🇬🇮 Gibraltar escapes Brexit trap 🎉🙌
Gib didn’t fall for Brexit (96% boted Remain) bc it had already lived through Brexit isolation.
When Spain 🇪🇸 shut the border in 1970s–80s, Gibraltarians were cut off for 16 years. Families divided, goods airlifted, economy strangled.

There's space for five names in the submission boxes.
Let's go with:
Exxon Mobil

At last, those companies will get the recognition they deserve.
Pls retweet!
