yeah it gets tiring on these threads reading some of the comments from chum(p)s who dont know any better.
We know the truth though, so damn the rest of the naysayers.
Concerning the article, I must say thats its good to see that we are sticking by our commitment to the Falklands (due in part to economic reasons ;]). Nothing is free on this world, and if we can get a nice big fossil fuel field in the South Atlantic, then us back home get some of the benefits.
As for our ability to defend ourselves and our territories in the event of an attack, I have every confidence. Battle hardened troops, protecting British territory...We would be fine.
Hi mate!
I definately agree that it is a good thing that the UK govt. is standing firm on the Falklands issue. By the way, what did you think of PM Brown’s speech yesterday? I thought it was quite good (of course it was a blatant attempt to woo Tory voters too :-))
