British citizens my backside. So British they don't want to come anywhere near Britain. They want to have their cake and eat it. Distance IS a factor. Look at what it's costing us to maintain and defend this pitiful piece of nothing on the other side of the world. Look at what it has cost in lives. The Argies can have them and if it's selfish citizens don't like it they can come to the UK to reclaim their birthright.

If Argentina decides to attack the Falklands then that would be a really really really stupid move.
They were humiliated in 1980 and they will be humiliated once more if they decide to launch any kind of attack. I'm afraid that if Argentina does attack and Britain retaliates then the whole of South America might get involved and back up Argentina
