1982 And All That

Liam Fox earned himself some cheap applause over the Falklands. But where is the real allegiance of Liam Fox, with his CIA SpAd refused security clearance by his own boss’s Ministry?

And where is the real allegiance of David Cameron, who wants to give Argentina a share of Falklands oil revue, not in return for any compromise on the sovereignty issue, not in return for anything, but just for the sake of it? Where are the Labour posters about this? Where are the advertisements in the Sun and the Daily Mail?

This is of profound concern to those of us with connections to Saint Helena, where the economic condition of "an island race" whose "way of life is British" and whose "allegiance is to the Crown" has been utterly transformed by the ability to work in the Falklands oil industry.
