The Falklands didn’t get to vote in the referendum. And they’re one of the few places to actually get a brexit as voted for: they’re not covered by the withdrawal agreement.
It should be noted that, during the Brexit negotiations, the European Commission refused to include the Falklands in the TCA deal, despite the UK’s protests that the islands are an integral part of the UK family.
The EC maintained that negotiations on behalf of the overseas territories went beyond their mandate.
As the article points out, talks are ongoing to have this redressed.
U.K. should just come back into EU for fuck sakes… the powers in the world need a strong EU to balance and having U.K. outside makes little sense to me
I like squid. I like seafood generally. Pity it’s so expensive here and always cheaper, and better quality, in Spain. Perhaps we’ll start to see more of it at better prices here now.
Who gives a shit, its a tiny island thousands of miles away.

It’s doubly shitty:
