"Dark Clouds Have Silver Linings" - Gibraltar In A Post Brexit World

Sometimes statements of the obvious are necessary. Gibraltar did not want Brexit. To be exact, 96% of those who voted in Gibraltar in the referendum, voted to remain part of the EU. This is therefore obvious. The last few weeks have seen an escalating in the posturing over Gibraltar and its place post Brexit. These have ranged from the measured to the bizarre, passing briefly by the somewhat offensive "Up Yours Senors!" (one can always trust The Sun to bring its erudite commentary to any argument).

For those who have missed this, let me encapsulate.

• Gibraltar is British and has been for over 300 years
• Spain wants Gibraltar back (it used to be theirs before they ceded it to the UK in perpetuity.)
