Boating the Rock

Some weird little man at Conservative Home has advocated sending the Royal Navy to protect Gibraltar, despite the fact that Gibraltar has shown itself a pessimistic, unpatriotic, bureaucratic and crypto-Nazi little colony by voting to remain in the European Union. The strategist in question, a certain Luke Coffey, is American and thus himself a foreigner of sorts, although this did not prevent his being employed as a special adviser by the vole-brained Liam Fox during his tenure as the Department of Wog-Bombing's Minister for Werritty. As befits one who has rubbed brain-cells with such illustrious company, Coffey apparently believes that waving the national willy at Spain will induce the other Euro-wogs to think twice before allowing any discussion of joint sovereignty over the lump of stone. It remains as yet unclear whether Coffey thinks Mariano Rajoy's beard would be best singed by the Royal Navy's aircraft-free carriers or by those submarines which are so astute that one of them was just about able to detect Scotland by crashing into it.
