The people of Hong Kong grew up in a colony that we took and decided was ours. They lived under British rule and wanted to stay that way. Ask yourself why we didn't stick it out with the Chinese and why we didn't maintain the British rule that thy wanted ?????? Yeah - because China's bigger than us. Who stole what ? there are places all over the world we stole from the people who lived there. I am just replacing the words Hong Kong with N. Ireland and it seems that N.Ireland should stay as part of the UK. Who stole what from who in the Falklands ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their are faults in every walk of life but to go dredging things up from centuries ago seems pointless to me. It wouldn't if you had been born and brought up under a foreign rule. Think how lucky you are and try not to make decisions for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say we stole anything from the Falklands but nobody can prove the claim that it's ours. As I said, the French settled it before us. I don't even think the place is even worth fighting over. 3 minutes ago, harvey19 said: Which foreign rule ? Any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any Apparently it is not the Falkland Islands that are important but the sea area under maritime law is what is of value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
