Sorry, but the late Lady Thatcher wasn’t immune to such weakness. It was her government which ceded Hong Kong back to China. Rafe is wrong about Hong Kong - only the “New Territories” were subject to a 100 year lease, and both Hong Kong Island and Kowloon were British sovereign territory. Shamefully, the citizens were not consulted about being handed over to permanent subjugation from Beijing.

Rafe, is himself a British institution! A voice of reason and sanity! In this mad so called multi-cultural society. Thank you Rafe!

The man, the myth, the legend. 👍🇬🇧

Another reason to get rid of this spineless and gutless government and its politicians. Labour will be even worse. Vote Reform.

Spain is under a hard-line socialist government, that has to appease the electorate, and it says a lot about current obstacles between the 2 countries!...

Can we get rid of Cameron…..again!

Great stuff Rafe, cheers

No one speak’s up for British history more than you my friend ! I love watching you on gb news !!

As a third party and an unofficial historian, i know that Gilbratar a British overseas territory was ceded to Britain by treaty of Utrecht in 1713. Having known Gilbratar for some time, the inhabitants of that small island are more pro British than Spanish. Let the Island and the people remain a British overseas territory! Let politicians stop playing politics with peoples happiness!!! From Nigeria 🇳🇬.

There's always some squabble. If it's not the Agrentinians, it's the Spanish - although the British government should not have ceded Northern Ireland to the EU, which started this whole vulture's dinner.

And, on a similar theme, when is Russia going to voluntarily surrender the exclave of Kaliningrad back to Poland? The only difference is that Britain lawfully acquired Gibraltar over 200 years ago. The Soviet Union unlawfully seized Kaliningrad from Poland, with military force, less than 80 years ago.

Is the Spanish think that Gibraltar is Spanish, they should recognise that Ceuta and Melilla are Morrocan and not Spanish. The people that reside in Gibraltar must decide for themselves what sovereignity they wish to be under, just as The Falklands people want to be British so do the Gibratlan folk. End of story! #Gibraltar #Uk #Spain #Ceuta #Melilla

If I remember my history correctly, For Gibraltar we gave Spain Ownership of Minorca and Florida all those years ago under the treaty of Ultrek. It's always the same political diversion same as Argentina with the Falklands.

Hi Rafe, love your telling of our history thank you

Love you Rafe, been following your videos for a couple days now and I can't stop watching. The way you remain incredibly calm in your discussions/arguments and then spit out absolute facts to the point your opponents are left (or should be left) contemplating life. The level of hypocrisy, ignorance and complete delusion of some people is astonishing! I also love learning more about British history and I'm glad there's still people around that are proud of it, good or bad. I mean name me a country which is absolutely perfect with a clean history... None existent! Its all about acknowledging the facts, learning from mistakes, building on the stepping stones of our forefathers and creating a future which we all are proud of. Peace and love, a fellow British ex-service man x

Most civil servants are Labour supporters and they will be driving this nonsense. It’s just not needed. Spain won’t give up Cuerta for example. Gib is its own territory, just ask the people. Politicians should follow Argentina and sack 70,000 civil servants.

Quick correction Rafe, Hong Kong Island was ceded in perpetuity as per the Treaty of Nanking in 1842 and Kowloon under the Convention of Peking in 1860. It was the New Territories that remained on the 99 year lease. Granted, the circumstances were different between Hong Kong and Gibraltar. The biggest mistake the British government made was not allowing Hong Kongers to choose their own destiny, like they did with the Falklands and Gibraltar. That should have happened decades before the Hong Kong handover. In any case, it would have been indefensible by 1997 and highlights the reality that the UK is much, much weaker than its colonial past. Rumor has it that Deng Xiaoping told Margaret Thatcher that he would "simply turn off the water" to Hong Kong if Britain didn't hand it back, although the official record states that he could "take Hong Kong in a day" if he wanted to. I remember reading a superb article back in 1999 called "How the British Lost Hong Kong" but unable to find any remnants of it. I'm sure it's in some newspaper archive somewhere. EDIT: This I believe you already knew and acknowledge that time was short in the interview.

"Kissing distance" is as lovely a brilliant expression heard from #RafeHeydelMankoo here. My thanks + carry on!

It will always be part of Britain 🇬🇧

There was a time when Britain actually humiliated the Spanish when the tried to take back Gibraltar, they actuality thought they had the British cornered however that was a falasy, they ended up running away after being overpowered and out witted.

If ya can leave the European Union or join it why carnt countries join the United Kingdom?

You have such a talent for so many different styles of music. You're amazing!

Personally, I have absolutely no wish for us to hold onto Gibraltar. They voted overwhelmingly to stay in the EU...and so they should. I would actually defend the Falkland islands with my life, but Spain can have Gibraltar. Go re-join the EU.

R H-M, I’m sorry to say that your comments about Hong Kong aren’t totally correct. Hong Kong island and Kowloon were ceded to Britain in perpetuity. Later Lantau island and the New Territories plus a few smaller islands to the south of Hong Kong, were signed over on a 99 lease. This represented 86% of the land and provided most of the water and power for Hong Kong. Hong Kong and Kowloon couldn’t exist without this territory hence everything was

🤔👍

Spain has every right to claim Gibraltar. Britain aquired the territory through WAR and have used it to control acess to the Mediterranean despite their own miserable island being thousands of kilometers away.
