Brian May BS: Falklands 'militarisation' (120* d) RE: BS: Falklands 'militarisation' 14 Feb 12

I think the Argentine claim is pretty groundless. Saying they're on the same Continental Shelf that Argentina is on is pretty dumb too - so is Peru, but they don't want that.

All that said, I said to my wife in 1982, if 'we' had offered every Falkland Islander £1,000,000 and a Spanish dictionary then listened for complaints, we would have been deafened by silence.

Lets be honest, we're there to keep our hat in the ring for oil and mineral wealth locally and Antarctica.

And Yes, I've been there - several times. I didn't find the Bennies particularly friendly towards the people who were ensuring their freedom to have English as their first language.

I'm so glad I'm not a politician because I CAN say 'I really don't give a shit'.
