SPANISH WARSHIP IN GIBRALTAR WATERS AGAIN - ANOTHER PROTEST IS EXPECTED
Source - GBC
Early Tuesday afternoon, there was another illegal incursion into British Gibraltar Territorial Waters by the Spanish Navy.
The Royal Navy challenged the 90 metre long patrol boat ‘Infanta Cristina’ in the waters off Europa Point. HMS Scimitar followed the Spanish vessel after she entered Gibraltar waters on the eastside of the Rock.
When contacted on VHF Radio, the Spanish vessel alleged she was in Spanish waters, as she did earlier this year in a similar incident. The Convent is treating this as a violation of sovereignty and a breach of the UN convention on the law of the sea. Another formal protest is expected.
Here is some raw footage that GBC cameraman Wille Bear managed to capture of the incursion.

What are our Government - Our Governor - Our UK Government and our FCO doing or going to do about it?
When will all the above realise that enough is enough! The bully and its threatening behaviour must be stopped!
The UN Security Council needs to sit-up and take special note regarding this behaviour, as this is clearly NOT what one would expect from a so called NATO ally, or worse still from a country attempting to woo its way into a seat on UN Security Council!
The behaviour of the Spanish apparatus is not only threatening in itself, but can be considered as an act of war! Do you Spain would have done the same in waters off the coast of Morocco? No - because Morocco shoots first and issues warnings later.
So which institution will finally find the strength and courage to tell SPAIN that they must stop this behaviour?
Will it be Our Governor?
Will it be our UK Government?
Will it be the UN?
Will it be the EU?
Who will finally stand up to this unacceptable behaviour that its sole intent is to threaten and terrorise a smaller country and its people?

So once again the Spanish Navy think it is acceptable that they keep behaving like this...
