A good week for the Falklands lobby team, and strong support it would seem from Labour friends.

@2. You do know that Corbyn likes the idea of “power-sharing”, don't you?
Think on this. In argieland, the province of Tierra del Fuego has four departments. Two of those “departments” are “disputed”. First is the Antártida Argentina Department. The one that has argieland claiming part of Antarctica that had been legally claimed by Britain 34 years before. Guess when that happened? 1942. Wasn't Britain well involved with the Second World War just then? Sneaky underhand argieland. No real problem until the Antarctic Treaty System ends. Then the Falklands can take a proper role while argieland is defeated and crippled. Then there's the Islas del Atlántico Sur Department. That's you. Imagine Corbyn offering a bit of “power-sharing”. Argie ships can get to your Islands in about 10 hours. Royal Navy warships at maximum speed will take 12 days.

You have no Labour “friends”. The Labour Party, even without Corbyn, has done its best to destroy the Britain you might once have known.

Corbyn's selection is a call to arms for those that remember the real Britain. The real Britain doesn't have “multiculturism” because there aren't enough foreigners to worry about. Any that there might be learn to integrate or else. There are no benefit scroungers. The population as a whole wouldn't permit it. There is no EU with power over the UK. Nor any ECtHR.

“Socialists”, of any persuasion, are required to serve at least two years in the armed forces, during armed conflicts, to ensure that they learn to put their country and fellow citizens before themselves.

Conq- actually the Falklands s have lots of very firm and very sincere and meaningfull friends in the Labour Party who stick up for our rights just as much as the Conservatives. All the time Lab was in power they always ring fenced the Falklands every time there was a Treasury defence cuts review.
Corbyn does not much worry us - we agree - he will not make it to No 10 as the British electorate may like a few lefties shouting in parliament at times- but NOT one in No 10! recall the fates of Michael Foot and the other Welsh windbag?
