I don't really understand why Sean Penn feels qualified to voice his opinions on the Falklands
or the Islas Malvinas, as he diplomatically insists on referring to them. What on Earth has any of it got to do with him? I can barely bring myself to care about it and I'm arguably some sort of concerned party.

He calls us colonialists as if that's supposed to be some sort of insult. Of course we're fucking colonialists. We have a long and glorious history of marching into some turd of a country inhabited by Sambos and saying "actually, I think you'll find this is ours now, old chap". Before India and the Americas it was Ireland and before that it was France and before that it was Wales. As a people the English have a natural talent for drinking and fighting and to use that as an insult is like having a go at a Downs for being a bit dense.

After all, let us not forget that as a culturally Anglo-Norman people, the first country we invaded was England.

So Sean Penn, kindly do one. Those pointless little sheep-covered rocks are ours. They were entirely uninhabited when we parked up on them and for the Argentinians to claim ownership based on proximity is akin to Italy claiming Corsica. It's bent and a non-argument.

Edit: Bagels are alright, I guess.
