He's sort of right in a small way, but for me its not about Empires now, its

the Islanders.

Many have lived their for generations and don't want to be Argentine.

They want to be a British Protectorate and that's their right.

We don't really own them anyway do we, I think if they do strike it rich its the Islanders oil not ours.

I think we'll do alright out of it though!
