Lets get realistic about this diplomatic dilemma.
The days of a british empire are long over.

If the Argies had colonised an uninhabited Isle of Man two centuries ago and now decided to milk the oil field in the Irish Sea, I imagine we would be a bit miffed too.

The last time this problem flared up, the Argies had invaded, and that is 'against the rules' of fair play. This time they are restricting shipping.

The Faulklanders will need to decide whether they can survive on mutton and cabbages.
