    Opposing colonialism is being a sore loser now?

      You are aware that the first inhabitants of the Falklands were French? There was nobody to be colonised.

      Please explain to me how this is opposing colonialism? They want to colonise the Falklands themselves.

          They’ve belonged to them for over 200 years, I don’t see why they don’t.

            Thatcher’s dead and buried, defending British imperialism isn’t going to get her to sleep with you

              You’ve still not explained why Argentina should be allowed to colonise it and Britain shouldnt.

                By all the same arguments that you could invoke to justify British colonization in the first place, assuming you’re not going for bullshit like “god gave our King that holy right”.

        There’s evidence of pre-Columbian Argentine peoples using the island.

          Ah, yes, the fact that prehistoric Fuegians may have visited the Falklands surely means they’re the birthright of Argentina. Airtight anti-colonialist explanation.

        The islands are on the continental shelf.
