“The Falklands are British, we have all the rights over the Islands plus the Islanders want to be British” said Governor Nigel Haywood who did not discard a UN sponsored referendum so that Islanders can decide on their future.
In a statement from Government House, issued last Friday, the 21st October, it was confirmed that Emma Edwards has resigned as a Member of the Falkland Islands Legislative Assembly (MLA). And that His Excellency the Governor, Mr Nigel Haywood CVO, had accepted “with regret” the resignation.

The Falkland Islands right to self determination “is undiminished as is the support from the UK to uphold that right and no amount of posturing by others can affect that right”, said Governor Nigel Haywood in his ‘State of the Nation’ address to the Legislative Assembly at the opening of the budget session.
