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.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

I wonder who else has Antarctic claims.

Oh. Argentina. Oh, it's the same areas as the British claims. Wow. What a coincidence.

There's a big unclaimed bit there.....I wonder what minerals and other goodies might be buried under the miles of ice there? Britain should claim it, just in case.

I still stand by my belief that the United States was obligated to aid Argentina in the Falklands War under the Monroe Doctrine. It's disappointing that to this day Argentina still does not control the falklands.

So what's the harm in putting some good Britons there to spruce the place up a tad?

The Monroe Doctrine was designed to defend democracy in the Americas against Monarchistic europeans.
It would be a betrayal of the doctrine to back a Fascistic governments invasion of a Democracy.

Yeah sure you do, everyone believes you, you are clearly an expert on all things British and have seen the unspeakable brutality that hides behind our tea and Yorkshire pudding's truly the British are no better than rabid imperialistic beasts who should be constantly taken down a peg by the brave Empire toppelers the Indians.

All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

Yeah, you went to London for a week and some chav called you a Paki, is that right? That qualifies you to be an expert on Britain as much as watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail qualifies you to be an expert in bird migrations.

And anyway, nobody's going to give us the Falklands, since they're already bloody British. Should India be given Mumbai?

No, not the penguins.

Trying to establish whether or not the people born in a previously entirely uninhabited land, have any claim to the land they live on.
