The done deal

Is is with anger that today, Friday 12th July 2002, a day which will go down in history, that Gibraltarians heard from Jack
Straw that his government is in favour of a joint sovereignty agreement with Spain. We knew all along that this bunch of
English traitors would be more than willing to sell us out to our fascist next door neighbours, but what literally none of us
expected was that, after the postponement of today's meeting between the UK and Spain, due to the reshuffle in the Spanish
government, Straw would come up with an agreement on a joint sovereignty of Gibraltar.

All political parties in Gibraltar have condemned the UK government's "in principle agreement" on a joint sovereignty of our
country with Spain, with the vast majority of us, as expressed in the 18th March public demonstration, against any form of
Anglo-Spanish sovereignty.

			Jack Straw did however state that no agreement would come without the consent of the people of Gibraltar.




		Not the worse one of the lot, but the closest of our enemies..

		The Governor of Gibraltar today urged people to come up with ideas on a solution towards a joint sovereignty deal with Spain. The sooner this 'gentleman' leaves Gibraltar the better.

		Joe Bossano, Leader of the Opposition stated that it is an absolute scandal that the Governor should be apologetic for the UK government.

			Mr. Bruzon, ex-VOGG and now member of the Gibraltar Socialist Labour Party "They will walk over my dead body before a Spanish flag flies over Gibraltar." Mr. Bruzon's feelings are shared by most Gibraltarians.



		Today the Voice of Gibraltar group held a "loud" demonstration outside the Governor's residence. On this photo some VOGG members listen attentively on the radio to the unexpected joint sovereignty agreement statement by Jack Straw.

		Mr. Caruana resented and condemned Straw's joint sovereignty "in principle" agreement with Spain. He also condemned the unacceptable interference of the Governor on local government matters. In order to set the mind at ease of some elderly who might have been worried after hearing Straw's statement, Peter Caruana explained that there is no prospect of a physical implementation of a joint sovereignty agreement with Spain without the wishes of the people of Gibraltar.
