ARGENTINA’S president today launches a fresh attack on Britain by declaring her nation was “forcibly stripped” of the Falkland Islands.
Cristina Kirchner has put an advert in UK and US newspapers demanding David Cameron restores power to the South American country.
The ad, set to appear in some broadsheets on the 180th anniversary of the alleged takeover, takes the form of an open letter to the PM.
She says Argentines were “expelled by the Royal Navy” on January 3, 1833, “in a blatant exercise of 19th-century colonialism”. Britain then began “a population implantation process”.
Britain rejects that version of events, saying no civilians were expelled.
Islanders face a March referendum on whether they want to stay British.
