BRUSSELS –  British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson says Gibraltar's status can only be changed by the territory's people and U.K. citizens, as the enclave becomes an issue in Brexit negotiations.

Johnson said Monday that Gibraltar's sovereignty "is not going to change and cannot conceivably change without the express support and consent of the people of Gibraltar and the United Kingdom."

Not changing longstanding policy just because Spain has a twist in their knickers again. The bits and pieces left over from the Empire are British until they wish not to be.

If Gibralter wants to become independant, cool. We'll help them do so, with our blessing.
