Interesting as it may be, it is not the topic of the thread

It is about as on topic as several other peripheral threads which have developed here. And there are some interesting points, although I did think we were discussing the Falkland Islands in English, not another Spanish name for the territory.

As someone said, it was a major military asset of our enemy and so fair game to be sunk, which is what it was. Should it need to be more complicated than that?

Early visit to the supermarket. Struggled to park for the jumble of trolleys left all over the parking bays. Are these people selfish, thoughtless or stupid – or all three? How long does it take to return the trolley to a trolley park, for heavens sake? They are no doubt the same people who park across two parking spaces and failing that, in disabled and family parking bays!:mad:

But isn’t the “brand” for sale?

Any money on offers for the brand from Russia or China???

All of these reams of history are irrelevant. The Falkland Islands have been a UK territory for more than 150 years, the majority of the islanders are British and the majority of them, the indigenous population want the islands to remain British. And that should be an end to it. The Argentinian claim is specious and demonstrably weak.

Many of us certainly do feel for you and share your worries. Sadly the media are fickle in their attention to news, headlining a new incident and dropping any reference to it as it fades from view. Some of us do understand how life must still be on a knife-edge in some areas and can only hope that gradually conditions will continue to improve and that your lives can return to normality.
