What
can one say about the latest mad manifestation of the Gibraltar
issue? Well, here I go . . . The UK government – whatever is said
publicly – will be grateful for a chance to get even partial rid of
the place. As official papers from as long as 60 years ago have
proven, the British government has longed wanted to get shot of it.
Mind you, Spain can be guaranteed – especially under this
cack-handed PP government - to go about things in such an aggressive
way as to raise hackles in the UK media. As with it latest
opportunistic move to make The Rock a roadblock on the highway to a
Brexit deal with the EU. One wonders why Brussels has gone along with
it, raising misplaced passions in both countries. But desperate
times, desperate measures I guess.
For those Brits
resident here and worried about the potential consequences of said
Brexit, here's The Local's advice on how to get Spanish nationality.

best upcoming music festivals of 2017
According
to the annual Made in Country Index, these are the most trusted national 'brands':-
First:
Germany
Second:
Switzerland
Third: The
EU
Fourth:
The UK
Twentieth:
Spain. So, work
to be done here.

I saw the blood waggon in town last week and again thought of giving some. But, as usual these days, everything was in written only in Gallego and this irritates me as I live in Spain. So I didn't.
Nutters
corner:
- Pat Robertson: MS has a “spiritual component” to it and the cause can be “demonic” in nature. Rebuking those demons in the name of Jesus is part of the cure.
- Bryan Fischer: It's the worst example of cultural appropriation ever: LGBTs have stolen the rainbow from God. It’s His. He invented it. Give It Back.

It's worse than I thought - we're also getting slammed on Twitter. |
