Hussein’s already gassing up for a trip to the Maldives to show “our” support against mean ol’ England.

What do you suppose the consensus would be if the Falklands had our immigration policy?

Like anybody would actually vote to become part of Argentina...

"Britain will respect and defend their choice. We look to all UN members to live up to their responsibilities under the UN charter and accept the Islanders' decision about how they want to live."
Fine for the Falklands, but let's see if Cammers is as resolute when it comes to Scotland.

Considering the mess the UK has made of itself since the Falklands war the choice may not be as clearcut as it used to be.

For the most part, the only Argentinians on the Falklands are those soldiers KIA and left behind by the Argentine Government. The Brits did all they could to ID the dead. They offered to return them to Argentina. But the Argentine Gov. refused. They just wanted to leave an "anchor" behind.
The Brits actually built a Military Cemetery and gave the dead a full military funeral.
I do not believe the actions of the Argentine Gov are lost on the few living Argentinians left on the Falklands...

It’s Ironic that the Faulklands can have a referendum on remaining in the UK, but Scottland cannot, and neither can the entire UK on whether it would be beneficial to remain in the EU (SSR)!
