Time and time again the Gibraltar people tell Spain they don't want to be part of Spain

Time and time again Spain complains

Time and time again hypocrites

I don't mind if you believe that "land makes right" or if you believe that "people have rights", but be consistent

I am saying, for the third time, that the people of Gibraltar are sovereing and have the right to choose. Same with Ceuta and Melilla.
"a similar agreement could be done with Gibraltat belonging to Spain, which I would consider fairer"

Take your colonial desires and stuff them back in the 18th century where they belong

What I mean is that it is not that important who Gibraltar belongs to as far as the desire of their population and the surrounding territories are respected. I add the surrounding territories because they are their natural hinterland, independently to who they belong, and therefore there should cooperation for the common good. I could not care less whether it is part of Spain or not, if you are happier with it.
