🇬🇧 It’s hardly news that Russia interferes in elections in the current uk, in 2014 the british PM was begging Vladimir Putin to interfere in the Scottish independence referendum, in a desperate effort to save the ‘precious union’ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺😎

Although only a slight majority want independence at the moment (with a massive majority want an Indyref), changing age demographics mean that support for YES will increase over time The british union is in its dying days, and no westminster, democracy denying, colonialists can save it 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺😎

No, but the vast majority in Scotland are Scots (and European), but not brits Just one more reason why your union is toast 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺😎

Thankfully the people of Scotland will ultimately determine our constitutional future, and not Anglo-british supremacists such as yourself 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺😎

So in your world, it’s right that westminster forever denies Scots the chance to vote for independence, regardless of the fact that they just elected an independence majority parliament, and a majority of Scots want independence ?

Next time that you look in the mirror, you’ll be seeing an Anglo-british supremacist looking back at you 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺😎

“You’ve had your democracy” doesn’t wash We either live in a democracy, or we don’t You’d think that the brits would have learned by now that denying democracy never ends well for them 🇮🇪 🇮🇳 🇵🇰 🇰🇪 🇿🇦 🇧🇩 🇱🇰 🇿🇲 🇺🇬 🇹🇿 🇿🇼 🇪🇬 🇵🇸 🇸🇩 🇮🇶 🇾🇪 🇯🇲 🇧🇧 🇹🇹 etc etc etc etc

Just for clarity, you’re all for the Falkland islanders democratic right to determine their constitutional future, but you’re against Scots having that same right? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺😎

Democracy isn’t a one day event Circumstances change, as do people’s opinions, and now a rising majority of Scots want independence, and a massive majority want to hold an indyref Democracy denial of a nation, colonial or otherwise, is indefensible, and never ends well 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺😎

To be fair, those who signed up to be british forces would regard themselves as brits

You can term it as you wish, but a uk government that refuses to accept that the people of Scotland can democratically determine their constitutional future, is playing a very dangerous game……similar to the democracy denial that they enforced in scores of countries throughout the world

The current Argentinian regime is being emboldened by the support of Trump, as they are fully signed up to his ‘Donroe Doctrine’ We can only hope that Milei is just playing politics with his claims, and that he will not get to a position where he thinks that he can forcibly take the islands

Hell mend them 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺😎

My ‘thread’ is that every conflict is an atrocity, and that no nations involved ever come out smelling of roses, no matter how many flags are waved about

True, both were murderous regimes Sadly the brutal Argentinian Junta continued to be supplied with arms by Israel during the conflict, as well as US companies indirectly through Israel uk personnel lost their lives as a result Never forget who your friends are

Spot on, its all about self determination If Argentina want the islands they should make a suitable offer If the Islanders agree then that’ll be their choice, not Argentina’s & not the uk’s If Argentina can’t afford to buy the islanders out, then the islands remain the property of the islanders

It’s for the people of the Islands to determine their future, not jingoistic blowhards in Argentina or britain If Argentina want the islands, then they should make the Islanders a decent offer Probably 2 couple of million each, + property & business buyouts would temp most islanders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺😎

🇬🇧 british Nationalists are a weird bunch They get all dew-eyed and nostalgic whenever they see an old map of the world with a third of it coloured pink 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺😎
