Today we are remembering those who gave their lives 30 years ago in support of the Falkland Islanders, and quite right too. The UK government supports the Islander's right to self-determination.

However, we may also like to think of those who have been deprived of their homes by the UK government and have not been given the same rights. I refer to the people who used to inhabit Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. Double standards? See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diego_Garcia

Too many rights and not enough responsibilities these days.

If they are so keen about this self-determination stuff, how about they give us an In - Out vote on the EU?

Because we'd all make the right choice. Init?
