Renounce your illegitimate and bizarre claim to Antarctica
It's up to the people that live there if they want us to go or not. We can't just abandon them. And I know nothing of this claim to Antarctica.
The British government claims a quarter of Antartica due to it being carved up a while back in the Imperial period.
It uses this claim to do basically nothing. It's like the fact that part of the UK is still at war with Russia.
When we released New Zealand and Australia, and gave the Falklands localized government, we just plain forgot about Antartica.
It's at most a historical curiosity.
It's not like we have a secret plot to invade Russia like he's asserting.

EDIT: It turns out it's an urban myth. Still.
It's also dubious if the claim is current or would be pressed.
It's worth noting that Argentina claims the same territory, and did so in a manner akin to their claim of the falklands. (I.E, in a laughable way.) 40 years after the British, during world war 2.
