Should Britain cede control of the Falkland (Malvinas) Islands to Argentina.
I remember Maggie Thatcher going to war with Argentina over the Falklands when I was a kid. I'd expected the British Navy to completely route the Argentinians; but not so. While the British won the war in the end, there were considerable losses on both sides in terms of both human lives and military/navel assets.
30 something years down the track and the issue of the Falkland Islands has never really been resolved. Let's solve it here right now before we have to bring in the peacekeeping forces of Jamaica, mon.

The islands have never been inhabited by Argentina and the people on the island want to remain British. Argentina have only started moaning again because oil has been found there. The main thing is that the people want to remain British, whilst this is the case the islands will remain British. Side: Britain
