The truth is we couldn't defend anything further than the other side of the Channel
Sep 28th, 2011 - 02:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0By Admiral Sandy Woodward
Admiral Sir Mark Stanhope’s warning yesterday that Britain does not even have enough ships to continue even the small operation in Libya, highlights the weakened state in which defence cuts have left our navy; a position from which we are incapable of defending our territory in the south Atlantic.

“Boost UK defence spending or lose the Falklands, warn military grandees”

And your chances of involving China in a war over the Falklands are what MoreCrap?

And I am sure The Guardian has more readers than homemade “lord whatever”.
You won't get any islands without a lot of shots being fired ....
Sep 28th, 2011 - 04:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0And that's a fact !
The Guardian's position has long been known, and derided. Their last Editor even admitted that they were out of sync with the British public.

Not that you know so much about Indian independence .... or ghandi :-))
The Falklanders had their 'Ghandi Moment ' in 1982 .... the RGs never did get them to drive on the right did they? And what was the name of that Irish RG army prat ? That young girl did a good 'Ghandi' on him. I wonder where he is these days....
Sep 28th, 2011 - 06:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0@12 ... I don't think the parrot really understands Ghandi or India at all.....
Obama might be the last president of the USA. The north american people now hate their government representatives so much the present governmental system in the USA may cease to exist.

You don't impose things and you don't whinge about something that happened 200 years ago.
This is democracy..you consult with people and ask them what they want...........jajajaajajajaja a lot of democracy I see ............ajaajajajajj
Sep 28th, 2011 - 11:42 am - Link - Report abuse 01) consult 1: we govern you as we like, but you can choose what butter do you want to eat next month?? We know of that we have been a colony.
You are few, close, not open to changes, all benefits to Britain not for you. A colony with other name, thats the only thing that changes.
And what happened in 1833 is the most important thing of this matter. That one that shows you dont have rights, that is why you dont want to talk about it.
@ 1 ... Chagos? Geography isn't your strong point is it......
Sep 28th, 2011 - 12:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#16 Oh malevolent one, what you choose to believe is immaterial, the islands are self-governing, any oil revenue goes to the islanders and peddling a fiction won't make that go away.
Sep 28th, 2011 - 12:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What happened in 1833 doesn't matter but what you claim happened didn't. Have a nice day now, be careful not to spit bile too much as it causes condensation.

@1 Hi goldilox. Have you tried looking up what is contained within the British Indian Ocean Territory? Really must try harder.
Sep 28th, 2011 - 01:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@2 That's what you thought in 1982!
@16 What happened in 1833 is no longer relevant. The right Britain, and the Falkland Islanders, have is known as “uti possidetis”. Look it up. Then remember who surrendered on 14 June 1982 and who was left in possession of the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. Remember?
Thanks to MercoPress. I wasn't aware of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office consultation. But I've made my contribution now. Thanks again!
