Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson suggested in a meeting with top brass, that UK forces should pelt Spanish war ships with paintballs in a bid to humiliate them.
He made the suggestion off the back of a huge upsurge in Spanish vessels entering British waters off the Rock.
The illegal incursions by Spanish vessels stands at two a day now, from 541 in 2017, it shot up to a total of 816 in 2018.
A source told The Sun that the 42-year-old's suggestion left Chief of Defence Staff General Sir Nick Carter 'rolling his eyes' in front of Williamson.

The senior military source told The Sun: 'Gavin Williamson comes up with some pretty off the wall things, but firing paintballs at the Spanish Navy beats the lot of them.
'It was an excruciating moment when everyone in the room realised he was deadly serious. Private Pike strikes again.'
Williamson has been dubbed Private Pike after the ditsy character from Dad's Army, frequently referred to by Captain Mainwaring as 'stupid boy'.

The Ministry of Defence insisted Mr Williamson was joking when he suggested the paintballing tactic.
An MoD spokesman told The Sun: 'While the Defence Secretary was speaking in jest about paintballing Spanish ships, he is in favour of the Royal Navy taking a strong stand against Spanish incursions into sovereign British waters'.
He has raised eyebrows before with his 'strong stance'.

He wanted to send a Royal Navy Type 45 destroyer to the Spanish territory of Ceuta on the Moroccan coast to deal with the growing Spanish threat.
The news comes as Williamson recently warned enemies not to mess with Britain.
The stark warning came as he unveiled the country’s new fighter jet fleet.
Speaking at RAF Marham in Norfolk, home to the RAF’s Tornado and F-35 jets, he said: 'Britain’s cutting edge air power makes the nation’s commitment to a role on the world stage “clear to both our allies and our enemies”.'

The illegal in...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
