In another story ... Bad day at the office for our Man in Colombia
The British Embassy in Colombia made an embarrassing contribution to ceremonies marking the 31st anniversary of the Falklands conflict this week, when it referred to the islands as the “Malvinas”, the term used by Argentina.
In the Embassy’s official Twitter account, @UkinColombia, staff repeatedly posted advertisements in Spanish for a debate on the islands called the “Malvinas Falklands forum”, in stark contrast to the Government’s policy of always using the British name for the territory claimed by Argentina.
