I think the UK should start standing up for themselves. This year isn't the best for them and they don't seem to care that much.

Gibraltar is as British as Ceuta and Melilla are Spanish. Morocco demands those spanish exclaves back yet spain ignore them, so why the **** should we give Gibraltar back?

I think anymore than what's been done would be a disproportionate response. I agree we should do all we can to keep Gibralta from the Spanish and it looks like the Gibralta and British governments are upset about this and will be complaining. The Navy did the responsible thing of turning them back. Anymore would of just been uncalled for.
Gibralta is a particularly important oversea territory, it serves as the gateway to the Mediterrenean and was important in World War II like other territories in the Mediterrenean.
A lot of people are saying including political people are saying that because Britain sent a HMS which led the Spanish to retreat from the waters that it could lead to a war with Gibralta after the past when Britain went to war with the Argentinians for the falklands.

The Spanish wouldn't invade Gibraltar, let's not get stupid.
we should go steal their sun
They could if they was stupid enough to do so, but surely they would know the UK wouldn't let that happen.
HMS Sabre or the Royal Navy was doing its job by protecting the British overseas territory. I wouldn't expect it to turn into a war like the Falklands, but it does seem the UK and Gibraltar are pretty annoyed at the situation.

It's not like Britain is amazing, we need the EU anyway. I don't think you realize.
