As I suggested in an earlier post, if DC (or whoever is PM at the time) proposes a referendum amongst the FI population, it will be seen by the UK public as bowing to international pressure and an absolute gift for the opposition - and followed by certain political death. Perhaps I'm wrong, perhaps the UK public are happy for a referendum on the sovereignty of a high-profile OT (even if the outcome is abundently clear).

Let's maintain our defences, with frequent media coverage of our routine deployments, refute the nonsense from Argentina in a measured way, and that's it. Boycotts of British financial interests, although considerably greater than Aregntine interests in Britain, will do considerable damage to their weak economy.

Where's my Fray-Bentos pie?
