With uniquely British bad taste, some people are celebrating the death of Margaret Thatcher. There has also been praise from some unlikely quarters.

Margaret Thatcher is revealed to have expressed surprise at the Argentine junta's invasion of the Falkland Islands. Given the nature of that and other dictatorial regimes such capricious actions and behavior should be of no surprise.

The Falklands War is remembered today as the last great triumph of a once mighty Britain. The reality is somewhat different, and for once, the extreme left have got it right.

Commemoration services took place in Britain, Argentina and the Falklands Islands to mark the thirtieth anniversary of the start of the Falklands War on April 2 1982.

Stanley - Britain's military are drawing up plans for a second Falklands war following the decision by some South American countries to isolate the Falklands by banning ships from the island docking in their ports.
