Disclaimer & comment rulesLet's be honest and fair about this. In terms of seats, the LibDems are a minority. David Cameron has made it clear that the British Government will maintain its position and there will be no backward steps either on Gibraltar or the Falkland Islands. Spain, and its bastard offshoot Argentina, should take very clear note.

They were always racists about latinamerica, typical british culture, that's not strange at all! Between pirates colonys, sentiments are shared!

Even the Spanish don't care anymore fewer and fewer people every year in Spain support the claim, last opinion poll showed less than 40% of Spaniards supported the claim, an even greater % just didn't care, thats down 50% from 30 years ago!
Perhaps Argentina should be taking lessons from the Falklands and Gibraltar, who have put the wishes of the people before small term political gain and presidential vanity....
Argentina couldn't take lessons. They don't have that much intelligence.
