I suppose another benefit is that behind the scenes it keeps people in work who have to sort out the messy bits that were never finished.
Oops Spanish airforce have caused a bit of a kufuffle last week.
New chapter of diplomatic tension between Spain and the United Kingdom on behalf of Gibraltar when talks are held at the highest level to try to reach an agreement that allows the British colony to fit into the European Union and the Schengen area after Brexit.
On this occasion the complaint comes from the United Kingdom and it is not because of an alleged incursion of the Civil Guard into what it considers British territorial waters but that Spain does not recognise taking advantage of the Treaty of Utrecht. According to Gibraltar’s public radio and television, GBC, it is the alleged “incursion” of a Spanish military plane, events that, according to complaints, took place on Friday afternoon, when the military aircraft flew over the Peñón airport, in the hands of the British Ministry of Defence.
