Except 70% of the population are British. The remaining 29% are Kelpers, who are ethnic Islanders with British citizenship. In fact less than 1% are Argie. The Spanish speakers on the Island are Chilean, mostly immigrants from San Helena. Additionally the Argies never owned it for a meaningful period of time.Originally Posted by HoreTore
I feel the same way about this as I do with Gibraltar. Keep it British for as long as the population feels they are British.

Aye, and while we're about it, we'll have Australia back.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

Re: Falklands
The Argies know if they try anything they will just get kicked into touch again. It's just a lot of talk, their sovereignty claims are weak and really invalid.
