    The Falkland issue can easily be solved by either giving independence to the islands or by bringing them in as part as the UK and giving the islanders the vote and an MP in parliament. The French have done the latter to there ex-colonies and it works fine.

    In England we pick on Bill Posters.

    Perhaps they are related, having the 'one of life's victims' gene.
    Don't forget poor old "Will".

    Can't we bundle it up with Scotland when the oil has gone?

    In 1982 we didn't know about any oil. We took a huge risk to win them back as a matter of principle.

    Which went down well with the electorate.

    Hence the decision to invade Iraq in 2003.

    Which sort of didn't.

    I think it comes down to the fact that simply the inhabitants want to remain British, so we must protect them as long as they do.
