The chief minister of Gibraltar is to celebrate Brexit by ceremonially removing the EU flag and raising the Commonwealth Colours alongside the Union Flag and flag of Gibraltar.
The Rock, as Gibraltar is colloquially known, has been British Overseas Territory since 1713 after its capture by the Anglo-Dutch alliance during the War of Spanish Succession.
The two mile wide island is a strategic gateway to the Mediterranean Sea, a ‘choke point’ which enabled The British Empire to control of those coming in and going out and famously regarded as a vital asset in the British effort during the Second World War.
Spain has persistently attempted to snatch and annex the island.
After Labour’s Jack Straw entered surreptitious negotiations to hand the island to Spain his treasonous plot was thwarted after a 2002 referendum resulted in 98.2% of Gibraltar’s inhabitants voting to remain British.
It’s also been a favourite topic of debate from traitorous liberals and leftists in Britain who have been tireless in their efforts to destroy everything great about Britain, which is envied the world over.
“These people are living in the past,” said BNP spokesman .
“They think we’re living in the old colonial days and nations can simply seize sovereign territory from other nations.
“Gibraltar is British territory, it’s no longer up for debate.”
The Commonwealth, a 52-state membership group predominantly made of former members of the British Empire, emerged in the form it knows today in 1949.The symbolic Head of the Commonwealth is Queen Elizabeth II, but the position is not hereditary.Upon the Queen’s passing, the membership of the Commonwealth would have to decide whether to recognise Prince Charles as the new head or to select a different leader.
The nations that make up the Commonwealth presently account for a fifth of the globe’s whole landmass, and nearly one-third of all people on earth.
