Gibraltar who for years had a closed border with Spain which was only opened through EU pressure and negotiations,Brexit may now mean Spain will have the right to close the border again. There is certainly a lot of misreporting and scaremongering going on in the press.

There are usually consequences to major decisions. Good or bad is open to debate, but there are certainly unforseen consequences.
