  • Why does Spain hold on to this little piece of imperial history on another continent? Feels like asking for trouble...
  • Yeah, we should deport all those insane ideolouges of the west there from the countryside, call it utopia and leave them to it, like the likes of you left the cities once you destroyed them.
  • I now realize how hypocritical it is for Spain to ask about Gibraltar to the UK while they still are keeping Ceuta in Morocco.
  • Ceuta is an integral part of Spain, not a “piece of imperial history”.

    It has belonged to Spain since 1580. That’s one century after the Spanish kingdoms unification and four centuries before Morocco existed as an independent state.
