independence for the falklands

[Jessiedog]

I really dont see what is anachronistic about it - they're British Citizens entitled to remain a part of the UK as long as they want, the government can no more give them away to a foreign country than they could give away Devon for example. As long as they wish to remain British then they can, the moment they decide they want to be independent or join Argentina then they will be free to do so.

And anyway, you've just laid out the precise case that HK peeps made. Didn't save them from exactly that fate.

The case for the Falklands has nothing to do with the peeps living there as far as I can tell from reading this thread.

Expediency rules.

And a big stick.

Then you haven't read it very well.

Then you haven't read it very well.

I have.

I believe it's a more strategic, geo-political thang.

I don't believe that the UK govt. gives a shit about the people living there.

But that's prolly just my cynicism being aroused again.

When you see evidence of the UK govt giving a shit about the people who live here be a good chap and let us all know.
