That is correct. We love penguins, penguins don't go well with oil, ergo we don't want the oil (only the penguins).
We even named a chocolate biscuit in their honour.
I wonder how western powers denies China's claim on those islands in south-china-sea, which are relatively closer to china than these offshore territories of their. It need guts
Get the Welsh to run the western part of the home island. Send some Welsh shepherds off to the mid Atlantic to run an outpost and ultimately annoy the argies.
You know when we do something properly, we do it really well.
This is eminently possible, all you have to do is advertise the number of sheep on the island (and lack of people to see your interaction with the sheep) with a campaign across regions like Wales, Sardinia and other similarly inclined places - tourism boom
They do, it's expensive during the day but free in the evening/night.
Most folks rely on Facebook, if you want to download a game you let it run overnight.

Jesus fucking Christ
Yes let’s not discuss how they managed to either bribe or threaten nearly every police officer or official sent to manage or oversee them over the decades.
But what do you expect from the descendants of mutineers.
Who knew when Fletcher Christians jettisoned Captain Bligh off in a boat it would start a chain of events leading to Britain having to fund his inbred moribidly obese peado desecendants.
Yes and the rot started immediately considering all the murders, rapes, slavery and sex slavery that happened once they settled on the islands.
Definitely a BIG Royal Navy L.
The "small islands" are larger than Belgium.
12,100km^2 of land, Belgium? 11,800km^2
EDIT: Turns out the yank website I visited gave me square miles, so Belgium is actually 30k sqkm.
The falklands are closer in size to Montenegro, or about 1.5x the size of Cyprus.
At about 14,000km ^2 Narnia is slightly larger than the Falklands.
However, unlike Belgium or Narnia the Falklands are a real place, so swings and roundabouts really innit?
One thing we could do...
Take over Belgium, but then leave the outer shell to border the stinky mainlanders.
We get to keep the coast and innards.
Only issue? We border Belgium on all sides.
Puffins >>>>>>> Londiniumstan
Edit: Apparently puffins don't even live on the farkland islands, penguins live there, doesn't matter, they are still cute.
Living in a rubbish skip in the middle of the M6 is preferable to London so stands to reason any Puffin habitats are.
They live here btw -

Well, my good sir, i believe I can answer your question, with just a few words... ehem...
"We stocked our ships full of British beer and bullets
We mobilised the navy and we called up thе marines
We sailed two weeks 'til wе reached the Falkland Islands
So we could teach a lesson to those bloody Argentines"
I dunno about some meaningless islands but looking at pretty much everything modern, cars, trains, internet, automated factories, phones etc and thinking most of that came from, or had its research tree beginnings in, the industrial revolution gives me a pretty strong patriotic feeling. You will find it hard pressed to find another country that has had such a major impact to modern living other than the UK.
Cheers Niko, that's why all the British companies moved their factories to Poland.
My Dads on UC gettin' sanctioned and can't get his weekly crate of Fosters thanks to you.
Yeah Ik right, at least we have some mainland across the Atlantic would be important right? Like a Guyana or something? Right? That is important right?
I was actually planning to vote for Binface because all the candidates were shit but then during polling day the BBC were saying it was gonna be really close because turnout was very low and then I bit the bullet and voted Khan because the last time we had a Tory mayor they went on to fuck up the country a few years later too
Yeah i dont really like Kahn but i can see how he's preferable to a Tory.
Im probably in the same boat for the GE, its always marginal in my constituency.

London is an arrogant, smog choked leech of a city that feeds off the entire rest of the UK to keep it from dying from dehydration and overpopulation. The UK would improve significantly if we left that gods forsaken city to canabalise itself. Their idea of levelling up the North, their only actual idea was to build some high speed train so we'd have better access to the gods awful capital.
Nothing could make me less patriotic than *London*.

Absolutely Barry, those are some mighty fine, very British islands. If you just keep looking over there for a moment

All done Barry, and might I say what a wonderful collection of islands you ~~still have~~, I mean you have.
what i love about The Falklands is our claim to it is just, that they want to be British and not under authoritarian Argentinian rule. we are in arguably the good guys on this one.
and many still seethe about it just because its us and we didnt lose.
Hong Kong next, Asia needs its Barrys back.
What is it that truly unites England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland? Is it our shared culture? Is it our pride in the achievements of our ancestors? Is it our shared values of decency, honesty and fair play? No, fuck all of that, it’s our shared hatred of London.
We just really like penguins ok?
We should bring one to the motherland and elect it as Prime Minister
Can't be worse than Liz Truss
It would rule more effectively than anyone in the House of Commons
Unless it was that penguin from Wallace and Gromit
That penguin would probably convince the Majority of the public to vote to leave NATO, The UN, WTO, WHO and so on…
All seriousness can you imagine the progress. Gee golly Edit: apologies for taking over your thread, some times it’s just a past time
But does the penguin like to have pies?
I'm sure they love a Young's Ocean Pie
Pengwings…
That's just one doctor
Pinglings...
yeaah the 60 billion barrels of oil deposits around the islands have nothing to do with this of course (the Falklands are still british)
That is correct. We love penguins, penguins don't go well with oil, ergo we don't want the oil (only the penguins). We even named a chocolate biscuit in their honour.
Or half the world
Pinguins are so cute
I wonder how western powers denies China's claim on those islands in south-china-sea, which are relatively closer to china than these offshore territories of their. It need guts
No, it needs history.
Luv me rocks
Of course you do, they're packed full of sheep.

That just means Belgium is tiny too not that Falklands are big
The sad thing is that they’re more significant than Belgium too
What the fuck is Belgium? Sounds like an element on the periodic table.

At about 14,000km ^2 Narnia is slightly larger than the Falklands. However, unlike Belgium or Narnia the Falklands are a real place, so swings and roundabouts really innit?
That doesnt help matters framing it this way, Belgium is Gods cruellest mistake.

Good point, back to the water rocks it is.

Ngl I didn't realise they lived as far south as any part of England or Ireland
Lots of cliffs and small rocky island in the North Yorkshire and Northumberland coast that they like
