Spain complaining about Gibraltar again

Spain is complaining about Gibraltar again. This time it's over the
fact that the government included Gibraltar in the South-West England
region of the UK for purposes of the European Elections.

The British government says it had to find a way of giving them a vote
to comply with a European Human Rights Court ruling. The Spanish
government says Gibraltar could have had its own vote without being
included in the UK. The British government says Gibraltar is too small
for its own vote.

The Spaniards have taken the British government to the European Court of
Justice in Luxembourg.

I wonder how long it will be before they start proceedings to have
Gibraltar included in a Spanish region and then part of Spain itself.
Knowing our friends on the continent they would give it to them and
Traitor Blair would roll over and let them have it.
