In the early 14th century, the Spanish attempted (as they seem to quite frequently) to occupy Gibraltar. While ultimately the Gibraltarian military was able to fend off the woefully impotent Spaniards (official memos refer to the invading force as "Cute,") the attack revealed some of the inherent flaws in the Gibraltarian systems of governance, checks, balances, checks and balances, and balancing checkbooks.

abstract	In the early 14th century, the Spanish attempted (as they seem to quite frequently) to occupy Gibraltar. While ultimately the Gibraltarian military was able to fend off the woefully impotent Spaniards (official memos refer to the invading force as "Cute,") the attack revealed some of the inherent flaws in the Gibraltarian systems of governance, checks, balances, checks and balances, and balancing checkbooks. The resulting economic backlash resulted in the Gibraltarian media becoming rife with satire, with a thick undercurrent of stinging social commentary. Such satire was outwardly endorsed by both sides of the political spectrum, along with the majority of the visible light spectrum, and my cousin's ZX Spectrum. The problem, however, is that this satire went largely unnoticed by the general public. As 99% of the population of the world was solely Poor People (prior to 1929) they couldn't afford to breathe the Nitrogen-Rich, expensive air above them. Instead, they were forced to make use of the low-flying, television-deprived air around them. The Gibraltanese figure-heads knew what they needed. They needed a man; possibly one with a plan. Fortunately for the Gibraltans, they found neither, so they began wasting taxpayers' dollars on funding what they called the Gibraltarinos Can Now Watch The Television Because The Air Is Free project, (later shortened to "Free-to-air" after labor disputes). This system was quickly adopted in many other countries, and fXe was born.
