Don't blame the chap, he's just too busy working on the demolition of social care in Britain to take a look on the historical facts and diplomatic status of the conflict.

Conqueror a dictatorship is not democracy...go back to school maybe you learn the difference....
oh by the way i read that article from the guardian...im so impressed the way the british press tries to distorts the reality....
i read in The Times to british people saying to negociate the islands, and not because of that is that the british want to give back the islands...as in everywhere there are different opinions...
but saying that a growing number of young argentinians are questioning the malvinas...LOL and i though the argentine press was sensationalist...obviously i hadn't seen the british press...

PM says

re-colonization argument for Gibraltar.......

I say :

This British spider web lets the City get involved in business that might be forbidden in Britain,providing sufficient distance to allow financiers in London plausible deniability of wrongdoing.Much of the financial activity hosted in that places breaks laws and avoids regulations elsewhere....
The overseas territories the ring in the spider web ,are the last surviving
outposts of formal British Empire..with just a quarter million inhabitants between them they include some of the world's top secrecy jurisdictions..the Cayman Islands,Bermuda,British Virgin Islands,Turks Caicos Islands ,Gibraltar.

This year, will be the year of the British [truly]

Everywhere you look, every telly you turn on , every radio , you will see or hear the British celebrating, it will be the year of celebrations,
And we invite the world to watch in awe, and celebrate with us .
We are even arranging front row seats on the beaches and cliff tops
Of eastern argentine beaches, so you all can watch the distant fireworks in the night sky,
Now isn’t that very nice of us ,
So enjoy the British celebrations and be happy

.
