"Anyone with a memory stretching beyond the last weeks clash between the RGP and our friends at the Guardia Civil, would have little difficulty confirming in their own minds a familiar trait or characteristic in all this, the one that exposes the fact that policing of British/Gibraltar sovereign waters is controlled by an ideology of political practicality.
Political philosophies is clearly the dominate force here; it’s where politics makes its own ‘frequent incursion into policing’ and seriously interferes with the vital policing role connected with this important issue!
The most recent bout of political posturing regarding the policing role in the bay went up a notch or two after last weeks skirmish. As most of us know the Spanish government has always been quite adapted at politicising their police and enforcement agencies, mainly for their own partisan advantage.
Although it’s not just the Spaniards, a lot of politicising of the police concerning this matter has also been prevalent with our own government over the RGP."
