The U.N. decolinisation committee is nothing but a talking shop...more chance of the North getting handed over.

When hell freezes over. It would effectively hand over control of the med and to a lesser extent, the Suez Canal.

It does work both ways, that's the point I'm making. Spain have 2 tiny enclaves on Moroccan soil, we have one on Spanish soil and they're getting all stroppy about it. It's easy to say that geography shows that such and such should belong to so and so because of proximity. If that's the case, Alaska should be Russian again. Iceland is Danish. Look at all those South Pacific Islands, carved up centuries ago by the "super powers" of the time. (France, Holland, GB etc). It's all politics anyway.
