British sovereignty over Gibraltar was recognised under the treaty of Utrecht, in 1715, and was`nt this the same treaty which established Bourbon rights to the Spanish throne? As you say, MM, this "row" is merely an attempt to distract public attention from the escalating economic crisis, in Spain, rather similar to the Argentinian ploy over the Falklands.C.
