Alan, if the UK would put more troops on the islands now it is shown as a hostile act and at the moment DC isnt desperate enough yet in the government or polls to do such a thing.

Another thing Alan, you think we have enough boats to protect say 3 passenger ships like that?
So what if Argentina thinks it is a "hostile act"

In their eyes everything the UK does is a hostile act

We have 98 ships in the Royal Navy and we could "borrow" Aircraft Carriers and even recommision HMS Illustrious and HMS Ark Royal!
