99.8% of Falkland Islanders Vote to Retain British Rule

With 92% of registered Falkland Island voters coming out to vote in their just held two-day referendum on whether they want to retain British rule over these small, barren Islands that fueled a brief, and bloody war between Great Britain and neighboring Argentina over three decades ago, the results are breathtaking.

99.8% of Falkland Islanders, the majority residing in the capital city of Stanley, voted to retain British rule, while only three people on the entire Island voted against. Their point: to show the Argentine government they are British and proud of it and to hopefully gain sympathy from the international community.

This comes in the aftermath of unrelenting pressure from the Argentine government on the international community to force the British in negotiations over the "disputed islands," which the two nations fought for claim of almost three decades ago, and which the British won decisively with assistance from the Reagan White House.

What can one really say... The Falklands have been under British possession for almost two hundred years, they are historically and culturally British, they have shed the blood of Britons and Falkland Islanders in war brought upon by imperialistic Argentinians, and the citizens of the oil rich Islands, under the principle of self governance, have voted essentially unanimously to retain British rule.

It is time for the international community to stop buying into this besieged colonialist bullshit from Argentina, which is obviously just interested in the Falklands for oil and natural gas reserves, and to respect the people who dwell on the Island and who want to remain under the British flag and the old empire's two century old claim and governance.

What say you?
