Spanish School Stages 'Invasion' Of Gibraltar -- The Telegraph

In footage of the satirical play posted on YouTube, a group of socks-and-sandal wearing "Britons," carrying Union Jack placards and wearing the flag on their T-shirts, place their deck chairs in the centre of the auditorium, to the sound of the National Anthem.
