At least for once, after several threats planned to be
unleashed against Britain, by the EU for its decision to leave the EU. A stark
warning has also been given to the leadership of the EU by Katie Hopkins and
condemned the purported huge divorce gill issued against the UK.
Hopkins stated that: “I think we should be going at this
hard, that we should be having a firm line.
“I don’t see why we should be paying any kind of divorce
bill before we’ve got our deal on the table, I don’t see why we should be
handing over a penny until we have our trade terms agreed.
“I think it’s time the EU realised we’ve left them. We left.
So if you noticed Juncker, that door which is shut, that was us leaving.
"So you’re now talking to a door that’s closed in your
face hunny bun.”
According the drafted document released by the EU last
Friday, it was discovered how Brussels is seeking to permit Spain a veto over
any form of agreement in the future between Britain and the UK that has
anything to do with Gilbraltar.
Having none of it, Hopkins fumed: “You want to threaten us?
“You want to tell us you’re going to take Gibraltar? No
sunshine, look at the door because it’s shut because we left.
"We don’t want to be part of you any more, we don’t
want to pay your enormous pension deficit."
The LBC host also stressed that: “What we want to do is look
after our own people, we want to provide social care for our elderly, provide
homes for our own old people!”
As the EU’s plan for Gibraltar emerged fury erupted and the
territory’s Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, condemned the move as he said Spain
was “obsession” with the Rock and would do anything to secure their “medieval
and rancid” claim.
British politicians also hit out against the moved as the Foreign
Secretary declared the Rock will not be “bargained away” during Brexit talks.
Boris Johnson said: “Gibraltar is not for sale. Gibraltar
cannot be traded. Gibraltar will not be bargained away.
“The policy of the Government remains fixed and firm. The
sovereignty of Gibraltar cannot be changed without the express consent of the
UK and the people of Gibraltar.”
Mr Johnson hailed the territory’s “vibrant business centre”
and claimed its harbour remains a “key Nato asset” due to its capability to
harbour nuclear submarines.
Meanwhile, Sir Michael Fallon pledged to protect"
Gibraltar "all the way" after Spain was given a veto over any future
deal between the UK and the bloc which involves the territory.
Still on the BBC's Andrew Marr show, the Defence Secretary
said: "The people of Gibraltar have made it clear that they don't want to
live under the sovereignty of Spain. Gibraltar is going to be protected all the
way."
Mr Fallon’s vow came as Lord Howard told Sky News' Sophy
Ridge on Sunday there was no doubt Theresa May’s Government would stand by the
British territory.
The former Conservative Party leader said: "There is no
question whatever that our Government will stand by Gibraltar.
"Thirty-five years ago this week another woman Prime
Minister sent a task force halfway across the world to defend the freedom of
another small group of British people against another Spanish-speaking country.
"I am absolutely certain our current Prime Minister
will show the same resolve in standing by the people of Gibraltar."
