This petition began as a knee jerk reaction to news that Britain, were again holding talks with Argentina, where agreements are being made, which have a huge impact on our lives, with out there being any consultation with us until after the fact.
It has evolved, for me personally into being about so much more, it is about the value of value itself and about the things which money can not buy, it is about the endangered species, which is human nature! The Falkland Islands has something worth saving, we here in the Falklands are one of the few peoples on the planet who still have a degree of freedom, although it is disappearing before our very eyes! No one is fighting back, those who are awake have lost heart and hope. Whats the point, no one ever listens.......and those who are still asleep, can only see the value of money! Yet it is that very money which will result in the eventual loss of the very freedom that brave souls have fought and died for all over this planet, in countless wars against oppression.
Maximiliano Volonte - you are talking rubbish. There were no Argentines ever living in the Falklands 200 year ago. There were never Argentines living in OUR Islands. No indigenous populations. You need to check your history facts. Secondly the U.N. has never voted in favour of the Argentine claim to the Islands. It has passed a resolution calling on Britain and Argentine to discuss sovereignty but has never backed the Argentine claim.
