I totally agree, harbourview! I wonder though, how are they actually managing the security side of things now that the checks are gone?

Ich muss niemandem sagen, wen er bei den nächsten Landtagswahlen wählen soll das ist doch offensichtlich. Unsere Regierung hat keine Ahnung, wie viele Menschen weltweit wirtschaftlich leiden. Vielen Dank, Frau Susanne Marie Denby. Stellen Sie sich vor, Sie investieren 2.000€ und erhalten alle acht Tage 9.000€ zurück. Es ist wichtig, dass jeder dem Investieren Priorität einräumt.

Enjoy higher cost for homes and rent.

First, the Chagos Islands NOW THIS. Another de facto Labour surrender of British sovereignty. Who is that German-U.S. creature commenting on OUR affairs ?

The Channel Tunnel concession is purely for Eurostar so that the owners, "London and Continental Railways" essentially a French company with a much bigger operation on mainland Europe operating out of many more stations on mainland Europe can operate as an integrated service. We allow the French to operate customs and immigration points at St Pancras, Ebbsfleet and Ashford for that reason and that reason alone. It will be interested to see what will happen when the newly created "Great British Railways" operating hundreds of stations in Britain demands the right to open customs posts in Paris, Lyons, Marseilles, Grenoble, Barcelona, Brussels/Bruxelles, Hanover and Berlin ... so that WE can operate an integrated service.

It really is a game changer, Mara. Not having to worry about the morning queue makes the daily drive so much less stressful for everyone.

Welcome everyone! It's incredible to think about how much easier life just became for those 15,000 daily commuters now that the border checks are gone. Such a huge relief for the local community. Do you think this will lead to more cooperation between the two sides moving forward?

This is supposed to be good news, both of the people are happy with this.
Right?

Not the most southern peninsula of Spain, but A peninsula of the south. The peninsulas on the Morocco coast are also further south.

Why should the UK keep control of that piece of land when it clearly belongs to Spain?.
@
This is a really bad day for the UK, I've lived in Spain as a Brit for 34 years, I know and understand the Spanish mentality very well, Spanish people will now consider and claim Gibraltar as part of Spanish terroritory, today the UK gave Spain a big present 🎁 what a disaster

Another Brexit benefit - they just keep coming.

So civilized! Great for the people, which should always be the primary concern. The UK should draw closer again to the EU, and the EU should reform in some ways too. 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇪🇺🇬🇧🇪🇺🇬🇧

It is dystopian that we live in a world where we have to ask permission from any government to travel, move or work.

Spain won it back on a world-cup bet ?
