Piracy has always driven our policy in the Falklands
Article Abstract:
The view of a report commissioned prior to the 1939 to 1945 war was that the United Kingdom had little chance of proving a legal right to the Falkland Islands if the case were examined by an independent tribunal. Britain invaded the Falklands in 1832, expelling the Argentine population, and this seizure by Britain has not been accepted by Argentina, even in the 1990s. The Chilean government of General Pinochet helped Britain in the Falklands conflict, and helped the British prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, retain power.

Why should we let Fascists have freedom of speech?
Article Abstract:
There is a widespread denial in UK society of the many attacks and murders that continue to take place against black and Asian people. In the light of recent racist attacks in London, England, it is now time to question whether extreme groups such as the Fascist British National Party should be allowed to exercise full civil liberties. Some people argue that it is vital to guarantee freedom of speech, even to those with views rejected by the vast majority of reasonable people, but it is now clear that efforts must be made to fight back against the Fascists.
