Sadly true of many PM's of all parties.
Yep...
An election is simply a pretend attempt at 'democracy'...
Whilst turning over the dung heap and seeing which turd is at the top!
I think on balance we were right to retake the islands, enough time has passed to do a sensible sale and leaseback deal with Arentina, with re patriation rights for the islanders who wish to leave.. It wont happen because the islands are a reminder that we were once an empire, and give hope to those who still think we are.
Nothing to do with the saddos who don't understand that britain was never great...
It's about the resources that abound in the seas off the shores of the malvinas islands...
Back in the seventies there were the cod wars with Iceland that ended with the UK disputing but having to agree to a 200 mile exclusive fishing zone...
Funnily enough the UK used the same tactic for a total exclusion zone around the malvinas islands...
"British ministers were keen to exploit oil around the Falkland Islands before and after the 1982 conflict, declassified British government documents show.
In a previously unpublished letter, the former chancellor Norman Lamont said the revenues from Falklands oil should go to the British government, not the Falkland islanders"
But going back to the biggest turds hypothesis...
"Lamont added: “We would not want to give credence to the accusation that our Falkland Islands operation was motivated by a belief that there was oil to be found in Falklands waters, which would be quite untrue.”
Biggest lying turds is more appropriate!
