And this morning we hear that Argentina will not meet with the Foreign Secretary to discuss the future of the Falkland Islands because some islanders were going to be present at the meeting. I know many of you will have seen this, I post this for the benefit of those outside the UK where it may not be big news.

Argentina's foreign minister has turned down a Foreign Office invitation to meet members of the Falkland Islands government in London next week.

Hector Timerman rejected the offer, saying: "The international community does not recognise a third party in this dispute."


So no interest in what the islanders think about their future. That says a lot.

Apparently the Foreign Office is considering a response. My suggestion would be, "You wanted to talk about it, we offered you the chance, you turned it down, end of negotiations, move on."
