The names of the two Falklands scientists, Vlad Laptikhovsky and ex-president of CIAC Alexander (Sasha) Arkhipkin, just go to prove that the Falkland Islanders are a British (English) “implanted” population!!!!!!!!!!

@3 - Thank goodness they aren't, otherwise they would be added to the long list of things that are managed on a “counter model” basis, i.e. abysmally and on a short-term CFK-random-bi-polar-whim-of-the-day horizon, resulting in painful terminal decline.

Because the giant squid will be used to Argentine flesh when they were being chucked into the sea in the 1970 sand 1980s.

Besides how does the squid escape our subs?

To Briton

England I know you
from North to South
head to feet
days and nights.
I know your sun
your moon
your rain and sleet.
And I admire
your people's love
and courage, such
that there's no need
for England expects:
I know that now
or anytime
she'll back you
to keep your land
