Mischief & Glory

🚨🇫🇰 NEW: Argentina’s Vice President says Falklanders should go back to England “If they feel English, they should go back to the thousands of miles away where their country is”

The reason Britain’s relationship with the US is in the toilet is because Starmer played student politics for his own political survival. Granting access to use our bases was a simple courtesy (as the Americans pay for them!). It didn’t mean entering the war. Keir said No to butter up his left wing and so we have alienated the one guarantor of our national security. Without the US we don’t have an independent nuclear deterrent. This stupidity has made Keir feel popular (er, no) but will cause numerous knock-on effects. Emboldening our enemies- Russian subs in the North Sea - for one. Trump is a grudge bearer and we are in trouble.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FALKLAND ISLANDS FOR MY AMERICAN FRIENDS. British by discovery, British by settlement, British by blood. First sighted by Englishman John Davis in 1592 and first landed by Captain John Strong of the Royal Navy in 1690 — 126 years before Argentina even existed. Britain founded Port Egmont in 1765. The islanders today are overwhelmingly of British stock — English, Scottish, Welsh, and Ulster descent — speaking English, flying the Union Flag, and identifying as British in every census. When Galtieri’s junta invaded in 1982, Thatcher’s Task Force sent them packing in 74 days. British losses: 255. Argentine losses: 649 dead, over 11,000 surrendered as prisoners. The cruiser General Belgrano alone took 323 of them to the bottom of the South Atlantic. In 2013, the islanders voted 99.8% to remain British.

First of all...we DON'T hate you. 🙄 Second..what an absolutely ridiculous statement. 🙄 Third....ugh, I'm done. Not gonna say it.
