Falklands - UK and Argentina in new war of words over Island

Published on Jan 21, 2012 by
http://www.euronews.net/ Tensions are again mounting between Argentina and Britain over the Falkland Islands, in the run-up to the 30th anniversary of the brief war the two countries fought over sovereignty.

At a small demonstration outside the British Embassy in Buenos Aires, the Socialist Workers Movement denounced the British Prime Minister David Cameron, who has accused Argentina of being "much more than colonialist" in asserting its claims.

Argentina wants Britain to negotiate sovereignty at the UN; London refuses.

Enough lives, both Argentinian and British were lost in the conflict

Often countries raise issues such as this to divert the voter´s attentions from problems closer to home

The bottom line is let the residents decide what they want. Not Argentina and no Britain.
