Conspiracy theories......

Der Spiegel, Bayern, UEFA.....Now there's a real conspiracy...
 
I always loved how this was painted as evidence to refute the conspiracy theorists questioning the beating of war drums as anything but typical imperial hubris

No, it was a threat to the task force, and a major one. It had bigger guns than any British ship, was escorted by Exocet armed destroyers, and at the same time the 25 de Mayo aircraft carrier was coming down from the north, with the commanding Argentine admiral having ordered a "massive attack" on the British fleet the day before.

Not only was it not a conspiracy, the British had specifically warned that any naval asset anywhere was liable to be attacked, and the only remote question mark is why they wobbled in Whitehall for so long before allowing Conqueror to sink the damn thing. If the British lost a carrier they lost the war. They knew, so did Argentina, which is why they tried so hard to get one. And if anyone wants a real conspiracy theory, the still going insanity of a belief that Argentina sank Invincible is a priceless one, involving magically transporting Illustrious down to the south Atlantic and building a fourth one in under a year.

I like the one about Prince Harry's missus being the first step in the plan for the UK to retake the USA.
