News this week I have been flooded with articles and tweets with headlines about pneumonia Whuan (AKA "Cononavirius"), bush fires in NSW, VIC and ACT, Kobe Bryan deceased apparently because his pilot didn't have a license for flying in cloudy weather, and the Brexit.
I didn't particularly like these topics, I preferred to read about science, culture, and sports but certainly, Brexit, looking at how our "beds are burning" and this new potential pandemic, my apocalyptic mood triggered like a sci-fi dystopic b movie.
I knew that the UK continues having protectorates, territories and remotes ilands (like Falkland / Malvinas islands closed to Argentina), due to the colonialism era. We normally accept that these geographic places are usually in either in developing countries, isolated places or both. This article talks about a big rock with an airport and 32000 inhabitants, located in the south of Spanish.
This rock territory and the two Irish borders are the only UK borders connect with other UE countries, but Gibraltar is the only one that is isolated. The article explains that all UK workers live in Spain and travel a few minutes to their workplace.
Gibraltar is also the territory with a tax haven, UE has benefits that they are trying to stop as soon as possible and is actually one of the points of the Bretix agreement.
I am very tired this is my link and yes, there is a lot of endemic macaques.
