Las Malvinas son Argentinas!

It's interesting to be a Brit in Buenos Aires at the moment. Thirty years on from the war and the rhetoric has been heating up. We may struggle to follow local broadsheet editorials but we do get the gist of the abundant graffiti.

Besides, if only for us, those windswept islands will always be about love...
