But Britain can't even produce bananas, Jack! That said, your point is well taken.

A casual scan of Wikipedia articles on the Falkland Islands -- this one, on the sovereignty dispute, and related pages linked to it -- shows that whatever benefit Britain ever gained from claiming the Falklands is quickly receding in the rear-view mirror, leaving only the responsibility of honouring the citizenship bestowed on the island group's people in 1983.

Post-Brexit Britain faces many unpleasant options, and dumping the Falklanders might well turn out to be easy in comparison with, for example, letting go of Northern Ireland.
