What makes me Sick of that Bitch Argie
is she has no concern of those living /working on that island
they have Rights.


[The news came as Buenos Aries told the Prime Minister should return the islands to Argentina 180 years to the day since they were “forcibly stripped” from the south American country.]

The day that the Falkland Islanders wish to be Argentinian instead of British is the day we should hand the Islands over.

Why should a bunch of squatters dictate government policy?

How much is Fortress Malvenas costing us?

How many school places and operations could that pay for

Time to give it back and save money in this time of austerity. As for the squatters, give them notice to quit like you give notice to quit to any other people illegally occupying someone else's property

Never happen
to many Died in that War
no PM would waste it all.

That land was bought.
They own it.

The problem here, is that they have recently discovered massive energy reserves. That's why we won't let go, and they are demanding them back.

In my opinion we have no business being there, and should give them back. I'm sure a deal could be struck to allow the current islanders to remain there, and remain as ex-pats.

You are missing the Point
The Falkland Islanders do not want Argies in control.
The owners before us were French.

So it will stay British forever.

While we're on the subject of squatters :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demogra...#Ethnic_groups

The vast majority of the population of Argentina are the descendants of immigrants. The indigenous population is little over 1% of the total population.

Most Argentines are descended from colonial-era settlers and of the 19th and 20th century immigrants from Europe. An estimated 8% of the population is Mestizo, and a further 4% of Argentines are of Arab or Asian heritage. In the last national census, based on self-identification, 600,000 Argentines (1.6% of the population) declared to be Amerindians. Most of the 6.2 million European immigrants arriving between 1850 and 1950, regardless of origin, settled in several regions of the country. Due to this large-scale European immigration, Argentina's population more than doubled and consecuently increased the national population. Argentina was second only to the United States in the number of European immigrants received.

Immigrant population in Argentina (1869–1991)

The majority of these European immigrants came from Italy, Spain, Germany, Wales, Poland, Croatia, Russia, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Belgium, Norway and several other regions. Italian population in Argentina arrived mainly from the northern Italian regions varying between Piedmont, Veneto and Lombardy, later from Campania and Calabria; Many Argentines have the gentilic of an Italian city, place, street or occupation of the immigrant as last name, many of them were not necessarily born Italians, but once they did the roles of immigration in Italy the name usually changed. Spanish immigrants were mainly Galicians and Basques. Millions of immigrants also came from France (notably Béarn and the Northern Basque Country), Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Ireland, Greece, Portugal, Finland, Russia and the United Kingdom. The Welsh settlement in Patagonia, known as Y Wladfa, began in 1865; mainly along the coast of Chubut Province. In addition to the main colony in Chubut, a smaller colony was set up in Santa Fe and another group settled at Coronel Suárez, southern Buenos Aires Province. Of the 50,000 Patagonians of Welsh descent, about 5,000 are Welsh speakers. The community is centered around the cities of Gaiman, Trelew and Trevelin.

Not sure why you've quoted me in this post.

Every person in any part of the world other than East Africa, is descended from immigrants.

What's your point?

You seem to have a dislike of squatters - well, Argentina's full of 'em, so none of them have any right either to the country they poured into let alone another territory - they immigrated in their millions to plunder the natural resources and have got no intention of letting them go back to the indigenous population and remaining as ex-pats .....

I have absolutely no dislike of squatters whatsoever. Re-read the thread and you'll see that.

[thesheriff443]

to even mention giving back the falklands would be political suicide!,
we went to war for that place and we would go again!.

I honestly wouldnt care if the Falklands wanted to be independant, but they don't. Hell, even if they were, they'd suddenly become very vunerable without a whole Navy backing them up.

How much does this cost the UK tax payer?

We are enduring cuts in public spending closing libraries, hospitals and schools.

How many hospital operations could be paid for by the cost it takes to support Fortress Las Malvenas (It's proper name!!!)

According to UN conventions in the 1960's we were to give up the islands as they part of out dated colonialism.

None of that seems to take the islanders wishes into consideration, the majority of the islands wants to stay as a United Kingdom overseas territory, I think what the islanders want is more important than what some outdated suits from the UN want. The islanders are British citizens, they want to be British citzens, refusing them the right to be what they want to be would be unjust.

You can't just throw away responsibilities because they're costing you too much.

Should the US give up Hawaii "as they part of out dated colonialism" ?

or Guam?
