Smart move on Cameron's part. If the UK is really going to exit the EU they going to need all the overseas trade they can get. At the same time, if a significant relationship can be build on trade and assistance then future Argentines might think twice about putting it all at risk by doing something stupid in connection with the Falkland Islands. Building for the future.

it would have been of interest to know what Macri replied to the hands of the Falkland's bit.

Lets be honest the Argies were starting to almost be annoying,

But the Referendum showing overwhelming support from the Free People of the Falkland Islands for their maintaining their close relationship with the UK, totally destroys any arguments Argentina may put forward.

I'm waiting for hepatia to announce that Argentina's latest interceptor aircraft, machine gun armed Tucanos, will be replaced by jet aircraft within the next 25 years.
