibraltar is not a dump, I was there a few years ago. The part of Spain where you cross the border is a dump though.

[EDDIE51]

Corby there is a Westminster MP, Lindsay Hoyle, who in addition to her constituency 'represents the interests of Gibraltar ' so they do have representation. (though not their own MP as they are too small)

[emmie]

did my thread go because it turned into a bun fight, that wouldn't be fair, as it was a reasonable subject matter.
