Keep the Falklands British

Just read in this mornings Newspaper that the Argies are trying to gain sovreignty of the Falklands Islands once again, this time not by sending their armed forces to take the place by force (slipped up with that one last time), they are bringing it up at a meeting of World Leaders.

Now surely this as nothing to do with the fact Britain as discovered significant Oil and Gas reserves in the area.

Lets look at the important facts, the islanders themselves want to stay under the British Flag, they speak English, we fought for these islands and won, time to stop giving British sovereign territority back.

For the record our little country once ruled half the world and we still have 14 outposts left all of which want to stay under British rule, end of story.

Its just over 25 years since the Falklands War the last time British soil was invaded by a foreign power and wikipedia gives a good account of the War for those interested in history :-

Story of the Falklands War

And here is a tribute to the British Forces who won that War and took the Islands back :-

I agree. Sadly, most of the places that you Brits have given back have become horrible cesspools of corruption and backwards government. Look at the USA as a perfect example...!!!
