FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Another wearing a shirt of Spain’s national football team screamed “Gibraltar
Español” as the image of the Queen appeared on the face of the Rock.
Back in Gibraltar residents were thrilled at the light show. “I think it’s
glorious,” said Salvador Baldacchimo, 74, looking up at the image. “It
should be there all the time, only bigger.”
Nodding his head towards Spain he added: “And I don’t care a jot what they
think over there. I bet they are already punishing us for it at the border.”
Indeed, at the frontier with Spain, the queue of cars snaked towards from
Gibraltar towards La Linea as customs officers stopped each car for a full
search, a lengthy process that began the moment the cliff was illuminated.
“It’s the typical reaction by Spanish authorities whenever we do something to
annoy them,” commented William Maclaren, 21. “But the Rock looks really
great, I love it, especially the fact that its pointing that way,” he said
gesturing towards Spain.
The last minute decision to include the light show in the schedule of the
three-day Royal visit came a day after Gibraltar’s Chief Minister declared
that residents on the Rock feel “under attack from Spain”.
“We value are Britishness above all else,” Fabian Picardo, who was elected in
December, told the Daily Telegraph adding that the territory would not be
told be influenced by the Spanish when it came to celebrating its allegiance
to the British crown.
“We will not let Spain dictate when our Sovereign or her representatives can
visit. She is the Queen of Gibraltar and we are very proud of that fact.”
The visit by the Queen’s youngest son and his wife Sophie Rhys-Jones has been
met with an outpouring of patriotism on the 2.6 square mile territory home
to 28,000 people. The couple have been greeted by flag waving and applause
during their busy schedule touring the territory.
But the Spanish government made an official complaint over the visit
expressing its “upset and concern” and later saying it came at an
“inopportune moment”. It also banned Queen Sofia from attending a Diamond
Jubilee lunch at Windsor Castle in protest.
Spain still claims sovereignty over the peninsula which was ceded to Britain
under the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht.
The visit comes amid an ongoing conflict on fishing rights in waters
surrounding the Rock and rows over lengthy queues at the border imposed by
Spanish authorities.
Social networks were buzzing with complaints over plans to project the Queen’s
image on the Rock.
“A gigantic image of the Queen of England is to projected on the Rock. It’s
the latest indignity and a show of contempt,” raged one Spaniard on a
Facebook page called “Gibraltar, Español” which demands that the territory
be returned to Spain.
“We need a strong response from the Spanish government in the face of this
insult,” wrote another.
