The ink has barely had time to dry on the letter to Donald Tusk to trigger Article 50 and the tories have already claimed the Theresa May would use military force to defend Gibraltar. The EU is meant to stop wars from happening and now it seems we are on a war footing. The EU is right, an agreement with Spain has to be made before all other negotiations can happen. Nobody wants to go back to the days when the border could be closed and Gibraltar relies on airlifts like West Berlin.

I thought we had grown up from all this colonialist mindset?
