I feel that the Malvinas must be returned to Argentina and our navy should instead be relocated to Tyneside, England where they can control what's happening over here especially with gangs of youth on the streets just like I saw in Saranda and Duessi, not be in foreign places.

After the second world war, the allies suggested that Denmark could get South Slesvig back from Germany; old danish land but with a clear German majority. The left of danish politics declined; they did not want a land where the people did not want to be danish, historic rights didn't matter. It was a defining moment in Danish democracy. Argentina should it was a true democracy refuse a land where the people do not want be argentinians. The sovereignty of the Falklands has to be decided in Port Stanley not Buenos Aires or London.
