While I pick my teeth out of the carpet from Bat-Dan’s vicious counterpunch (Zapp!! Bamm!!! Sockk!!!!) do yourself a favor and read Bret Stephens’ absolutely brilliant column for this week:

Rather than waste time and money on a fruitless diplomatic brawl, Prime Minister David Cameron should say he’s prepared to relinquish Gibraltar to Spain—on just one condition. That would be a declaration by the Spanish government that it will renounce its own claims to the cities of Ceuta and Melilla, which lie opposite Gibraltar on the northern coast of Africa…

Of course, Madrid couldn’t just turn over Ceuta and Melilla without asking Morocco to readjust its own territorial claims…

Stephens traces a bewildering array of territorial disputes sweeping all the way down from Britain to central Africa and back up through central Europe and over to Greenland and beyond. Once you start to unravel the nation-state, where do you stop?
