Only country that can lay claim to it is the French. The history of the Falklands was that during the colonial erase, possibly napoleon time, French troops were resting there. Our navy went passed, saw them, defeated them and ever since the union jack has flown there.
Long may it continue.

Okay, good answer. The Argentinians only bring this up when they want to deflect attention away from there failings as a government, they were rioting about food prices a few years ago and the president a day later said she was going to do everything to get the Islands back, it works every time.

So out of curiosity then, why ask the question? And what's your opinion on the Falklands

Because I am always puzzled as to why people get so worked up about an island thousands of miles away which plays little part in the day to lives of the average person in the UK. Like I said I don't really give two shits about whether or not it stays British. It's up to the people of the Falklands and at the moment they want to remain British which is enough for me I guess.

Totally agree with the principle Wez and if it is British it should remain British, but on the other hand, we only went to war over it, if we are honest, to keep Thatcher in power, because she had fucked up in Britain at the time.
Very similar, in many ways to her stance against the miners in 1984/85.
