"I also happen to believe that the best way for the UK to re-take the Falkland Islands is
not to lose them in the first place, and given the potential wealth that might be found in that region over the next 20-50 years, a greater investment in the security of the Islands now can only be money well spent!"

Wasnt originally my idea actually, something I caught wind of in the press when Sandy Woodward and Julian Thompson were getting a tad worked up about defence matters during the latter days of the Brown administration. This was the scenario they figured we were vulnerable to and if they figured that it would work and they were two of the most senior commanders where CORPORATE was concerned, thats good enough for me. But I'm in complete agreement that the best way is to make sure you dont lose them in the first place which means taking the requirement to defend the joint seriously, not just paying lipservice to it as we appear to be doing at the moment.
