Argentina RIPS UP Falklands pact with the UK and demands 'renegotiations on the islands' sovereignty' – but James Cleverly insists they 'are BRITISH'

• Argentina ripped up co-operation pact with UK and demanded talks on Falklands
• It claims sovereignty over islands, despite them being British territory since 1833

Which part of the Islanders telling them repeatedly they want to be British don't they understand?

Do you think Nato will intervene if they invade? Will France send aid?

Do we know the current for:against % on this?

https://lordslibrary.parliament.uk/s...as%20territory.

In a referendum held by the Falklands Government in 2013, 99.8% of the voters did so in favour of remaining an overseas territory of the UK. In 2021, two members of the Falkland Islands Legislative Assembly told the C-24 that the majority of the territory’s residents wanted to remain a British overseas territory.

its a better percentage than the SNP had.

I suspect after the unpleasantness during the war being under the Argentinians in any current lifetime is unlikely.

Finally, a white flag appeared at the schoolhouse, and our platoon commander and two others went forward to take the surrender. As they approached, the enemy shot them dead.

nice people just like the Taliban & Palestinians.

Later that day a white flag was flying over the Falklands capital. We in 2 Para, I am proud to say, were the first into the town.
I was shocked by the state it was in. Stinking corpses were lying in the streets and the place was filthy, with human excrement and garbage everywhere.
Anti-aircraft guns had been installed in the school playground, and the Argentinians had painted red crosses on their ammunition stores and officers’ billets. That disgusted us even more than the mess.

I was informed they were lots of young men who were conscripts just like those Russians.

They probably were despite out militaries small size it is well respected for its professionalism.

Abusing the white flag or red cross are rightly considered a war crime.

Sorry, is that:
James Cleverly insists they 'are BRITISH'
or
James cleverly insists they 'are BRITISH'

Ironically, (a) the nearest county to the Falklands is Chile (b) Brexit made the British position weaker

Have the maps changed? They were always closer to Argentina in the past.
