	Quote: He said border guards had been "checking every bit of paperwork", which he said never normally happened. Gareth Gingell, who is a member of the activist group Defenders of Gibraltar, told the BBC that on Sunday the Guardia Civil had been "only letting one car through about every 30 minutes". "It's taking about four hours for people to get through," he said.

Retaliate block the Spanish embassy, only let one person through per hour. :evil:

Then maybe they'll start impressing on their government the idea of acting less like a toddler having a tantrum.

But they do not care about that. It is probably to make life difficult for the locals, and more for domestic opinion. Don't forget that Argentina invaded the Falklands as a distraction to the problems at home. Spain could be doing the same.
