Haven’t you just argued against your self? So there was no other side when they developed the technology?

Welcome back Wayne
I’m pleased, but I’m not sure it helped the Falklands.....I’m also not quite sure why you would throw stones at the Police.....

Welcome back Wayne
Yes, and I said so....
I was just alive for the Falklands, it didn’t register for me truth be told.
..because yellow vests weren’t de rigour then.

Hmmm, I can't answer for anyone else, but when you see the police/army make your dad stand at the side of the road, barefoot in January while they search his car based on nothing other than his Catholic name, you become motivated. When you see deliberate roadblocks at the gates to gaa games, delaying kick offs by hours it rankles. Or maybe it's the collusion, officially recognised years later but known locally in the 70s and 80s. I could go on...
Then maybe change your wording.
Do I? U.S.A....U.S.A!

How could a woman obsessed with ruling a couple of small islands thousands of miles away on the other side of the world which are historically part of another country be described as 'imperialist'.
It's just not fair.
Like the Americans sold them Skyhawks and the Belgrano
Am I allowed to point out they were British before Argentina existed as a nation state?

No you are not. Because the anti British group have said so.......

Not sure how you work that out. Argentina gained independence in 1816 and British rule was established in 1833.
However the timeline is immaterial. The point is that they are many thousands of miles away so owning them is imperialist, especially in this day and age.
It's called self-determination, look it up.
If they wanted anything else, we wouldn't hesitate to give them exactly that, like we've proven countless times with the disintegration of the empire.
Calling the Falklands "imperialist" is ridiculous.

Rubbish. Are you suggesting that they supplied Exocets during the Falklands War? Yes or no? If no, what's your point?

I don't need to look up 'self-determination'. That's because the people of Ireland expressed their wish for it in the 1918 General Election but were refused and unfortunately had to take up arms instead.
Its far too easy when you have colonised somewhere in the world with your own people to then claim that they are entitled to 'self-determination', irrespective of its geography.
