Las islas Malvinas
Spain was conned into ceding the Malvinas to Britain in 1806. When Argentina evolved from Spain they (Argentina) claimed the islands back but Britain refused. Argentina continues to press its claim to sovereignty but the British government rejects change in the status quo.
Malaya
The British government saw fit to award Chin Peng two campaign medals and an Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his leadership of the Malayan Peoples anti-Japanese army in their fight against the Japanese occupiers. When he continued to oppose the re-occupation of Malaya by the British after the war they (the British) branded him a terrorist. Imperialist thinking had him a hero one day and a villain the next !!! However it was Malaya's leader Tunku Abdul Rahman the doyen of Merdeka who said that Chin Peng was responsible for advancing independence by three years. That alone makes him a patriot and certainly not a terrorist bandit.
