GIBRALTAR: A Tax Haven, Not A Nation

21st Century Wire says…
Former Conservative leader Michael Howard has suggested that British Prime Minister Theresa May ‘would be prepared to go to war to protect Gibraltar as Margaret Thatcher once did for the Falklands’. His comments have been met with immediate criticism and dubbed ‘inflammatory’.
Fabian Picardo, the chief minister of Gibraltar, received a call from May on Sunday morning to say the UK remained ‘steadfastly committed to our support for Gibraltar, its people and its economy’.
With regards to economy, enter Craig Murray and his popular blog. A historian, former Ambassador, and Human Rights Activist, Craig takes us down the road that the mainsteam media today are not discussing; Gibraltar as a ‘tax haven’ and the so called ‘nationalism’ and discussion of ‘sovereignty’ by the British Parliament.
Are the British government authentically steadfast to the democratic wishes of the British inhabitants of Gibraltar, or is this developing Brexit fracas more about preservation of another UK tax haven.
