Of course they do, silly.

[Peppino Impastato]

See what i mean,  fuckin embarrassing.   Literally lose the ability for objective thought as soon as the status of British colonies are discussed.

So it's OK for the Spanish to own the rock but not Brits?  Why?  I know you don't think the Brits should get it because they captured and had a signed over to them (which was the exact same way the United Crowns of Castile and Aragon got hold of Gibraltar) so what Spain's other claim?   

Spain actually held for less time than those nasty Brits.  

The Falklands have even less links to Argentina

Spain should really give Andalucia back to the Moors, along with Ceuta.

Neither the Falkland Islands nor Gibraltar are British Colonies. Unlucky, thanks for playing, swing and a miss, etc.

I'm still curious why Pepino thinks Scots exist and Falkland Islanders etc don't. By denying their right to self determination he's undermining Scotland's case I would have thought.

[Alan Stubbs]

The more this United Ireland chat rumbles on, the better.

I know they're making it up as they go but the British statements on the Northern Ireland/RoI and Scotland/England borders seem a smidge contradictory to me.

One extra spinning plate for May and her clown squad to factor in, pleasing.

[Peppino Impastato]

Moving a few thousand British people to an island and asking them if they want to be British is not self determination.   overseas territories ARE colonies btw ffs whoever said that. 

[Jacksgranda]

So Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands are U.S. colonies, are they?

So the Falkland Islanders should either accept Argentinian rule or f**k off back to the UK, and the Scots should either accept British rule or f**k off back to Ireland where they came from?

[Peppino Impastato]

Erm yes.  You'renot the sharpest tool Iin the box are You?   What the f**k else would you call an 'overseas territory'?  its a polite way of saying colony

Which would then make it an Argentinian Colony.

[Peppino Impastato]

Scotland is a nation (whose right to self determination is guaranteed and protected in the un charter), the Falklands is a colony.  There is no equivalence.  Grow the f**k up.   see what imean, instantly normal reasonable intelligent people become frothing morons incapable of objective thought as soon as the status of British colonies is raised purely because they're British.  It's fascinating.

I'd call it an overseas territory myself, but obviously words mean what you want them to mean, Humpty.

[Antiochas III]

But I forgot Spanish, Argentine, Danish, Swedish colonisation good... British colonisation bad

 

Oh and since when do you have to go overseas to have a colony?   

[Peppino Impastato]

Good bunch of colonists on here, anywhere else you, fancy?  What about Mauritius that's nice, we could just invade, move enough British people there to create a majority then scream self determination.   Can't see anything wrong with that, worked with n Ireland. 

[Ira Gaines]

Have to laugh at someone who doesn't even know how to use a space bar properly telling someone they're not the sharpest.

If Scotland was recognised as a nation by the United Nations it would have its own seat. This is what the UN says specifically referring to colonies:

2. All peoples have the right to self-determination; by virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.

Sorry Welsh bairnthats utter shite ,  nation states have seats not nations,  the un recognises Scotland as a nation,  and as also ruled against the UK over the Falklands.
