Despite what some of you think, Gibraltar is still a strategic military position and the British military, (of all 3 services), will not stand back and let Johnson and his cronies dismiss it as irrelevant.
The people of Gib voted overwhelmingly to remain British and adhere to British laws. They will not lie down and roll over.
Spain does not have the clout to overly influence trade sanctions by any EU member states. They rely heavily on British tourism, amongst other countries, to boost their finances. It is so much easier for tourists to change their destinations to other similar places then face exorbitant costs to go there.
Finally, is the original post a personal point of view or is it, yet again, the media speaking about these things without actually putting and evidence or quotes from high up officials in the countries involved?

I dont have a name, it just says 'a high up EU official'
The Observer has learned that the Spanish government has insisted on reference to the Rock in the EU’s opening negotiating position, which will be published in draft form on Monday.
Boris Johnson will be presented with the choice of reaching agreement with the Spaniards about Gibraltar’s future or exposing its citizens to economic peril by pushing it outside any EU-UK trade deal.
“They have in principle asked that the new relationship not apply to Gibraltar without the explicit consent of Spain, which will only be given if the bilateral talks with Spain and the UK over the rock are resolved,” a senior EU diplomat said.

EU have stayed consistent for 3 1/2 years.
Is there any evidence to suggest the EU will stray from that?
The Boris.

Yes, the game has changed one against 27, easy. 27 against 1 different. Game play.
Because, for that period, nothing changed.
Now that things are moving, time will tell.
From the Observer which has a high rating for factual accuracy.
What makes you think its not true?
Incorrect
Johnson ended up with a WAB that was a deal the EU offered 18 months previously.
And he crossed a major red line to get it.
There is nothing in the WA that compromises the single market.
Weve had 3 1/2 years of Tories repeating meaningless slogans like:
'get back control of fishing', 'take back control'
Finally they will now be up against reality.
The withdrawal act that Johnson agreed, disproves your theory.
Johnson capitulated and agreed a deal the EU offered 18 months previously.
