The UK representative gets up and says that the relationship that now exists
between the UK and Gib is no longer of a colonial nature. That the UN view
of colonialism is steeped in hisotical persepctives of what colonialism was,
and this exists no longer. Furthermore the "fly in the ointment" as regards
Gib is the claim by Spain which insists and rests on "the principle of
territorial integrity" which the UK neither accepts nor recognises.
The Spanish bloke blew several fuses, and reiterated all that which had been
said to be no longer of any relevance. For example - the Brussels Process is
alive, when it has been pronounced dead by the UK (and it takes two to
tango, lest we forget).
The UN decides, like UEFA, to postpone a decision on Gib given it can no
longer reiterate a cosy statement which has so far been reissued year upon
year after the ceremonial dusting-off.
Boy, are we living in interesting times!
