Historically, whenever the question of "how did the British Empire retain control of this area adjacent to the ocean?" arises, the answer is usually "most powerful navy in the world."

I love how Spain continues to push the argument of proximity while still holding on to colonies just across the strait on Morocco's coast.

I never knew that Franco caught a mild case of death. That can be a real bummer. It's usually fatal, even if mild.
