Say England "gave" the falklands to Argentina. What would change there. Surely there are conventions or something that would not allow anyone being evicted. Couldn't the inhabitants carry on their normal lives? If so is it worth going to war over something that wouldn't chaage that much. Or are there bigger things at play like oil.

The only reason Argentina has ever made this spurious claim is so it can get hold of the mineral rights.

Is it not the nearest country then?

So should France own the Channel Islands then ?

Morrissey is an ignorant prick who jumped ship claiming immigrants have strangled Britain.

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-496992/Morrissey-refuses-live-UK-immigration-explosion.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/ar ... osion.html</a>

The 48-year-old added: "Other countries have held on to their basic identity yet it seems to me that England was thrown away.

"If you walk through Knightsbridge on any bland day of the week you won't hear an English accent.

Coming from the Son of Irish immigrants and also from someone who earned his fame and cash in old blighty he's coming across as an old fashioned bigot and idiot.

Stay in Italy you muppet :-)

It was a question i didn't know the answer to and one in response to Argentina only wanting the mineral rights.

However if Argentinians discovered the isle of man first there would probably have been a war over it already the other way round.

But they didn't so bit of a non topic.

Falklands was when i was a nipper and nothing was taught about it when i was at school so i know little and was merely looking to learn a bit more.

Argentina didn't discover the Falklands first, and that is a fact. The only country with a genuine claim for sovereignty is the UK.

I know. The British did. I was saying theoretically if Argentina discovered the isle of man first then Britain would have laid claim at some point

Yikes. You know when you go up a country road that only tractors go on, and it's worn down at the sides where the tyres have been but there is a strip of overgrown grass in the middle? I think you know where I'm going here.

So how do you justify ''the Irish situation'' then? Blighty can't have it both ways...
