Good to see the UK taking its responsibilities in the South Atlantic very seriously. The World should be grateful that these territories are under UK governship, not some lackadaisical Third World effort that would only pollute or ignore them.
When Argentina eventually collapses it can be divided up between Brazil, Chile and the Falkland Islands. Only then will 'argentina' achieve its full potential.
It's the only way forward.

@ 1 ilsen,
l hope that the dismemberment of Argentina can be done in a gentlemanly fashion.
Each of us getting our correct share with no discord.
The last thing that we want is friction with Brazil or Chile.
However l think that we should get at least Sta Cruz Province.
After all the British were there BEFORE the Argentines.
lts only fair! lol, lol!♥

I've always wanted to visit this place, looks remarkable, glad that the UK does take care of its property and its people too, I think William Hague did a stellar job on the BOTs white paper, well done that man.

I hope they don't let unwanted neighbours set themselves up on the Sandwich Islands again for point scoring purposes, keep the meddling and the nosy off our territory .. no observatories.. nothing.. only UK people and settlements.

Many years ago, in the Civil Service, there was a joke that there two jobs which people were appointed to just to persuade them to resign at once. One was resident Inspector of Income Tax, British Antarctic Territories and the other was Gun Licence Control Officer, South Armagh.
