last year I was speaking to a couple of long time Falklanders (one of who spent 40+days locked up in a shed near Goose Green in 1982)
They both reckoned that in the 1970's the general view was that (ufortunately) the Uk was going to ditch them and they were looking forward to a Hong Kong type of solution with maybe a 99 year phase in of Argie rule
people were sending their kids to Uni in BA and some were learning Spanish. The Argies had an enlightened view and were subsidising the only air link
The 1982 invasion was purely to protect the military in Argentina from protests aboutthe regime there and it put back co-operation for a lifetime
If Mrs Kircher would just shut up and offer a weekly flight to BA, maybe a deal on higher education, some sort of develoved Govt then in maybe 25 years the locals would accept
the REALLY odd thing is that no-one can pordcue a single Argentinian who wants to go & live in the Falklands - and I can see their point TBH - its purely a politcial issue
