British in name only...They are no more British than they are french or Italian, They are Falkland islanders not British.
Hawaii is thousands of miles away from the usa but is part of it. The distance thing has no bearing it is what the islanders want. As for the Billions it is now costng us. well read the attachment. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/falkland-islands-facts-19-things-679315
Waging war costs billions, and why not fight China for Hong Kong? If a referendum was held there they'd want to re-join the UK as well...
I thought you had gone from here. Have to have your two peneth and keep digging dont you. By the way we didnt wage war we reacted to our overseas territory being invaded.
Fully agree. Didn't they hold a referendum recently which resulted in the opting to stay with Britain?
If you think the Falklands don't cost us tax payers billions then you live in cookoo land. Its an eminence drain on the economy that we cant afford. There is nothing there, It's a **** hole of a place. What right have we to claim an island 10,000 miles away. I could not give two hoots who claims it as long as we dont, Let them run themselves if they want to live there...
I would agree , if they hate the UK so much , dont ever let Argie players thru the airport. ****ers . And when Barca come to play next time say , sorry , you spanish lads con come in but that Argie will have to get back on the plane.
I stand to be corrected here but I believe the Falklands was a British dependency before Argentina was even a recognised country. No doubt someone will confirm (or otherwise) the truth of this but, if so, the Argies can go and do one. In any event it stinks that they are trying to use the WC to promote a political issue. Any more of it and I would ban them as acting against the interests of what is a sporting event.
Let them run themselves? They would be happy to continue doing that . We dont " run " them . We just allow them to continue "running " themselves and not let the Argentine govt do it..
Cant disagree with this, But we already have some here that are being payed very well. If they dont like us why take the British pound.
Civil war lasted in Argentina until 1861 whereby the country was reorganised provincially and Buenos Aires established as the capital whereas Britain established itself on FI by 1833 So as you say Ivor, the argies can get stuffed!
HMS Sheffield. I don't care about what others think but i don't believe and have never believed that a small country like ours have any claim on any other piece of land that is thousands of miles away. It has always caused problems and start wars that is unnecessary and innocent people lose their lives. What bloody right have we to claim a small worthless bit of land just because we wanted it. the french did the same. we were nothing but pirates and thieves and now it's costing us big time. Sod them who choose to live on the malvinas or Falklands whatever they want to call it i don't care but dont expect our British servicemen and women to fight for something that is 10'000 miles away and pay through the nose with money and lives for it....Its not worth that for a barren piece of land....
Spot on Mikra, but it gives the eaton killers something to boast about, while we ordinary people die in patriotic ignorance. Patriotism, the biggest sham to curse mankind, and its biggest killer.
