“respecting the way of life of its inhabitants” who want to remain a British Overseas Territory.
“in compliance with international law”, but too scared to give the International Court of Justice a laugh.

I imagine that landing on South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands will be a problem. And passports will still have to be shown in the Falkland Islands, so the tourists will definitely have entered another country. And as they will be “respecting the way of life of it's inhabitants”, I guess they must have respected our wish to remain British! No, they will never take their “unrenounceable” claim to the ICJ, they have their reasons and we all known what those are!

““The recovery of those territories, and full exercise of sovereignty........in a standing and unrenounceable objective of the Argentine people”, concludes the presentation of the Bill.”

It is only for internal consumption......and will never be anything more than that...
