I never intended to insult you. It was an open, honest admission of mistake. I used the word camp, but if you'd prefer I could have used "like-minded thinkers". There was no sub-text there. It happens because trying to recall the content of your 3,500 posts over 4-odd years, in context with tens of other members, wth their thousands of posts, i'm bound to make the odd mistake from time to time.

My other point is that the Falklands is a triumph for the UN doctrine of self-determination, rather than 'spheres of influence' and other imperialist claptrap. If the people want to be British, they've got just as much right in Port Stanley as in Port Sunlight. Remember that next time you slag off the UN.

So we should be grateful to the UN that they allowed the UK to defend herself? Speaking of which were the Argentines ever castigated by the UN for their illegal act of agression against the Falklands?
