    Lol I was wondering just yesterday how long it would take this guy to bring up the Falklands after getting elected.

    Normally right-wingers in the UK would be pleased to see someone like him elected, but because of the Argentina-Falklands connection, they’re going to hate him lmao

      I think they’re going to love him.

      If I remember it correctly the whole Falklands affair worked wonders for Thatcher’s popularity.

      Mind you, these types have been gutting everything in Britain including the military, so who knows what the outcome would be in a Falklands War v2.
