With this comment Cameron did a bit of historical “re-arranging the furniture”. He conveniently forgot to mention that the original inhabitants of the Falkland Islands were expelled by an act of force in 1833, and the current population descends from the people brought by the British to replace the Argentinian inhabitants. By definition, this is an act of colonialism. Last night the Argentinian vice-president, Amado Boudou, hit back and qualified Cameron’s statements as “a fallacy, a clumsy outburst ignorant of historical realities”.
I wrote about David Cameron’s hilarious statements about Argentina’s colonialism. And I did laugh in the process.
