The Falklands Islands now has the highest income in South America, by like a factor of 3-4.

There's plenty of oil and natural gas in the Falklands area as soon as sheep industry dries up they will start digging for the oil and natural gas.

Even in 2021, we can look back at the heroic efforts of all. To be British is to be part of something x rip to all

The Falkland wars were definitely about British lifestyle and sheep. It definitely had nothing to do with oil, fucktons of oil.

You know, I wouldn't put it past Boris Johnson to actually pull the plug on the Falkland islanders. It's the kind of moronic thing he'd do.
