Originally posted by zeitghostThere are about 3000 Falklanders. surely it would be cheaper to buy them off for a couple of million quid each, It would cost Argentina a lot less than the Falklands war did and the returns would make that look like small change!A Foreign Office spokesman had said previously: "The people of the Falkland Islands are British out of choice. They are free to determine their own future and there will be no negotiations with Argentina over sovereignty unless the islanders wish it."

Why not offer to issue free Work Visas for the Falklands to the Argies so they can live and work there.
See how many are snapped up.
About four I reckon.
If the Argies ever got the Islands I bet few Argies will want to move there of their own free will.Comment
