The UK is giving up sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, decades after the population of the archipelago was displaced. The move has received widespread attention in the international press. The Gibraltar Government says it's important to observe how different the case of Chagos is to Gibraltar, and that the UK has made cast iron guarantees to the Rock on sovereignty. Shelina Assomul spoke to the Chief Minister as well as the Leader of the Opposition. Yesterday evening the Ceremony of the Keys was held at Casemates Square, continuing the tradition from the days of the Great Siege. The Commander of British Forces Tom Guy says that Gibraltar is fully prepared to support Armed Forces operations worldwide. He said the event reaffirms the commitment to Gibraltar, and said he was happy with the support from the community.

The Government has not had any confirmation from Spain as to whether or not bridging measures for red ID card holders will continue once the new electronic frontier system is in place. Asked by GBC, Number Six said the only information available to the Government at this time is what it said in the Technical Notice issued this week. That notice said Spain and Schengen authorities are obliged to treat Gibraltarians as third-party nationals. This means, should the bridging measures not be extended, the full effect of a hard Brexit could become a reality for the first time for many Gibraltarians this November.

It's the last day of the main hearings at the McGrail Inquiry. Former Governor, Nick Pyle, continues to give evidence. He's refused to withdraw his comment that the police vessel involved in the deadly collision at sea was ‘weaponised'. And he's stood by his evidence there would have been greater accountability if two Gibraltarians had died. Lawyer for the RGP Nick Cruz put to Mr Pyle the suggestion the officers aboard the vessel were looking for a bit of excitement to spice up a dull evening was undermined by the fact the call came from Windmill Hill, an MoD facility. Our reporter Jonathan Sacramento helped us to unpack it all. The Gibraltar National League is going right down to the wire!

Gareth, thank you for your time today. Oh mate, thanks for having me. I had a wonderful time chatting to you in Gibraltar. So it's nice to be back together again. We did have good fun in Gibraltar and if people haven't seen that, you need to get a hold. We certainly live streamed, I know Gareth has put out stuff on social media of that packed gathering. [0:47] And it was a great evening. The first time I think Gibraltar had heard some of those stories in a live event. So certainly well worth. And it was also nice and sunny, wasn't it, Gareth? It was. It's nice to get some sun on your skin. It was. It feels like the longest winter in the world. It was good. You can obviously follow Gareth at @GarethIcke, is the Twitter handle, and at Ickonic, and that will take you through to all of those. And maybe if we can start with Ickonic as an introduction, if there are others who do not follow you. This is a interview you did with Lisa Copeland, who's vaccine injured in Gibraltar. And the event in Gibraltar was to publicize what's happening but also to talk to those who have suffered. So maybe you can just touch on this, Gareth, and let people have an idea of what they can find on Ickonic. Well, yeah, I mean, it was a really interesting interview. Lisa's lovely. She's a young, kind of looking fit, looking active person who suddenly had, I mean, I can't remember how old she is, I think she's early 50s, had three heart attacks after having the jab. [2:01] And she kind of, after one heart attack, didn't put two and two together, as people don't necessarily. And it was actually a nurse that told her, you do realize why this is happening. And then she had another heart attack and it was a consultant cardiologist who said, you do realise why this is happening. So there is knowledge within the medical profession. And she then had a third heart attack and thank goodness she's still with us, you know. [2:29] But she's one of countless, countless, countless. And it's the thing that Gibraltar that was interesting is, you know, there was kind of pelters thrown on social media. Why are you going to Gibraltar? Why Gibraltar? Why Gibraltar? And then I put a picture up of me and Dr. David Cartland sat by the pool because we had one day, there was one day where we didn't have anything. So we just sat by the pool and I saw the comments that were, oh my, that's why you're going to Gibraltar. But it wasn't that, it was because Gibraltar is actually a very important place. It was Gibraltar that was the first place that the vaccine went. The RAF flew in all these doses of the vaccine to into Gibraltar. Matt Hancock stood up and said they have 100% uptake, which is a lie, but it's Matt Hancock. So of course it's a lie. And then what they did is they then showed footage of people out and about in bars in Gibraltar. And it was very much the, here's what you could have won. If you will just go and take this jab these wonderful Gibraltarians have done, then you can get your life back. And you know, countless, people would have gone and got it based on that. But having spoken to people in Gibraltar, that was just nonsense. That's what they were doing anyway. They didn't have these, you know, they had one hard lockdown, I think, and then the others were just kind of, yeah, maybe a little bit, like they weren't anything like what we had. So they conned the British public and they conned the world, because we were the first people to roll these things out. The rest of the world, look, oh, look, Gibraltar's got 100% uptake and they're all fine, they're great. [3:57] But actually they're not and there's lots of vaccine injuries. Lisa is just one of many and there's absolutely no yellow card system in Gibraltar. There's no VAERS system or anything, there's nothing, there's nothing that they can do. And so, when we spoke to, it was very strange because Gibraltar is such a small country, we were just all sat around and this guy came and joined us and I bought him a pint because I was going up to get everyone a drink and I sort of, as you do, if someone's with you, even though I didn't know who he was, I was like, oh do you want a drink? And he went, oh yeah I'll have a pint of lager please, so I got him a beer. Turns out he works for the health minister out in Gibraltar and he acknowledged the fact that there's these vaccine injuries. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know, yeah, you know, And then he said that basically for any compensation, for people to get any compensation whatsoever, they have to basically jump through hoops, go up, stand on the moon on their head for 20 minutes and come back down. It's just ridiculous, it's just not going to happen. And then went on to say, you know, basically along the lines of, you know, it's above my pay grade. At which point, I think Dr David Cartland just got up and walked off and went, I can't deal with this. [5:04] It's the ridiculousness of it, isn't it? You know. It's worldwide all the same. No, but well done getting that interview and putting it out because it's important for those in Gibraltar to hear what is happening in the country because we hear often what is happening in the UK, in different parts of Europe, but it's important to hear of a country that's supposedly 100% vaccinated, what could go wrong? And we can chat about what's going wrong because we're not on YouTube. So it is absolutely beautiful. You know, it wasn't 100%. That was a lie because there were people at the event, people that put on the event that haven't had a single jab so that's nonsense but at the same time if you if you were pushing for a hundred percent and say you got that there's no control group. And that's ridiculous with anything, to not have a control group for an experimental medical treatment. It's just insanity. [5:55] Completely insanity. We will get into some other insanity as well. I just want to say there's Jackie DuBois watching on Facebook. Great to have you Jackie. Let me look on GETTR. Neil Cain was first in, evening guys, watching on GETTR. Living Truth 21 Ireland from Dublin, Gareth 1965, HW Logan, sorry it's moving quite fast now, Paul, who else, Nick Bumble, Charlotte, Baroness of Burnley, hi Charlotte, Yusel, lots of people, thank you so much and I will see if I can pull in a few of those as we go along. But talking about madness, let's go to the transgenderism stuff. This was a video that you put up, and I think you'd retweeted. But I think also it's it's of an older fight and not the most recent one. But Projam, if I can bring it up and you can play that for us. Can you play that? [7:03] Fox. Oh, that's it, fell in, Fox. Holy cow! Game over. Wow. And a quick finish to it. [7:14] Winner's $20,000 championship tournament fight. The winner is, one more time, Alistair Quince. Or, Fox. How you feeling? [7:25] Right, so the Gwyneth Tawd, this was a fight, I think it might have been started a couple of years ago, but transgender MMA fighter, Fallon Fox, beats opponent in 39 seconds, fracturing her skull. And it's what we're seeing in events, which women are participating against someone who is not a woman but is a bloke and huge danger for women in these sports and obviously in a sport like that there's a lot of physical force and aggression and I really am concerned as the transgender movement grows in the sporting arena what could happen to women.   It's insanity, there's no other word for it mate, it's absolutely what you've got is you've got a lad and obviously it cut off at the point just before he started speaking. It's a fella with a fella's voice. You know, so, okay, so Stan Collymore then after he gave Urika Johnson a slap and it was all over the papers, he should have just said he was a woman. I'm a woman. And then everyone would have gone, it's fine. Sorry, that's fine. Don't worry about, it. It's just insanity. You know, men are physically stronger than women. That's just, that's how it is. And so you're allowing a man to beat the living hell out of a woman. That is just literally insanity and we're supposed to be going along with it. And anyone that [8:49] disagrees with it is a bigot or a fascist. That gets shouted out a lot. Not sure how they've sort of squared that circle. But at the end of the day it's like any of these things. When insanity is allowed to happen and it's allowed to carry on and it's being affirmed, that's the whole terminology behind this insanity. In the end bad things happen and you know what it did there, she got a fractured skull but what next? What will go further than that? So all of a sudden the next one's dead and then do you draw the line? Probably not. So then how many, how many, how many? It will get to a point unfortunately where such horrific things will happen that that's when people will go oh actually maybe, maybe this is a bad idea. So it was always a bad idea and anyone with a rational thought in their head knew it was a bad idea. You know, men, rapists that commit rape against a woman and then go, actually no, sorry my name's Julie now, and they get put in prison with women. [9:49] I mean, honestly, if you went back 20 years and you said, in 20 years time, this is what's going to happen. They'd put you in a padded cell. They'd be like, no, he's a maniac. He's a maniac. But that's exactly what's happening. And it's normal. And it's this, like I keep saying, you've got to affirm something. But it's insanity. Why would you affirm insanity? If a bulimic person or an anorexic person came in, like three stone wet, gone and just said, I'm fat. What do you do then? Yeah, your massive love, huge. Is that what you're supposed to do? Because that's what we're doing in this sense. We're just affirming, we're agreeing with insanity, which means no one's getting help with any of the mental issues that they're going through. And so it's just going, just going unchecked, unchecked, unchecked. And then what happens? Then you end up with three dead children and three dead teachers. Because someone who's really mentally ill doesn't get the help they need. [10:45] The quote from, I think this was in 2014 when it happened and it could have happened again, but 2014, the quote from the female, who had her skull broken by the male pretending to be a female was, "'I fought a lot of women and have never felt the strength "'that I felt in a fight as I did that night.' "'I can't answer whether it's because she was born a man.'" she was part of my, that'll be a man, or because I'm not a doctor, I can only say I've never felt so overpowered ever in my life. [11:19] And that is when a woman goes up to fight a man who's much more well-built, it is overwhelming force. But as Jackie comments, the female competitors didn't complain or boycott. That's the concerning thing, that they don't stand up I guess a fear of what being cancelled is better than ending up dead, I guess. Well, there is a fear of being cancelled and if you look at, in America, where they have these track meets and they have these scholarships and things that are based on athletics, they are told to shut their mouths. People have come out and said, if I say anything, I will lose my scholarship. So there's a war on women. I mean, there's a war on kids. That's been going on for a long time. There's an absolute war on women in so many different ways. And this is just one aspect of it. And it's extraordinary to me because you go back just before Rona, during the hashtag Me Too movement, toxic masculinity, men, big, burly, horrible men, too much testosterone, hairy faces and arses, they were the problem. They were pushing women down. They were doing this and they were doing that. Well, now all it is is very feminine men that call themselves she, her in their bio. Now they're doing it to women. It's the same thing. It's exactly the same thing, but no one's saying anything, which is extraordinary. And so, but it never, it doesn't end in a good way. [12:48] This is the problem because not only will someone in the ring in an MMA fight or whatever else, end up getting killed, because that's what will happen if you fight people that are a lot stronger than you. I mean, that's why welterweights don't fight heavyweights, because they would kill them probably, because there's a strength, huge strength difference between the two of them. But on the other end of the spectrum, what's going to happen is when you look at, you know, in New Zealand with Posie Parker and the swimmer that's spoken out against transgender Leah Thomas, obviously, America, she got attacked by transgender activists and all this kind of stuff. There seems to be a lot of toxic masculinity around transgender activists for some reason, but what happens then is, okay, some of those women will feel intimidated. I don't think Posey's one of those women to be fair, but some women will feel intimidated and they won't, they're all right, I'm just going to shut my mouth and stay at home, I won't do it. But most won't, most will go, no. [13:48] I'm going to stand up more. But actually, next time we do an event where we want to speak our [13:53] mind and say our piece and speak up for women's rights, I'll bring my husband, or I'll bring [14:00] my dad, or bring my uncle, or bring a couple of mates. And then all of a sudden what you have is a situation, if you look at Posie when she stood there in New Zealand, imagine if Posie had five or six lads with her, pulling back. It's carnage, absolute carnage. And this is the thing as well, I thought I mentioned this actually when Eddie Izzard, that whole thing at the Labour conference where he just walks into a woman's toilet and then just no one says anything. There's a security guard there, no one says a single word. Well what happens then is if I'm in that situation, so I'm stood by the toilet, my daughter goes into the bathroom to go to the toilet and I'm waiting outside and I'll wait outside. If I see Eddie Izzard walk in, my first thought would be to look for the security. Excuse me, a guy's just gone into the toilet and if the security guy goes yeah that's fine. Well then what happens? Do I go oh it's fine then? No I go in. I go in and sort the lad out and that's what people will do. And so again it's and then like Jackie says maybe there's some style to it because it's another way to divide people because most transgender people don't believe in any of this nonsense at all. They don't. They just want to get on with their life like we all do. And well it's the extreme.   No completely. Let's look at this which is the trans movement in children, which is the dangerous part. And I think this is the part which will concern us. Projam, do you want to just play that? Don't enlarge it, just play it as it is. [15:27] Small screen.   Anybody can do drag. Drag is for anybody and everybody who wants to put on a fun costume and get up on stage and entertain people. Everybody should try drag at least once. [15:38] It's really fun. Even kids? Yeah, there's actually quite a few kids that are starting to do drag. Do dogs do drag? Do dogs do drag? I mean, they can. You can dress a dog up in a dress and take him on stage with you. Anybody can do drag.   It's it's bringing in children, normalizing this. [16:00] I wonder what goes inside someone's head to think that should be normal behaviour, sexualizing kids. Yeah. Why would you do that? And that is actually the main issue that people have. Like the organization Gays Against Groomers, they were started, they were formed based on the fact that actually this is the sexualization of kids. I saw Blair White was tweeting, that at the end of the day, you wanted equality, you got equality, there was one simple rule, just leave the freaking kids alone. You do what you want. If you wanna, just do what you like. Take bits of you off, stick it in the bin, have surgery, don't have surgery, call yourself whatever. I couldn't care less. You know, I honestly, it's none of my business what you do. But just leave the kids alone. And the problem again that will arise is that there's going to be carnage as a result because parents won't have it. They won't have it. Some will, few liberal parents, or so-called liberals. But when you see these drag queen events, you don't see many men there, but you don't see many other ethnicities there either. It's white liberal women that are taking their kids to drag events. Why is that? Why is that? You know, I don't know why that is. But [17:13] you know, what I think will happen with this constant sexualization of kids, and it's one positive actually, is that it will unite. It will unite people because the whole idea in everything is to split people up, just separate, separate, create little divides, little wars, because if we're arguing with each other, we're not looking up going right, sort that guy out. But then when you attack the kids, all those boundaries that we wouldn't normally agree with, because, you know, sexuality, sex, income bracket, colour, creed, political persuasion, all these things that are used to separate us, they go out the window, because we've all got kids. So Steve. [17:53] Who's a labourer, and Dominguez, who is a bloody, you know, professor of whatever, they're completely different in every single way. They probably have nothing in common. If you stuck them together in a bar, well, they would never be in the same bar. But they both got kids. And so actually, no, I'm not having it. And all of a sudden, they're on the same page. And that is one positive to come out of this madness. But the only the only thing then that you ask is, is where does that lead? When these people unite? How does it? How does it look? Because I spoke to Jamie Mitchell of of gays against groomers a couple of days ago, and she was saying her biggest concern is the fact that The LGBT community, which is an annoying term anyway, community as if they're all the same but it's falling. It's falling for the first time in a long time and it's because of these maniacs, these activists. [18:45] And lunatics. That's what's happening and she's saying look you know we wanted equality, we got equality, it's amazing, oh oh and then and then we have it has to go further and more more insane and so she's speaking out about it. Lots well Gays Against Groomers is a collective of the LGBT including trans people, speaking out against all this madness. And they get called, well their [19:09] Wikipedia says they're a far-right anti-LGBT organization, which I mean that's some mental gymnastics that is. So they're being attacked but they are you know doing their job and standing up and fighting and their real concern is one the kids and two the fact that actually their own community is going to get dragged into this. Because these people, these maniacs are doing it in their name?   Well I want to jump on to Canada. Pro Jam is that number five video? Not in the Dylan Thomas. I want to look. This is what is happening in Canada. And maybe it is, let me bring it up. [19:54] Give me a moment, let me bring this up. Yes it is, it is, sorry. Do you want to play that, play the top one, it is Canada, so play that.   We will not let fear win. A world without trans people has never existed. A world without drag has never existed and it never will. Queer people have always been here amongst us. They are our co-workers, they are our brothers, our sisters, they're our mothers, our fathers, they're our families. Drag is art, drag is culture, drag is educational, drag is creative, drag is comedy, but drag is not a crime. My name is Scarlett Bobo and thank you so much for your time. [20:37] So the setting to this is in Canada where it's been proposed that within 100 meters of any drag show. You cannot say anything that may be interpreted or taken as rude, offensive, transphobic, phobic, common sense thinking, whatever. Now, when I first saw that talk, it did look like a new Marvel film of new superhero characters that was going to, but no, that is actually what's happening, kind of, and that is regarded as the norm. And of course, you know, Jordan Peterson obviously claim to fame initially was against using language, forcing people to use certain language. And it seems, yeah, you could be 99 meters and if you say something, then actually you could be found guilty. And I don't know what the penalty will be for it. But again, criminalizing speech, it is so, so dangerous. [21:31] Yeah. And the thing is, the whole, you know, these people are just being used. The person there, the drag artist there, whatever they are, that's giving that speech there is just being used because as soon as any legislation like that comes through, well then that just goes blanket, that counts for everything. So I think people within that group need to actually be careful what they're pushing for and wishing for because it will come back and bite them in the backside on another occasion because that's how it works. I couldn't take my eyes off the nodding mask wearing ducks in the background. My eyes were instantly drawn to that, just nodding idiots. Canada is madness. When I was younger I used to want to be out in Canada. I love ice and stuff. I went out there a few times. It seemed like a sensible version of the United States for a bit. And now it's just absolutely insane. You know, Fidel Castro's son's gone in there and absolutely just torn it to shreds. [22:35] It's extraordinary that people go along with it for one, but also the fact that, my question is always this, why do you want to, normal drag shows, do what you like, mate. We have hen-dos and stag-dos in there. Like, do you like, the kids bit is the issue. Why do you want to do it around children? Why do you want to wave your arse, your spotty hairy arse in front of a kid while they put dollar bills in your thong and stuff? Why do you want to do that? But not only why do you want to do that, why is it that the state is so obsessed with protecting your right to do it? Given all the other rights that they take off of all of us all the time, particularly Canada, you know, if you donated some money to the truckers, they froze your bank account, right? So there's no rights in Canada unless you want to have the right to wave your fat hairy arse in a kid's face. And for me, you know, I'd love to sit down with one of them and just say, why do you want to put your arse in a kid's face? A genuine question and I will wait for the answer because I have an assumption that my assumption is the fact that you're a bit of a nonce. That's my assumption. You can feel free to correct me. I'm open to being corrected if you're not that. But in my mind, a grown man that wants to dress up scantily and stick his arse in a kid's face. [24:00] There's a word for those sort of people. And I would love an answer. I mean, I doubt I'll ever get one, to be honest, mate, but I would love one because I can't think of another word apart from I'm getting the word nonsense. You're expecting some common sense, Gareth, which... [24:15] The problem is, you're right, I don't think many of these people have had a conversation with the sane person to discuss this because so many people fall into line and just accept the badness, but there's no pushback. But yeah, that's what's needed. That's good.   Parents need to parent. That's what needs to happen. You know, there's a lot of parents, well not a lot, but there's a few, unfortunately, parents out there that basically, you know, have sex, get pregnant, out it goes, on you go, whatever. You know, you have a job, there's a job here, and it's full-time, mate. And that is to protect that child. Now, part of protecting that child is protecting them from predators. Simple as that, whether that be in the jungle or in a nightclub. Not that there should be a nightclub anyway, but that's your job and you know parents need to start doing their job and if they did their job this stuff wouldn't happen because what would happen is four or five drag queens with a fetish for sticking their arse in kids faces would turn up and twiddle their thumbs in an empty venue for an hour before going home. That's what would happen if parents did the job and they're not. Let's the continuation of this with advertising. [25:33] This was Dylan Thomas back in a past life. If you wanna play this projam, we can watch this beautiful dance. It has been the wheel. Yeah, you get to spin the wheel, but guess what? You get a second chance in this game first. No way. Oh my God, oh my God, I'm still in it. So you know two prices already, which is a great thing. $3.99 and $5.99. Which one do you want to keep? I'm going to keep the $5.99. Something else up here is $5.99. You can tell me what it is. You get everything. I'm going to say the soup. Soup! $5.99. It's pretty fancy. It is... Yes! Yes! You got it! [26:14] Music. [26:20] Look at that. Right, it goes on, it goes on. But, it is a bit, and I can't even show the video of him, her, it in the bath with the bud because it's just, it's too, it's ingrained on my memory, I don't want to put it on others. But it is this, an individual like this probably would have got help at some point in our society and now we cheer on this person who has issues in their life and really should be helped. And now they're making a ton of money and they've been released onto the world. But yeah, I mean, talk through it and I'll bring up some of the Babylon Bee articles around it, which I thought was quite funny. But yeah. Dylan's a narcissist. A complete narcissist who is obsessed with self-promotion. [27:16] I would have no doubt that Dylan refers to himself in third person often, he's that sort of character, but I also think it's trolling as well. And when I say trolling, I don't mean the fact that it's fake, because he's gone off and had his face reconstructed, that's not trolling in the sense that it's fake, his face is different now. But by Nike and Bud Light and all these major corporations doing what they're doing, they know what they're doing is going against women and they know they're going to get pelters for it, but they don't care. It all, it feels to me like they're trolling women. [27:54] Why is Dylan now a face for Nike female athletics? [28:03] One, the dude's not an athlete. He's never even seen a track or a weight, right? So he's not an athlete. So, okay, so you're not, it's not even like Leah Thomas, go actually they won blah blah blah blah blah. There's no reason why Dylan is getting athletic apparel whatsoever. He's got a support bra on when he doesn't have boobs because he's a fella. [28:26] I don't know what he's done with the tuck in it. He's done quite well with that to be fair because they're pretty tight pants and you can't see anything so well done actually Dylan on that. In terms of the Bud Light where he's in the bath again it's a parody, it's a mick take of women. They're with the bubbles, oh I can't understand bubbles because I'm a woman so I don't get bubbles, they're confusing for me. It's that again it's just taking the mick and the high pitched and... [28:51] As if that's the way that women are and the way he dresses and he's got the pigtails and all that that sort of stuff. That's not a woman. That's, that's not how women are. That's, that's a clip art version of a woman. It's a parody. And so then when he's saying, you know, there's no men in my DMs. And of course, there isn't. Of course, there isn't. Because because even if men accepted the fact that you were a woman, and they went, Okay, no, no, no, you know, transgender women are women, is a woman, I have no problem with being with a transgender woman, and crop that point, right? Even if they were thinking that they would look at Dylan and go, how annoying a woman is Dylan? Yeah. Dylan's just a dick. Like Dylan's not the woman I want screeching all the time. How long does Dylan take to get ready? Two hours? Like just an absolute narcissistic pain in the arse. And so that's what I honestly think that they're doing now that they're doing on purpose. So you've got people at Nike, you've got people at Bud Light and all these other organizations. I mean, he's making absolute killing, isn't he? That they know what's coming. And they go, yeah, go on, do it, do it. I mean, why would you seek out Dylan and go, this person who gets pelters all over the internet constantly, this is the one that, this is good for our brand. No chance, unless you're trolling. [30:09] Let me show the Babylon Bee, which no longer is making up stories that are no longer true. Actually part of Babylon Bee is just mocking what already is there. Here's beverage pretending to be beer features man pretending to be woman. Love that one. There was another one. Let me just show the other one quickly. [30:31] And literally Babylon Bee, no shortage. And it is this one. Santis and Budweiser attempt to discover how many beers it would take for Dylan Mulvaney to pass as a woman. I mean, Bud Light is not strong, so it's gonna take hell of a lot, but it's great when there are sites like that that are just willing to completely mock. And I think that's what it takes to mock what is happening, to point out this is not reality. Jackie says, should I show Kyle? We'll show the 18 seconds of the night dance, just because you asked nicely. Oh, it was amazing. It was like, it was like river dance, a pissed up river dance. Is it this one? Let me play this one. here's some fun. [31:24] Music. [31:41] I mean it is pure narcissism you're right Gareth, it is complete narcissism.   Yeah and he's surrounded by people that won't tell him the truth that's part of the problem I think and that's what Sam Smith fits into that category as well, surrounded by people that just go along with it. if I, did that and I said to my wife or one of my mates can you film me doing this, they would be there going you look a fucking idiot. I'm not good, stop it, stop it. They would tell me, you know, no, no and that's what needs to happen, you know. No Dylan.   Gareth, we've only met maybe twice but don't worry if I ever see you putting out a video like that I will happily tell you what the hell has gone wrong, Gareth. You need help.   I've got good people around me, haven't I Peter? That's the point. He doesn't have good people around him. But then at the same time, I look at Dylan, and then I look at the other guy that's famous in a similar-ish way, the one who's got lipstick on all the time, a creepy smile, and has always got stubble, and is trying to get kids to private message him away from their parent. He's a predator. He's a proper predator, that one. He's dark as hell. There's something really sinister about that guy. Dylan is just a narcissistic Wally. [33:01] And what he wore when he was doing the Price is Right or whatever that show is called, he dressed up like Wally, didn't he? So it's almost like he knows that he's a Wally. But the other one is far more sinister in my view, if anyone's ever seen him. And any guy that's there on social media doing the real smarmy smile, it's just, oh God, he gives me the creeps. If I was walking through a park at night and I saw him, I'd leg it. [33:23] Trying to tell, telling kids to, join this private message thing and talk to me privately, that red flags everywhere. Yeah. Well, let's leave the trans stuff in the rear view mirror and move on to something much more positive. And it is this, this is Robert Kennedy Jr.'s statement. [33:46] And he has submitted his paper where he says, I filled with the EEC and will announce my candidacy presidency on April the 19th in Boston. I'm grateful for the outpouring of support. Now, [34:00] I get Robert Kennedy Jr. would be someone on the opposite side politically as me, but I've been blown away by his bravery and stand on COVID and calling it out for what it actually is, calling the jabs out. But yeah, what are your thoughts on Robert Kennedy Jr. putting his name in the ring to stand as the democratic candidate. [34:27] Well to be honest I'm not one for politics really. I just think it's all a bit of a sham and all a bit of a show and all just basically give people the illusion of choice because you get to vote every four years for someone that is essentially not going to do anything that you want them to do and then four years later you'll try and replace them with the other guy and then the same again and so it goes on and it just gives people this illusion of choice. I'm not a fan of politics But for me, one, the Democratic Party will never pick him as the candidate for presidency, ever. That's never going to happen. And even if he got close, they would Bernie Sanders him, like they did with Hillary. They just never let it happen. But at the same time, if he can get there and he can get on the campaign trail and can get on debates and can say things and get some truth bombs drop in left, right and centre, then that's only a good thing. I'm the same as you, politically, I'm not so much with Robert in the sense of the whole climate change, human caused climate change stuff, he's really big on that and always has been. [35:36] But in terms of vaccines, he's great. I'm pretty sure actually his vocal injury was actually that was caused by a vaccine I think, which I think set him on the journey. That seems to be the case, you know, it's the same, like people that would, he would probably have not really given it time of day, the fact that actually these things that you can't possibly talk about long before COVID, you know, you can't talk about the measles ones or MMR and autism, all these things, these conversations that had people cancelled and their lives and livelihoods destroyed. But then it's happened to him, so now he's on it. And he's, like you say, he's brave and he goes for it. Same, I guess, with Malhotra, the fact that he would have poo-pooed anything against vaccines and then one, in the COVID jab, kills his father, and now he's on the trail with it. But yeah, for me, not a big fan of politics, but if he can get some truth out there and get some stuff out onto mainstream media, That's amazing. Completely. Let me move on to this on COVID and this was an article in the Daily Mail. [36:52] And this was COVID jabs will be given to vulnerable babies for first time. Health Chiefs recommend two Pfizer doses for 60,000 at-risk infants aged six months to four years. And it actually says those with poorly controlled asthma and chronic heart conditions are included. Like giving them an experimental jab is going to fix heart conditions. I thought the evidence is there to say, actually it does cause heart conditions. It is infuriating that they haven't got it. [37:29] Well, if you ever needed evidence that people in positions of power are complete psychopaths, with absolute contempt for humanity. Look no further than a headline like that. You, at the end of the day, you go back two years when it was 100% safe and effective and it was gonna save the day and give everyone their lives back. Amazing, just look at Gibraltar. They didn't give it to six month old babies then. So now you fast forward two years and you go, right, okay, it's useless, it's admitted that it's completely freaking useless and it kills people and it gives people heart disease, and it causes God knows how many percentage rise in excess deaths. Right, so we know that now. So now's the time to stick it in a six month old. Obviously, of course it is. What are you doing? [38:23] You know, it's so hard to get beyond the fact that there's clearly some form depopulation agenda happening. And because the thing is with the vulnerable, Peter, is they've got a ready-made excuse. It's the same with giving this stuff to people in care homes and giving it to vulnerable elderly people and whatever. When they die, they were vulnerable, weren't they? Yeah, that's sad, isn't it, that they were vulnerable. But all the, I mean, with all the Pfizer dumps, and we've talked to Amy Kelly, who pulled together all those Pfizer dumps and had Naomi on before, but they go through and what, 167 or 172 is it, people actually went through the trial, but of those, I think only six of the rest were placebos. You've got no evidence for any testing on children, no data that actually this is deadly to children at all. [39:24] There's absolutely nothing available that would persuade any sane person that actually it's children that now need jabbed. And any children with a health issue, that's probably 10 times reason not to jab them with that. But I don't know whether it's Pfizer demanding it. I don't know whether it's contracts, but it is pure evil happening in front of our eyes. And it comes down, like everything is connected. It connects into drag queen story hour in the sense that this is on the parents. The parents need to not let this happen. 100% just need to put their foot down. No, doctor, that's not happening. And you like to think that doctors wouldn't do this either. No, I'm not doing that. I mean, I might be being so bloody naïve with that, but that's what I hope. I hope that the uptake is none, that the parents say, no, not doing it, not a chance. Because that's what needs to happen. Because at the moment, as Jackie says, it's not mandated. It's not even like you've got some kind of battle on your hands. But the problem is that you'll find is children in care. Children in a vulnerable care system will end up having it. I know people that have adopted [40:46] children that are kind of a similar mindset to myself when it comes to vaccines, and they [40:53] weren't allowed to complete the adoption until the child had the childhood immunisations. That that was part of the deal. They wouldn't have done it, but they wouldn't get the child, it was done before the child was given over to them. So I would imagine it would be exactly the same for any child in care. And it's just so evil. It's so beyond evil. It's unfathomable to me. It is, but the dead are in Japan and you mentioned depopulation and this is something which I I am still trying to get my head around. I haven't gone down that rabbit hole as yet. I remember having James Delingpole, he's well done. I'm looking down at the hole, but this is the deep population, this is Japan times. Excess deaths doubled in Japan 2022. COVID-19 may be to blame, I really think, no way. But again, it's not looking at the impact of the jabs. We've seen this across many countries, Germany, we talked to a German politician about this, it's now coming out in Japan, a lot of data coming out of Japan. But I wonder what time, my worry is that people will not wake up because they'll not be getting the information and everything will be blamed on COVID, but you can only blame COVID for so long until the truth comes out. So what are your thoughts on this and then maybe even on the depopulation side? [42:21] I think people are starting to wise up. I think they're starting to wise up to it. I think, you know, your kind of, you know, your pronouns in bio, Ukraine flag in bio, blue heart in bio types will never, [42:36] like they'll never get it. Like that. For me, they're an NPC that is just it's done. Don't just forget them. Don't worry about them. The nodding mass mass covered ducks in the background on that video. They're the same forget about them. But most people that have rational thought or, well, I say they will, they are getting it. I have conversations with people all the time and they won't buy that stuff, that's nonsense. [43:02] You know, I mean, the local gym that I was going to, they started a course of, well, a way to try and make some money to train people with long COVID and it just got laughed at because it's ridiculous. It's just ridiculous. [43:15] And so that whole kind of trying to push COVID on stuff, it's just dying, it's dying. All over the world it's dying out because people have had enough and people's life experience, as was always gonna happen, people's life experience has now outweighed the fear porn that they were getting from the media. You know, when people were locked in their houses and they were being told, you know, this is happening here, this is happening here, happening here. Oh my god, it's terrifying isn't it? Because they couldn't see. And now they're out and they've had conversations for two years or more of people going, do you know anyone? No, I don't know. Do you know anyone that knows? No, that's weird, isn't it? That is weird, isn't it? That started to wake people up. And then the jab rollout. Oh, no, it's safe and effective. Yeah. Bloody tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist, anti-vaxxers, dangerous, far right, you know, all the usual. That was then balanced out with, well, my aunt June. Oh, well, a couple of lads I used to play football with. Oh, well, the landlady at the local pub, she was only 45. All of a sudden, that reality, Lisa Copeland, pro-vax, took the vax, three heart attacks. She's now going, well, that's ridiculous. This thing is dangerous. It's killing people. It's nearly killed me three times. And so that's what's happening. And so I think they're going to really struggle with pushing these nonsense headlines. People won't have it. [44:38] Well, this, it's this, so infertility, and this has made me. [44:46] Naturally, no, oh, sorry, I'll bring it, sorry. Let me bring up this. Yeah, World Health Organization, one in six, isn't it? Yep, it's one in six. Let me pull up the story. But I mean, how does, because this is something that. [45:02] It's slowly, slowly coming out, And it seems to be that, actually, let me just bring this up. When the WHO are coming out with this, that's the thing I can't get my head around, to one in six infertile worldwide. And it says, despite high rates, fertility treatment is inadequate and expensive across the globe, pushing many hopeful patients into poverty trap. But it's 17.5%, one in six. And that is a level that's rising and rising. [45:36] I don't know why the WHO are putting it out. What are your thoughts on this? Well, it reads like when you see the headline, it reads like complete gaslighting. But then, when you actually read the article, the studies was up to 2020. So it's actually nothing to do with you know, these these COVID jabs. Yeah. But sperm counts, particularly in the West have been absolutely plummeting for decades. So it doesn't surprise me that infertility is infertility is so high. What what I find interesting about it is no one seems to want to get to the bottom of why it it is. And it's the same. It's not vaccines. That's the answer. And it's the same with with autism. You know, when that whole thing was out there of, you know, autism, but it's not vaccines. Okay, right. All right, fine, whatever. Let's just put that on the on the on the side for a minute, then. What is it then? And then people go, you know, are this, you know, processed food? Okay, well, let's have a chat about processed food, then no one seems to want to have that conversation. The other element of it is, you know, we live in in a world with something like 18 to the power of 10 zeros, [46:43] whatever it is, it's something insane, times more radiation in our lives than there was just 150 years ago. Is that doing something? People sat with their laptops on their lap, radiating their bollocks and their ovaries, sat with mobile phones in the pockets, you know, but no one seems to care. No one seems to care. All it seems to me, it's not vaccines. Oh, okay. And then, right, you know, do you want to watch Bargain Hunt? No one seems to have any kind of concern as to, all right, okay, well, even if it isn't that, what is it then? Because, you know, we hear about climate change, oh God, you know, all the polar bears and stuff, and Greta's not going to school again, and all that sort of nonsense, and pretending to get arrested when she's not actually being arrested at all. Because we are facing an extinction level event. We're not, we're not, which is why all the politicians that are peddling it, your Obamas and your Al Gores and people like Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates are all still buying multi-million pound waterfront properties. You wouldn't be doing that if you think the sea's rising, but there you go. So we've got to focus on that. [47:48] This infertility and dropping sperm counts, that is literally an extinction event. Because if you can't procreate, you cease to exist. And then maybe that's part of it. Maybe that's part of it. You bring the population right down, a smaller population is easier to control. Just look at the nations where the draconian COVID measures were brought in harder. So New Zealand, tiny population. Australia, tiny population for the size of the country. Canada, tiny population for the size of the country. [48:20] And then you, you, you even, even down to the UK, you've got England, pretty heavily populated, fought back, Scotland, tiny population, was it five and a half million? Far more draconian, Wales, far more draconian, cause it's easier to control a smaller group of people. So that will play a part in, in why you would want population reduction. And the other part, you know, the conspiracy theorist in me, people focused a lot on, on 1984 through all this, terms of the parallels between Orwell's 1984. But Orwell was being taught by Aldous Huxley, who wrote Brave New World. Take a look at Brave New World, you know, and what that was, you know, that's a comparison as well, in terms of the world that's being created for us and around us. And in that, there is no procreation. There's state hatcheries, where the state grows, you know, and then you look at Israel, they've already got fake wombs in Israel. Like this whole thing is all happening at the same time. You know, you've got smart cars and smart meters and smart this and smart that. How long till you got smart people? [49:26] Yeah. But my big thing is on this, I'm trying AI to the piece on AI with Lotus Eaters during the week, and it's frightening on where that is going. Everyone who's causing for a pause for those who are actually involved in doing AI, but that's a whole other. But that's why the same is in Silicon Valley. The people that make the iPads and all these things, They don't let their kids have them. But on this, you're right that people read these stories and then they go on to watch Bargain Hut, whatever. But it's these stories, this infertility, it's a entertainment piece. You read it over your coffee, and then you go on and get on. You don't think, well, what have I just read? What does that mean? And people aren't processing the information. They're just reading it glibly and seeing it as a piece of entertainment for a few minutes and moving on. That's the frightening thing that the penny is not dropping in any way of some of these big issues. No, because that story won't be on page one or page two or page three of any newspaper. It won't have made any BBC or Sky News bulletin, won't have made any of those things. But they will focus on climate change and all this sort of nonsense, but they won't talk about that kind of stuff. [50:52] So it's, you know, most, we're talking about it and people that are listening to this are processing it and have probably read that story. If I walked out into the cul-de-sac I live in and knocked on people's doors, they'd probably think I was a bit weird, but if I knocked on people's doors and asked if they knew that one in six was infertile, they wouldn't know. They'd be like, really? Seems a bit high. Door slams. They wouldn't know that. Most people wouldn't know that. You know, even people that have gone through those problems themselves, they would think that they were in an absolute minority. They wouldn't realise just how prevalent this is and how huge that is as a story. It should be front page news, it's massive. [51:33] Yeah, let's just do two or three minutes, our last story north of the border and something completely different and people were all quite surprised whenever Sturgeon, First Minister of Scotland stepped down and now we have SNP auditors quit, Scottish National Party that is, quit amid Peter Murrell police investigation, who was the chairman who was married to Nicola Sturgeon, and it seems all to do with finance and when Sturgeon resigned it was well she was a bit too stressed and social media were taking pot-shots at her and now this police investigation seemingly been going on for for two years but I was intrigued because it seemed it's quite a very public way the police I guess could have gone in it could have done but no they set up a huge tent outside it was massively public and it's maybe this answers the stories of why Sturgeon actually did stand down. [52:33] Almost certainly it looked like Fred West's house didn't it with the tents outside what was funny is I went out walking yesterday with a mate of mine and he's Scottish guy and he was, you know, SNP and he, you know, probably about three or four years ago now was like, nah, she's a demon. But he, you know, supported her because he supported independence, which is the Trojan horse that got the SNP in. It is. Because that's the only thing. Without that, they've got nothing. And what they've done is they've stitched themselves with this self-identity bill, because even the most ardent, you know... [53:08] Yes, voters have actually gone, okay, this is a bit weird now. We've gone too far now. It's getting dark. What I thought when I saw the... Anyway, so I told my mate David, sorry, cut my own story off then, about the whole thing. And I said, you know, they had these tents outside. He's like, what do you mean? Well, like digging for bodies. I was like, no, but it does look like that, to be fair. And maybe skeletons. I think there's a hell of a lot of skeletons. [53:31] But my first thought when I saw it is, for me, all politicians are the same. They're just left and right, different cheeks on the same arse, right? And actually I'm not a fan of the Tories, can't stand them, can't stand any of them. The one bit of credit I will give the Tories is that they don't try and pretend they're not bastards. They don't try and hide it. Whereas you've got Labour, which are a bunch of bastards, but they try and pretend that they're not. They put an LGBTQ flag and a Black Lives Matter thing on it and they try and pretend that actually, Oh, no, no, we're the good guys. You're not. The SNP are the same. And so I look at Sturgeon and the rest of them, and it's the same with Jacinda, because she stood down for other reasons as well, is they're always what they accuse you of. Always. The amount of times, if I went and searched it, the amount of times that Nicola Sturgeon has called out the Tories for being private landlords or having investments in private healthcare companies, which are all legitimate things to call out. If you've got a politician who is a private landlord who then votes on legislation to protect landlords, there's a conflict of interest. So yeah, that's a legitimate thing. Same with the NHS and all that sort of stuff. So they've got a point, but they're doing the same thing. [54:45] They're always doing the same thing. They're just pretending they're not. And the SNP are the same. The SNP are just the Tories with a pride flag. [54:54] To this point, I don't understand why people still vote. I have to say, I don't understand it. And if you want to vote, that's fine, but I don't. And then people go, people died for the right to vote. Nah, nah, they died for a legitimate choice between two things that weren't exactly the same. That's not what voting is. Do you want this World Economic Forum puppet or do you want that one? Do you want AIDS or do you want cancer? It's not really a choice, actually. I don't think people fought for the right to choose between AIDS and cancer. Not what they vote, that's what they fought for. So actually that argument that if you don't vote, you don't have a right to to argue anything or say anything is just complete rubbish. I have the exact right to argue it because I knew they were both bastards so I didn't vote for either of them. So when the one you elected gets in and acts like a bastard I'm allowed to stand there actually and say, told you, told you, you know. So I don't know what the answer is in terms of politics and I don't claim to. What I think would be a start would be the none of the above. [55:56] I do believe just putting that on a ballot, even if it's just a protest, it would start a conversation and there would have to be some kind of change. If you had Labour, 10% Tories, 8% you know and then like 70 odd percent, none of the above. All right so 70% of the country literally want none of these people. That would start something, that would start a ball rolling. The other thing that I believe Peter is what I said in Gibraltar is to have a contract, a binding contract between the people, then I'd vote actually, between the people and the political party or the politician that are elected. So if I say to you, right, Peter, what I'm gonna do is if I get into power, I'm gonna bring taxes down, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that, I'm gonna provide more for education, for this, all this big long list of stuff. And you look at that list and you go, mate, that's pretty good, I'm gonna vote for this guy. And I get in, I don't have any, I don't have to do any of the things that got me elected. I literally don't have to do a single one and I can still be in power for four years [57:05] without having done any of that. In fact, I can do the opposite of every single one. So what should happen is there's a contract and I have a certain period of time where I have to implement those policies. And if I refuse to implement those policies, I'm gone. And there's a snap election, bang, to be replaced. That again, that would be a start. I mean, that's not necessarily the end goal and the perfect scenario, but it would be a start, that actually people would have to do what they promise rather than just say, bring down taxes, everyone gets a free Lamborghini, cheers. When they have absolutely no intention of ever doing that. Yeah, completely. [57:43] Gareth, I appreciate you coming on. Thank you so much for coming in and sharing your thoughts on all those different stories, thank you. I know, well, we did about 40% or 45% on transgender stuff. And you know, people say, and they say it to me and Rich, why do you talk about this subject so much? Because it's so important to protect kids and protect women's rights and stuff and to protect the gay community as well because as we were talking about earlier, they're becoming targets now. It's that pendulum swing that will come back And actually, you know, it needs calling out. No, completely. Well, let me just finish on, let me just show just two or three funnies just to finish with. And we'll not give any comments, we'll just leave people with a smile. Sometimes there's so many issues happening that we don't leave them with a smile. This was, let me do this. This is when you're on your first date and she orders a Bud Light, You know, it's not going to go well. There was just, we didn't even have time to show Bob Moran's cartoon, my goodness. You need to look at that, Julia Hartley-Brewer and Piers Morgan. You need to look at that, absolutely wonderful. And here was one of Dr. Robert Malone's jokes, which I thought was, they're all very funny. [59:10] Rapes, robberies, assaults are all up last year. Manhattan DA, what do you plan to do about it? Indict Donald Trump. This is the AG, Attorney General Bragg, who is indicting Trump. There are so many articles, but we will not because we have run out of time. Make sure and check out Gareth Icke on Twitter, Ickonic on Twitter, and follow all of the content they are putting out. And if you want to make full use of the content, you can can pay for that content because I think we're used to getting content for free, aren't we, Gareth? It's important for people to realize if something is worthwhile, then they should pay for it. But just, I'll give you a minute to plug Ickonic just as we end. Okay. Yeah. I mean, to be honest, it's as cheap as we can make it. So that obviously, you know, all the staff can live and stuff can get made and all the streaming costs and the website costs and the developers, you know, they've got four full-time developers and stuff. So it's as cheap as it can be. [1:00:15] Which I think is about $7.99 a month. There's five weekly new shows and then some comedy in there, lots of films, original films and licensed films, documentaries, self-help, yoga, nutrition, pretty much everything that you need really there. And you can start a free seven-day trial whenever you want. So if you go to ickonic.com, start a free seven-day trial, check out all the content, see what you think. And also leave us some feedback, you know, because the fear is that you become a bit of an echo chamber and you end up making content that you enjoy, which is great, but that's not necessarily, you know, what people want. So feedback is always, always welcome. [1:01:00] Okay, sounds good. We'll leave it on that. I'll wish our viewers a wonderful rest of your Saturday evening. Happy Easter Sunday for you tomorrow. Hope you have a wonderful time, however you're spending it with friends and family, or just chillaxing by yourself, have a wonderful time. And we'll be back with you on Monday with Miranda Devine, laptop from hell, New York Post journalist. We did a prerecord with her a few days ago. So she's with us on Monday discussing that bestseller. So on that, have a good evening and we'll see you on Monday. So thank you and good evening.

Should you find yourself in Casemates Square around midday on the tenth of September, you will be surrounded with a sea of red and white, thousands of Gibraltarians dressed in their national colours, waving the red and white Gibraltar flag with the castle and key motif, and you’ll be in no doubt that Gibraltar has a fierce national identity. For activists and proud Gibraltarians Annette & Paul Tunbridge, Gibraltarian identity is something which shouldn't just be championed every Gibraltar National Day. They firmly believe the identity of the Gibraltarian was born in 1704 with the signing of the Treaty of Utrecht and despite that, they are still "an invisible people".

En dos ocasiones, en 1967 y 2002, los gibraltareños tuvieron la oportunidad de expresar su opinión y en ambas ocasiones votaron masivamente permanecer en el Reino Unido.La lengua oficial de La Roca es por supuesto el inglés y resulta muy chocante esa mezcla inevitable de inglés-español con fuerte acento andaluz que se escucha allí, parecido al Spanglish aunque con palabras árabes ya que África está sólo a 14,4 kilómetros de Gibraltar.No siempre es fácil seguir una conversación en la que puedes escuchar expresiones como “dar un lift” para hablar de llevar a alguien en coche, o “póngame un keki” refiriéndose a un cake o pastel o referirse a las tuberías con la palabra “piperias”, toda una variante del inglés que sólo ellos dominan y controlan.La relación con la península y Marruecos es constante, a diario miles de personas cruzan al peñón donde está su puesto de trabajo, Gibraltar necesita mano de obra y los españoles y marroquíes tienen mano de obra que ofrecer.Médicos, enfermeros, transportistas, camareros o dependientes ocupan en La Roca puestos de trabajo mejor pagados que en España. El Brexit y sus consecuencias son una preocupación importante para los ciudadanos españoles y marroquíes que trabajan en esta pequeña península, la Unión Europea apuesta por una soberanía compartida del Peñón y el Reino Unido no está muy dispuesto a ceder soberanía.GIBRALTAR, THAT PART OF SPAIN THAT IS NOT SPAINIn the south of the Iberian Peninsula, in the province of Cadiz, there is a rock with an extension of 6.8 square kilometers and a population of 34,500 inhabitants, which despite being in Spain is not Spanish but English territory.Gibraltar or "The Rock" has three centuries belonging to the United Kingdom. On two occasions, in 1967 and 2002, the Gibraltarians had the opportunity to express their opinion and on both occasions they voted massively to remain in the United Kingdom.The official language of La Roca is of course English and it is very shocking that inevitable blend of English-Spanish with a strong Andalusian accent that is heard there, similar to Spanglish although with Arabic words since Africa is only 14,4 kilometers from Gibraltar.It is not always easy to follow a conversation in which you can hear expressions like "give a lift" to talk about taking someone by car, or "put me a keki" referring to a cake or refer to pipes with the word "piperias ", A variant of English that only they dominate and control.The relationship with the peninsula and Morocco is constant, every day thousands of people cross the rock where their work is, Gibraltar needs manpower and the Spaniards and Moroccans have labor to offer.Doctors, nurses, transporters, waiters or shop assistants occupy jobs in La Roca better paid than in Spain.The Brexit and its consequences are a major concern for the Spanish and Moroccan citizens who work in this small peninsula, the European Union is committed to a shared sovereignty of the Rock and the United Kingdom is not very willing to give up sovereignty.
