1) Great Britain has controlled the Falklands since before Argentina existed.

2) Argentina has never had a significant presence on the islands.

3) The population is predominantly British ethnically.

4) The population speaks English, not Spanish.

5) The Falklanders want nothing to do with Argentina.

I think Argentina needs to fuck off. But then again, that's just my opinion.
