don't think Argentina had any right to seize the islands and their inhabitants by force. No right at all.

English people must understand that we're no longer in the colonial era and that no country has the right to colonise another.

We see people in England forgetting about unemployment and economic collapse - and thinking about the war instead.

In Argentina people are forgetting about the 15,000 people that have disappeared, unemployment, political prisoners, inflation. -and instead they are thinking about the war.

Both sets of people have become obsessed by the war and then they begin to support their own governments. Both governments are in the wrong and are dragging both peoples behind them.

And yet this war is in the interests neither English nOt Argentinian workers.

think bewa possible to ask the korkers in both countries to decide what ought to be done. the result would have different. Therg would have been a war
