Worth noting that the Chinese ambassador also called it the Malvinas throughout, not the Falklands.

    Well, there's also the 1000+ British troops stationed at the military base there

    pretty sure those aren't "residents" unless you're attempting to make your own characterization of the island's population

    Do you have a source for this?

    literally your own link...

    click link

    click the hyper link on "one third of the population" working for the government

    Pay is low by UK standards - the average income is £20,100, compared to £26,500 for UK full-time workers. It also varies, depending on where people live.

    The census points out wide inequality of earnings too:

    ***almost half of all residents (49.2%) report an annual income of less than £15,000 (with almost 12% reporting income of less than £5000). ***Most retirees report incomes of less than £15,000 per annum, however fully two thirds of all persons reporting incomes of less than £15,000 per annum also report that they are employed

    so ya idk man

    I'm not going to be on the side of Argentina forcibly deporting people who live there

      The facts you cite are bad, but it's also not what you claimed. Less than 50% of a segment of the island's population is not an "overwhelming majority" of the island making "poverty wages" like you claimed.

      Also, I never argued for Argentina deporting people. I don't see what bearing the income of the population would have not deporting or deporting them.

      At this point, you've both misrepresented what the source says and put words in my mouth I never said or even implied. You've done this repeatedly.

          I saw this a lot in this thread today.

          Where is Argentina supporting deportation of the Falklaners/Malvinenses? What is your source? The Sun?

          This is 2023, not 1982.

          PD: Cuba supports Argentina. Always the same map supports Argentina https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archivo:Countries_that_support_Argentina%27s_claim_of_sovereignty_over_the_Falkland_Islands,_South_Georgia,_and_South_Sandwich_islands.png. This should ring you a bell or two.
