British Sovereign Territory (Remembrance Sunday)

On 12 May 1982 the European Commission of Human Rights determined in favour of three women whose husbands weren't allowed to live in the UK. While that was happening British servicemen were fighting for the Falklands. 255 died and, we're told, a similar number have since committed suicide. They died for British sovereign territory. The Falklands memorial is at Pangbourne College which used to be the Nautical College Pangbourne and where, as a teenager, I was a Cadet. At least 300,000 foreign and Commonwealth men have taken advantage of the "human rights" decision that enables them to live in these islands.
