Desire The Right

With Falklands oil back in the news, remember that the Conservative Party wants a share of Falklands oil revenue to go to Argentina. Not in return for a complete and permanent renunciation of any claim to sovereignty. Not in return for anything. Just anyway.

Where are the Labour posters pointing this out? Where are the advertisements in the Sun and the Daily Mail? The party of Thatcher, who withdrew the Falkland Islands' defenders in anticipation of a transfer of sovereignty, clearly lives on. But where is the party of Callaghan, who successfully resisted the slightest pressure in any such direction?
