Despite the continuing bullying tactics by PP government of Spain - the Cross Frontier workers are being called to unite with Gibraltarians about one common cause in question at the moment - the inhumane queues caused by the Partido Popular Spanish Government!
Although the queues affect people from all nationalities not just workers but tourists in general the peaceful protest is planned to highlight the violations of Human Rights done by the Spanish Government.
Human Dignity is made up of people from both sides of the Border and although they are from different groups and associations they do not represent those groups or associations! They have created this group to help fight common issues affecting the life of many other Human Beings.

Standing up for Human Rights goes beyond, colour, creed, religion and Nationality! People on both sides of the Frontier must not fall into the bad propaganda initiated by PP Spanish Government. The Spanish Government is only using the Frontier as a means to cause people to hate each other and not see the bigger picture of what is really going on!
Today has been one of the worst days of the queues done on Purpose for a while now.
Massive Queues as we Speak, 3 hrs for cars pedestrians 1 hr Motor cycles 1 hr and it was getting worse!

Let us not think this is something new- all this happened in 1999 and the UK press was all over it then! What was the one thing in common in that year and now? Spain had a Partido Popular Government! The government from Spain like now initiated a hate Gibraltar campaign and tried all sorts of bad publicity and tactics like now. See below some UK papers that covered the story then!
So why is Spain adamant to cause inhumane queues? Simple really to make people suffer, to make Gibraltar and La Linea's economy suffer!
By causing queues they cause frustrations and anger and then people turn against people!
Hatred is a quick thing to sow and grow - love, peace and unity have to be worked on and for that you need trust! For trust you need to be able to look beyond nationality and politics!
A poem, for a very difficult day, with very difficult circumstances.
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son
