Thatcher should not be put in the same category as Blair, Major or Cameron.

The Falkland Islands are British, and our troops were sent to defend our own against the Argentinian aggressors. If Argentina wants to argue the toss about who has most claim to the islands, it should do so through the UN. The Falkland Islands have been under British sovereignty for almost 200 years, and the bulk of islanders are of British descent. Furthermore, it was an Englishman who made the first recorded landing on the islands in 1690.
