The idea of a British warship supposedly menacing Spain is ludicrous. Is it meant to bomb Cadiz? Will its guns lift a rush-hour tailback in a colony that most Britons regard as awash with tax dodgers, drug dealers and right-wing whingers? The Gibraltarians have rights, but why British taxpayers should send warships to enforce them, even if just "on exercise", is a mystery.
I have negative blitz spirit. I’m not a keep-calm-and-carry-on-er – I’m a moaner, a complainer, a whinger. I’m also a cynic and a misanthrope; I hate crowds, big events, joining in, enforced fun.
