Brown seeing sense at last?
'Nothing to discuss' on Falklands 
Yet again those dago's from the southern Americas seem to think they can just keep badgering us into submission (when brute force failed the last time!).
Apparently the new tactic to get the Falklands back is to go "Oh please, oh please, oh please" to the unelected PM when he arrives for a pre-G20 meeting.
Well, actually it's not his to give away, it's the Falkland islanders, and from what I remember of the last time I was there (It's all a little hazy, as I was not allowed to put my hand in my pocket in any pub there,and we visited a few!) They are resolute that they will stay British!
Argentinians, If you want it so much, come & take it. I for one would me more than happy to assist in rubbing your noses in it one more time.
Update from TheEye: EyeSenior was involved first time around and TheEye would be proud to follow in the footsteps of a brave man and father if anything like this happened again. If standing gun-with-gun then TheEye would want St. C manning the one next door - basically making it easier to blag that I'd hit'em and he'd missed rather than the much more likely way around!

Sadly brute force probably would work next time, Argentina might have noticed that our Army is somewhat busy at the moment and we don't have much of a Navy left these days.
Personally I suspect that Brown was negotiating a bolt-hole for when his balloon goes up and Mandelson takes over as Lord Protector.
EBC has a point. TheEye is somewhat parochial at times hence the occasional Gibraltar references. If the Spanish rolled the tanks in tomorrow it would be game over because our fellow Britons wouldn't pop across and help out with a volley of musket-fire or two.
The same was true of Hong Kong and China but there we had a legal requirement to hand it back after 99 years and so we did. With the Falklands, Gib etc we could be invaded at any moment. We wouldn't be able to fight back or retake them today. Militarily or politically.
It won't do TheEye's mortgage any good if they do. However he will have a sniper rifle and won't be taken alive. That's a bloody promise.
