Default Re: The Falklands

I'm not sure about the logistics of how it can be enforced should the Argentinians get more actively stroppy about them (as opposed to winging and creating like a spoilt child which seems to be the current tactic) but no, the Falklands should not be given to Argentina. Along with many other random bits of the world, the islands that became The Falklands were uninteresting, uninhabited rocks when the British laid claim to them. It isn't a case of "should we give them back" because they weren't Argentinian to begin with. As others have said, it would be like the French asking for the Channel Islands back.

If the Falklands had no natural resources except penguins, the Argentinians wouldn't give a stuff. A bit like we wouldn't have done if Kuwait's only natural resource had been sand.
