The border chaos

Queues returned to the border with La Linea last week. The word was to suppress the smuggling of tobacco.
Maybe so, but last week, British Prime Minister David Cameron stopped the hopes of Spain with the "Brussels agreement" style of negotiation over the future of Rock. Last week, the British Ambassador in Spain, Giles Paxman, reiterated the same message in Madrid. So it was, or tobacco PP government in Madrid had his cage rattled his saber rattle trying to back?

Cameron was cleaner than any British prime minister that the negotiations on sovereignty will occur only with the consent of Gibraltar, Gibraltar will be represented as a full member of the negotiations and if the deal is done it must be approved by the people of Gibraltar in a referendum. Indeed, the Court considers that the right to self-determination belongs to the people, not government.

Not only is the rock of Gibraltar and visitors have suffered, but, of course, thousands of Spanish workers, who were trying to get home. They expressed their anger at the media saying that it's not only cars and motorcycles that have been affected, but cyclists too, as Guardia Civil were looking for illegal tobacco products. If you believe in coincidences, it can be seen the long lines at the border as the British say "no" purely by chance. Many of us, however, does not believe in such coincidences.

The president of one of the Spanish association of employees (Ascteg), El Salvador Molina, said that once people have suffered long queues and inconveniences have been among those who worked on the rock, and after a hard day's work they have been unreasonably delayed in getting homes of their families. He called the actions of the Civil Guard as "inhumane." Ascteg said that if the Civil Guard wants to fight the smuggling of tobacco products is good, but at least they could put extra duty because there was no delay.

Of course, crossing the border in Spain, there are two bands, one red and one green. Transport expectations lanes converge in the green band, which actually means that there is only one lane as you cross. Thus, if every car and two-wheel contraption looks for chaos. Molina says that this "third world". I believe that I have used this phrase is on the border more than once.

Ascteg was usually done to protest the local PSOE MP-Salvador de la Encina,: and how the Socialists no longer in power, no one in Madrid, is a blind bit of notice of what he says. There is an alternative: Jose Ignacio Landaluce - who their MP and PP mayor of Algeciras. There's no point yelling at him, though: it only to ask a queue to be larger.

Something is in the water?

At that time I was in the UK, my little red-haired, cat, Zig, was taken to the vet to its attributes are removed. Porter looked at him, and then fill it with cards, he suddenly became a pit bull terrier named Tiger. Around the same time, I was sitting in the safety handle on the grill at home, office block MPs at Westminster. I shared recreation area with two other white men about my age. Electronic door opened and in rushed want a young assistant to the deputy, who asked us with a loud voice: "Who of you Naomi Campbell," At the same time our jaws dropped open, and we were too stunned to respond. At this point, he ran in search of other white men between the ages respond with the same name. God help us!
