”So that disposes neatly of most of the ruling classes of America, Australia, New Zealand, England . . . Argentina!
In fact if the diaspora from Africa is taken as fact, no one has any rights anywhere except in a very small part of Africa.”


Well even by your standards that’s a stretch Nigel. Still got that nit-obsession then?

Funny how you sidestepped my point that those uninhabited islands are the subject of legal claims to ownership by the UK and Argentina, and unlike the times when the New World, Australasia, etc. were being colonised, there exists today an international court of justice precisely for the purpose of settling legal disputes between countries. It would make far more sense, and would be infinitely more likely to produce an impartial result, if the question of whose claim took precedence was settled by the ICJ, rather than leaving it to the biases of a small group of settlers.
