"I think it is pretty desperate to try and demonise Thatcher over the Falklands War. There can be no doubt that, although Britain and Argentina had been negotiating sovereignty for many years, under direction of the UN (I think)..the islands were/are under British sovereignty...and the islanders position on their self-determination was/is to remain that way.
Argentina's military invasion of British sovereign soil had to be fought.."

"Argentina's military invasion of British sovereign soil had to be fought.."
