The spanish police have been shooting a lot recently towards Gibraltar. Only last week there was another shooting at a local fishing boat. The Foreign Office are currently dealing with that.

Isn't there a royal Navy base there?
Just get one of the ships to pepper the Spanish with a Phalanx next time they enter British waters. That'll make 'em think twice about doing it again.

I do not think that they are even entering British territorial waters they are simply shooting across the border.

I saw a map on another website that indicated that they did briefly enter UK water.
I'll try and find the link.

Technically what they did is an act of war :D. However i"m not sure either country has any money left for bullets right now.

Don't forget that Argentina also invaded when they had other economic problems as a way of distracting the public they went to war.

So why are they wasting them shooting at jet skiers? ;-)
