Rocky situation

Much has been said about the fears of expat Brits over Brexit but spare a thought for the people of Gibraltar. Gibraltarians were seriously fearful of Brexit, there were fears that Spain might close the border which would have given them an uncertain future and their very livelihood would have been at risk. Gibraltar has prospered over the last decade, largely due to the hard work of its people. The demise of the Royal Navy docks hit the local economy hard and Gibraltarians had to find a new source of income. They turned to tourism and the fact that the border with Spain was open meant that they found an important source of revenue. But Gibraltar has had to fight for tourism, they even pick up tourists at Malaga airport.
