Beware Gibraltar's Monkeys

I headed through southern Spain after a few days in Madrid and was surprised to find monkeys on the Rock of Gibraltar.

Not monkeys... Monkeys have tails... Barbary Macaques are apes

@godxavior

From the Encyclopedia Britannica:

Barbary macaque (Macaca sylvanus), also called magot, Barbary macaque (Macaca sylvana): tailless ground-dwelling MONKEY that lives in groups in the upland forests of Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, and Gibraltar... Because it has no tail, this monkey is sometimes incorrectly called the Barbary ape.

@Rikku2250 If I was a monkey, I'd shit on an Ireland shirt too. I wouldn't need to be prompted by my monkey owner.

@dany47unpro DON'T be so surprised when the Queen sells-you-English out to "GREATER" interests. Maybe THEN you'll finally wake up and REMOVE the Royals out of power but until that awakening happens you'll be slaves to your own stupidity.

@mamabayon If its a British colony and its residents want to remain British, it STAYS a British colony. However if it were a British colony and its residents would like to belong to another country it must be done through referendum and must be clearly obvious. How can a British colony whose inhabitants want to remain British be forced out? That now becomes a matter the Foreign Office must contend with and they will obviously stick by their rightfully owned colony.
