I have never been able to understand how countries can claim another as theirs even though they are separated by hundreds of miles by water. This might have been the norm in the 1700/1800's but its crazy to apply it now. Britain has ruled over Australia,America,South Africa, Ireland,Bermuda,Figi,Canada and New Zealand to name a few, only 80 years ago we controlled a quarter of the worlds population, 500 million at that time, if we were controlled by a small far away country I am sure we would all have different things to say and not a lot of people would accept it.

Money/Oil etc will always win in the end.

:thumbsdown:
 
And DavyG is in the thick of it,he stands to make a fortune if the oil is retracted:yikes:
anyone seen him lately?


Hi all, been very busy lately. So thats good. How are you all?
They are finally drilling the first well as we speak and yes that is exactly why the Argies are creating a bit of noise.
Share price is very volitile, so be extremely careful and never invest on a whim...ive my fingers crossed...bigtime!:thumbsup:

Liz told me about this in an email...I hadn't heard about it on the news yet. I'll read about the history of the Falklands war and how the UK came to own that area. I was in high school in 1982 and didn't follow what the issues were back them with Argentina.
 
When we had the empire and ruled all these coutnries, what IDIOT decided to come back here? :mad2:
