UK-Argentina conflict-News Analysis

Tensions between the UK and Argentina have escalated over the disputed Malvinas Islands also known as the Falklands. Argentine leaders have reacted with fury after UK Prime Minister David Cameron accused Argentina of "colonialism" for continuing to claim sovereignty over the Falkland Islands. Cameron says the UK will respond militarily if Argentina tries to reclaim the islands. The sharp exchange of words comes ahead of the 30th anniversary of the War between the two countries which killed 900 people including 255 British soldiers. In this edition of News Analysis, we will discuss this tension and where it may lead to. Source

Angelo: Join the line/club. Many would like to dispute the so called Akrotiri and Dhekelia British colonial army death camps also known as huge chunks of the little that is left of Cyprus for the Greek Cypriots. The British notoriously stripped the copper isle of its resources whilst doing their colonial thing back in the day and one suspects that in addition to the manipulative and war mongering purposes of maintaining overseas bases, the most productive gold/copper mineral mines are probably another reason for their choice to keep those particular swathes of our island. Whatever the reasons, here is their message in plain English "SOD OFF OUT OF CYPRUS BRITISH ARMY!" Cypriot hospitality should be reserved for guests not invaders or rapists. We know you love it so why not come back for a holiday and when packing remember, "leave the guns and WMD's, take the paklava!" Comprehend?
