Three cheers and bloody hurrah for Iain Duncan Smith for having some backbone and standing up to both our government and Spain’s over the latters petulant and childish demands on Gibraltar

It’s been an awful long time since any mainstream politician of any stripe stood up to the demands of Europeans over anything but such feathers has he ruffled that:

“Iain Duncan Smith suffered a diplomatic rebuff prior to his three-day European tour, starting today, when Spain’s prime minister cancelled plans to meet him.

And it looks like IDS is not going to back down. Good. Now if he can stand the carpetting he is assuredly going to get in the press (“xenophobe, anti-Europe, intransigent, extreme right-winger…yadda…yadda…yadda”) then we’ll know that whether he’s actually got a brass set or not.
