A Decisive Line on Frontier Traffic Flow.

On the 27th November 1813 the Duke of Wellington said:

"You may rely on this, if you take a firm and decisive line and show your determination to go through with it, you will bring the Spanish Government to their senses, and you will put an end to their petty cabals".

Since the Spanish attitude towards Gibraltar has not changed since then, our Government should take up Wellington's stance. I believe that sooner rather than later we would put an end to the frontier traffic delays.

Spain cannot afford to be seen as a bully by the European Union. The Spanish politicians pride in their new found freedoom and democracy and their ardent desire to appear to all as a model society would force them to put an end, as Wellington said, to their petty cabals.
