Please stop all this nonsense talk of Argentinian indigenous, peace loving people being forced out of the Falklands by British colonists at gun point.
Maybe we can discuss the way that the indigenous people of what is now Argentina were brutally robbed of their country?
The subject of Gibraltar was also raised.
I find it amusing that Ceuta and Melilla are never mentioned when discussing foreign enclaves in that part of the world
Some of my family were born and bred on the Falklands and one of my cousins flew helicopters during the 1982 conflict.
Their general view is that prior to the invasion by Argentina in 1982 the Falkland Islanders had good relations with Argentina and the best way of persuading them to give up their British status was to build bridges and persuade them that their future would be better.
As we all know, in 1982 the Argentinian government was more likely to torture and murder people that disagreed with them.
Having enjoyed freedom for so many hundreds of years, it is easy for Britons to forget that many countries have only recently arrived at that place, often paid for in British blood.
Yesterday I stood and watched the coffins of 6 young men who died trying to bring freedom to Afghanistan as they were driven to their final resting place.
Due to our history, we are an easy nation to throw insults at, especially by “internet heroes” to coin a phrase. Call me jingoistic if you wish. I am proud of most of what my country has done.
