Or to Spain re Gibraltar? Or to Dublin re the IRA?<br /><br />Come to think of it, all those lovely "refugees" who invade our territory from the EU. Should we just "return" them to the only part of the EU with whom we share a land border?

She kept both a Webley .45 and a 'Flit' bug sprayer by the door to see-off the terrs. Don't ask. My brother was born in BMH Famagusta. I would be rather upset in the circumstances to see an Iranian missile targeted on a UK sovereign base there. It would be almost personal. <br /><br />Unlike Tony Blair and Alastair Campbell's make-believe Saddam threats, the crane-hangers can actually get a number of home-made missiles and drones into the air.

Note, not that it didn't happen, just whether is can be proven.<br /><br />Yep, justice abroad might be crap (see Carlos Goshn) but surely everyone knows that if you don't visit bongo countries without prior thought for the consequences!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08141297358269863170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-69261531230543389902020-01-04T10:43:43.501+00:002020-01-04T10:43:43.501+00:00FFS !
