Falkland Islands – WTF???

by Dougie   on February 25, 2010

What the hell are we doing messing about with them for?
Does anyone feel the same as me that we’re being a bit of a bully?
The islands have had a very chequered history as far as sovereignty goes but blimey…..I’m sure if Argentina pulled a big oil exploration rig over to the Isle of Man and started drilling holes willy nilly we’d have plenty to say. Our days of Empire building are over…and I really don’t care that we have had a population there since 1833…it’s off their coast…it should be theirs!
Christ have we not lost enough lives over oil already. We will get by without it, Gordon!
….and yes, I am sorry that we lost so many lives in the Falklands War…but I was against that too!
It’s not right…and you won’t be able to convince me otherwise.
