I could claim that the referendum was rigged, and no one would listen. If I did the same thing with Ukraine and Crimea, then it'd be a different story.

The Falklands are Argentinian.

The Malvina's are Argentinian, no one should give a shit about what the inhabitants think, besides the UK has a habit of rigging elections.

We haven't taken their land, we haven't declared us their ruler, and we never had the intention of doing so in any of those countries.

In literally all of those campaigns, British forces were ostensibly under American command. Blame them if you must, but you'd still be wrong.
For what it's worth, "forty years" was a joke. The last time would probably have been enforcing the Palestinian Mandate or repressing India, which was nearer sixty, seventy years ago.

I would think that the same claim was made by a lot of other fascistoid dicktatorships throughout history. "We're just taking back what's rightfully ours", indeed.

What evidence do you have to support this assertion, beyond "it didn't go the way I wanted it to so it must be rigged"?

The Falklands are Argentinian.

Why would Britain need to rig a vote in which British citizens voted against leaving their status as a British Protectorate?

In Crimea, non-Russians were claimed to have voted to join Russia, days after being invaded by forces that initially were denied as being Russian then having been Russian.
The pre-existing claim of Britain to the Falklands has been backed by military force in 1833 when Argentine mutineers were terrorising local shipping routes, and they were deported to Buenos Aeries. It has been subsequently backed by military force in 1982 when Argentine forces invaded and subjugated the local population.
