How about we pick on some bloated tax dodging fat cats closer to home rather than some charity workers building a few shithouses for people with nothing in India?

All good points - the Argentine people did a brave and courageous thing in getting rid of their dictator and restoring democracy. By any test now, the roots of Argentine democracy are strong. That's why their legitimate territorial claims can no longer be dismissed in a high-handed fashion by us...

Why are your excluding military costs? - there is one soldier down there for every two islanders. That's not paid for by the private sector but by the British taxpayer. The Falklands is clearly not self-sufficient. We can't even find out the exact costs because they are hidden under so many...

And what is your solution oh great British patriot? Let me guess, like all right-wingers, you think the steelworkers can go rot. That's your patriotism, that's your love of the British people. You're a massive fake and you've been rumbled

You are proud that 1,000 people were slaughtered so that 1,800 sheepfarmers can work away under one red and blue flag rather than a blue and while flag? That scale of blood sacrifice and family tragedy and ruin you think proportionate and just? Are you at all aware we were in advanced...

There are 15,000 steelworkers in this country whose lives are about to be destroyed. If you love this country so much, tell me what you think should be done to save the livelihoods of these hard-working British people now under threat. Does your pride in your country extend to them? Or is it...

Wrong. Self-determination means determining your own destiny, not that of large country like Britain, nor its modern relations with other democratic sovereign states like Argentina. Everyone really knows once the brief interlude of Thatcher post-imperial madness is over, we will go back to the...

You were bullied at school, wern't you? Couldn't have been nice - seriously you should check how often you randomly mention schooldays in your posts.

Argentina - as the United Nations has decided. The tiny, tiny number of Falklanders, less than live in the few Brighton streets, are mainly settler Welsh and Scots, you need to look up what indigenous means.

You are not seriously implying that the Chinese have militarily invaded countries there? Or are you? Remember by that token the Chinese have also invaded the UK and will be in control of our nuclear industry shortly. All thanks to the patriotic decision of Cameron's government.

On the contrary, I think Britain is great and feel very lucky to be born and live here and it will be much improved if we have another government like the Labour one of 1945 that truly made this one of the best places in the world to live in. You see that's enough for me. Unlike you, you...

Sailing your gunboats around a place and sending trade delegations to sign development deals are completely different things. Yes, it would be nice if we were a bit more like the Chinese, investing in industries rather than bombing the **** out of places or threatening to do so

Lots of things but mainly it's my government involved in this antiquated bit of land robbery so I have a right to say balls to it. Self-determination means the right to be INDEPENDENT, not foist yourself on to a country the other side of the globe. If the islanders want to go their own way...

The population of the Falklands is about the same size of those attending Cardinal Newman school. It really is comical in this day and age we are attempting to hold on to places like that. The Empire is long gone lads, give it up
