Tony and his world leader entourage would officiate at the lowering of the Union Flag and the Argentine leaders would do the same with the raising and then lowering of the Argentine flag, to be followed by the raising of the Falklands Islands flag. All done and dusted in less than one hour and they could all celebrate the occasion with a nice lamb dinner.

The only problem with that idea is would the Argentinian government comply or would they grab em and run once they'd been handed over to them?

I do agree that it should be up to the islanders themselves who they wish to be aligned with. Argentinia wanting them is nothing less than a hostile invasion force as they were never owned by Argentinia and the people there are of British origin.
