As I said, Roger. Anti-British prejudice at the UN. There is no legitimate reason to keep the Falklands on this list (or many of the other BOT's for that matter) and yet they remain.
Full UK integration would remove some of the arguments of our enemies, c.f. Hawaii statehood.
Replying to @rogerlorton @KingBobIIV
Depends how it is done.
They could keep exactly the same powers of self-government, including control over borders. However, they would elect an MP who can vote on matters affecting the Falklands, principally defence and foreign affairs, and also act as a voice in parliament.
Replying to @rogerlorton @KingBobIIV
Not true. The US had Hawaii and Alaska removed. Denmark had Greenland removed. France has had several territories, including St Pierre and Miquelon, removed. You just have to ask and nobody at the UN blocks it. In theory, the 2013 ref should have been sufficient for Falklands.
Replying to @Jenny_1884
Sorry but this simply isn't true. Trump has cosied up to Putin, the West's number one enemy and has undermined NATO. He has all but destroyed the special relationship between the US and UK. His pointless war in Iran has doubled fuel prices. He is a terrible president.
Replying to @rogerlorton @KingBobIIV
I think the status of BOT's should be changed to make them (on paper) fully integrated parts of the UK, but with devolved government (like Scotland). They could elect MP's to Westminster, though with restricted voting rights. One MP could cover Falklands, St Helena & Gibraltar.
Replying to @rogerlorton @KingBobIIV
The Falklands should not even be on the list of non self-governing territories requiring "decolonisation", particularly since the 2013 referendum. Similar territories like Saint Pierre and Miquelon or the Faroes do not appear. Another example of anti-British bias at the UN.

It looks like Guinness 0.0% if you zoom in on the can.
Regardness, non-alcoholic beers are brewed liked beers before having tbe alcohol removed. They still have traces of alcohol and are thus haram. Maybe these ginger incels won't get their 72 virgins in paradise after all?

I remember working in Blackburn, Lancashire, for a while. Basically a town of third world slums segregated between muslim and white working class areas. In the centre, and dominating the town, a gleaming white tower. The socialist council. Straight out of the USSR.
Replying to @rogerlorton @KingBobIIV
I would like to think so. However, the ICJ is dominated by Russia, China, and many third world dictatorships and other countries that hate the UK. Even our own left-wing "anti-colonialism" lawyers are involved. Look at the Chagos decision. I suspect the ICJ might back Argentina.

You are also protected by the state, unlike Jews.
And have you ever considered why you are hated? Let me give you a clue.
FGM
Wife beating
Paedophile gangs
Forced marriage
Terrorism
Intolerance
Antisemitism
Violence
Low IQ
Drug dealing
Fraud
Benefit scrounging

Our enemy is not just in Argentina (who have no historic claim to the Falklands, btw). It is squatting here in Britain, where it is not wanted. One day the British people will fight you, just like the brave Israeli's stood up to the Palestinian filth in Gaza.
I can't wait.

Message to everyone who clicked Reform.
Latest predictions are that if Labour held an election in December, they will win a majority. You are the reason why.
Vote Tory, or it is socialism and Islam forever.
Replying to @Phil_Osophi @chilternbear11
Doesn't matter. Even Guinness 0.0% has traces of alcohol and so is forbidden in Islam!
Replying to @chilternbear11
Why are they always ginger incels? Maybe they've decided to join a religion that allows them to rape women and have sex with little girls? Only way for them to get laid.
Also, Guinness 0.0% isn't entirely alcohol free! Should someone tell them?
Replying to @LexiBeaChorlton
That is very creepy, but to be fair to Reform (and I'm not even a Reform supporter) I am sure there are perverts who support all parties, including Restore! I know plenty of Reform guys who aren't perverts!
Replying to @benonwine
It is a toss up between Islam and socialism.
Maybe if we got rid of socialism, that would allow to get rid of Islam too???
Replying to @realcalpol @KingBobIIV
One country that has continually supported Argentina, even in 1982, is our closest neighbour Eire.
Personally I would break all diplomatic ties to Eire and close the NI border. Eire is what it has always been, our enemy. F*ck the Good Friday Agreement.
Replying to @rogerlorton @KingBobIIV
I agree 100% with you, Roger.
However, I do worry about whether we could continue to trust the UN on this matter in the future. Decades ago we offered to take the dispute to the ICJ. Argentina refused, knowing they'd lose. Now I wouldn't trust the ICJ after Chagos, to be honest.
Replying to @KingBobIIV
Israel is in the wrong here, if true. However, there is important context. The hostility and antisemitism of UK Labour has not gone un-noticed by Israel. Israel is supposed to be our ally. Yet we have recognised Palestine, sent millions in aid to Gaza, sanctioned Israeli settlers
