What if people believe British colonists occupied the islands by force in 1833 and expelled settlers and began a population implantation process on a lonely pair of cold islands, 8700Nm from London? (see BBC article)

The people (or more importantly, the media ) from USA, China, Brazil and Russia could think it's nothing but a belated farfetched neo-colonial war..

The holy rights of 3000 (!?) "implantated" fully UK government dependent people seems constructed. Get real. What about the millions Kurds, Armenians, Basques, Palestinians, Tibet..


.. Playing the devils advocate here But IMO better ask the USA and Brazil first how they think about it. Little chance of new old glory I'm afraid.
