Fonsini - I couldn't agree more.

When I was in a bar in Stanley (six years ago), one of the locals asked me where I was going next. As it happened, the next destination of our ship was Buenos Aires.

Without missing a beat, the islander said "give the b........ a kick from me."

One only has to look at the way the war memorial in Stanley is looked after (and the individual graves of British servicemen around the islands) to realise that it will be a very very long time before the Argentinians have the faintest chance of persuading the islanders to change their minds.
