Our Sovereign Rights

RSS

By Robin Goodwin

The Argentines still play their game of diplomatic pressure. Totally ignoring what we want and everything we treasure. Since Captain John Davis discovered this land in 1592. The Argentines have tried to claim what belongs to me and you. Dictators that we know they are, yes they even went to war. To take this land away from us, as they’ve tried so hard before. But Britain would have none of that, they’d never leave us alone. A task force came to fight for us and the enemy soon was gone. But that’s not stopped the evil mind, of the Argentine dictator. The pressure’s on they think they’ll win, sooner rather than later. Now a British garrison is stationed here to keep the aggressors out. Now that we have all this protection, the Argies only whinge and shout. Heaven forbid the day may come, the British soldiers may go home. The Argies again may seize their chance, because they won’t leave us alone. Sometime soon oil wells will grow, around these pristine shores. If it does you can rest assured, it will open new political doors. No way will the Argentines give up their claim, They want what we have got. Even though there in the wrong, unless they win they will not stop. They’ve tried every trick that’s in the book, to win our hearts and mind. But we’re far to clever for all of that, we’re not the wooing kind. We desire the right to remain British, forever and a day. That is our right we took a vote, It’s the way we want to stay. The Argentines wouldn’t like it much, if we tried to claim their land. They’d run straight to the united nations, to get a helping hand. If the powers of the world were wise, we’re sure they’d understand. These Islands belong to no one else, but the Kelpers of this land. Leave us alone to live our lives, just the way that you live yours. Just recognise our Kelpers rights, and close the political doors. So why can’t the Argentines live in peace and total harmony. Without the need to threaten us as so often seems to be. Why can’t they accept us for who we are instead picking fights. Let us live the way we choose and keep our sovereign rights.
