The video doesn't work on that page for me, but I assume it's the Channel 4 here (https://twitter.com/sunapology/statu...427683184641):
Q - The logical end of what you're saying is "We should go to war with Spain if necessary"
A - No, what I'm saying is the current PM should, and I'm sure will, show the same resolve in looking after the interests of Gibraltar as Margaret Thatcher did looking after the interests of the Falkland Islands.
It's very clear what he means in that interview. If he didn't say those precise words then they shouldn't be in quotations in the headline - that's true (though they also spell Gibraltar wrongly) - but that's not the issue here.
It's still there, just the close bracket attached to it:

He says 'same resolve', and as he specifically refers to the Falklands conflict he can only mean war. Skirt around it if you wish, but this is clearly what he's talking about.
With the way Cameron and his pals have cocked up funding and procurement for the armed forces plus personnel
cuts we couldn't singe the eyebrows of the Queen of Spain. Unless May went nuclear of course.
He says 'no' and then says it could be like that time when we went to war and that he wants to remind the EU 'what sort of people we are'. It's clear what he is insinuating, the British are the sort of people who will use military might to hold on to their territory.
And see Gareth Bale locked up as a POW?????
I haven't quoted him as saying the word 'war' (I was paraphrasing because he was referring very directly to a war) and I don't think Spain are going to invade Gibraltar so no point addressing this.
What do you think he meant by banging on about the Falklands repeatedly, if not war? I'm interested to how you've interpreted his words. Or maybe he wasn't talking about the Falklands because he didn't directly say the name....
Of course he didn't say it directly, he's a politician. He reminds me of that other guy who argued with Paxman, the "did you threaten to overrule" argument, his identity escapes me for the moment.
In this case, he was asked a question and our conversation is about what he actually said because we have seen the video. Nothing at all like the Sarah Palin thing. It's crystal clear what he was talking about.
Footage emerges of the Admiral who made the above comment"we could still singe the King of Spain’s beard”.

Let's stop chattering on and do em
Let's drop a miniaturised nuke on Benidorm. Spain would immediately surrender with the added bonus of culling loads of British chavs.
I took the week of work to watch the invasion of Spain live on CNN , bugger all has happened ,whats the latest , is it trouble manning the gunboats , I'm sure Dai Hunt would skipper the leading boat .
