The fact that Argentina is willing to call out the UK for settling otherwise uninhabited islands but to ignore its own past transgressions reeks of hypocrisy. If you want to declare an end to colonialism that's fine, but it means having to give up your own colonial possessions.

Mods - shouldn't this have moved to GD by now?
