UK prime minister rebuffs Argentina over Falklands
President Fernandez should just quit with her obsession with the Falkland islands. She's only doing this to save her political career since her popularity plummeted after her failed attempt to tax rich farmers.
The islanders want to stay with Britain and that's final. Unfortunately, Fernandez refuses to recognize their existence and pretends their were never there as this quote explains:
Quote:
The BBC's Norman Smith says the prime minister had been clear that the right of the Falkland Islanders to determine their own future would not be compromised.
He said Downing Street wants the Argentine government to respect and abide by the outcome of the upcoming referendum.
Our correspondent said there was now a "diplomatic stand off" because Argentina's view is that the referendum is illegitimate and will have no bearing on their claim because they see the islanders as occupiers, rather than residents.
