World Cup: Argentina’s Falklands banner

The Guardian, however, hopes that the incident will actually start the ball rolling at last:

“The reality is that these colonies will sooner or later inevitably become part of their continents. They cannot indefinitely be protected by a European patron, and Argentina’s claims are not going away. … As it is, the Falklands must continue its existence frozen as an isolated military fortress on the far side of a world from its generous protector, Britain. But sooner or later, a UK government will have the courage to begin negotiations again. As it is, the Foreign Office and defence ministry merely kick the can down the road.”
