I refer to your original post which stated "Give it back to them" and to add to that so what have you actually contributed to a very serious thread apart from being a troll and hijacking what I feel was a perfectly good post?

Totally different we had Hong Kong on a lease type basis and gave it back as per terms ,Argentina never bothered with the Falklands they didn't want it ,the Portuguese and spainish when colonizing south America didn't want it either before Argentina was a country in its own right after independence but we did

These are the facts, the Malvinas historically have been Spanish, French, Argentinian and British settlements, the imperialist past resulted in the occupation by English speaking colonists. We are paying to defend more sheep than people, thousands of miles away when we are cutting services here! As for possible oil around the island if you read the bp report on shale gas and energy for the next 50 years it's a non starter. Loads of young football fans have given they're lives for the imperialist cause.

You don't half talk shit. Read the history. http://www.falklandshistory.org/
The Spanish never had settlers there, only a garrison.
The British were the first to sail to the islands and claim it in 1596, the British were the first to actually land there a 100 years later. The islands were uninhabited.
The French were the first to send settlers there in 1765, they jumped in as they knew the British were thinking of setting up a base there, which arrived in 1766. At first neither knew the other were there. The Spanish used family ties to force the French to abandon the settlement for which the French were paid their expenses in 1767. In 1770 the Spanish evicted the British, the British prepared for war and increased the navy size (Nelson would never have been able to join the navy without this). The Spanish needed the French to help in any war, obviously the French did not want to help, so the Spanish rebuilt the British garrison it had destroyed and the British returned in 1771.
In 1774 the British left due to cuts and the coming war with the American colonies, they left a flag and a plaque which claimed sovereignty. The Spanish remained in their garrison. Britain always claimed the whole islands, the Spanish just their one island.
In 1778 the Spanish created the Viceroyalty of the Rio de Plata, the southern limit being 41 degrees, the Falklands are at 51 degrees (over a 1000 miles away). the Spanish administered the Falklands garrison from Montevideo in modern day Uruguay, orders coming direct from Madrid.
In the 1780's the Spanish destroyed the British garrison again and stole the flag and plaque (we were at war with them at the time).
In 1810 the Spanish left and left a flag and plaque, the soldiers went to Montevideo to help fight against the insurrection against Spain.
In 1823 a French/German businessman Vernet with his brother in law gain permission from the United provinces to start a business on the Islands raising cattle and hunting seals, this fails within 2 months.
In 1825 Britain signed a commercial agreement with the United Provinces (later Argentina) the first to recognise them.
In 1826 Vernet makes a second attempt and this time he knows of Britain's claims to the islands and gains permission from both the UP and Britain to start his business.
In 1829 the UP appoint him commander of the Falklands (Malvina's as they call them, originating from the French name after the sailors from St.Malmo). On hearing this Britain sends an official protest to the UP government telling them not to assume sovereignty on land that already belongs to Britain. The UP does not even respond.
In 1831 Vernet captures American sealing ships who are hunting without his license. The Americans retaliate by sending a ship, the Lexington, which destroys his defences and removes the majority of settlers, leaving less than 30 on the Islands.
In 1832 the UP announce it will set up a garrison and penal colony on the Island, again Britain protests and again the UP does not respond. Britain decides to send some ships to reassert sovereignty.
In October 1832 the UP garrison arrives, within 2 months the men mutinied and murdered the senior officer. In December the British ships at the old British garrison and officially reclaims the Islands.
In January 1833 they arrive at the old French/Spanish settlement where the UP garrison was set up and forced the UP garrison to leave. They persuade all but 5 of the settlers to remain (they were there with British permission).
The UP government officially protested and continued to protest every year until 1850, where after a short war between Argentina and combined British and French forces. A Peace Treaty was signed which did not include any mention of the Falklands, under the law at that time, a peace treaty left all land in the hands of the holders unless specifically mentioned in the treaty. After this, Argentina stopped its annual protest.
Between 1850 and the 1940's only once was the matter raised, when they unofficially asked about arbitration in 1888, Britain replied that the matter was closed. In the 1940's Peron raised it as an issue when they thought we would lose the war and also claimed South Georgia and the sandwich Islands for the first time as well.
Don't forget that Argentina itself is the result of Spanish colonialism, and they murdered the local inhabitants to take the land. Argentina themselves spread South committing genocide against the inhabitants of Patagonia between the 1850's and 1888. Now they want to colonise the Falklands.

Thanks for the history lesson, however paying taxes to protect 1000s of sheep and and the butchers apron isn't good value for money and like the romans this will all come to an end!

They have been run by dictators and junta's throughout their history and could well go down that path again, the last junta murdered 10's of thousands of their own people, a fate the Falklanders could find for themselves in if we abandoned them.
The costs of our forces in the Falklands is not a major one in our overall spend, the type 45 destroyers are state of the art and if only a part what I have read about their capability is true then the one always in the South Atlantic should send a shiver down the Argentine's spine.
The Argentines themselves have nothing left, as that corrupt witch who runs their country has underfunded it as she is frightened of a coup. One of their ships sunk in port!
