Despite some, admittingly, very strong argumentation towards giving back the Falkslands to Argentina, robbing people of their identity and land is a matter that should not be taken lightly. Former injustice in this regard, and sorry UK, that it was, still can't be made good with more injustice. Gibraltar, btw, is a very similiar case.

Firstly, the Falklands weren't populated. There was a Spanish outpost there for 2 years before the island changed hands.
Secondly, Gibraltar was given to the UK hundreds of years ago.
Thirdly, since you bring up 'the Rock' and how it is Spanish then why haven't you also mentioned Ceuta (

Where do you stand on the Basques and Catalans then? France and Spain had better hand them over fast.
The point is, it's not all black and white.
