There is no evidence to justify Argentina’s actions, which do not reflect the will of the Falkland Islanders - Murphy
8 February 2012
Jim Murphy MP, Labour's Shadow Defence Secretary, commenting on reports that Argentina will make a complaint to the United Nations about Britain’s “militarisation” of the Falkland Islands, said:
“It is for the UK and UK only to decide which Forces to send overseas, when and where.
“Routine deployments should not be misrepresented to serve diplomatic ends. It is wrong to distort Britain’s actions or motives, just as it is wrong to stoke tension.
“We will support the Government as long as they support the Falkland people’s right to self determination and the defence and security of the Islands.
“There is no evidence to justify Argentina’s actions, which do not reflect the will of the Falkland Islanders.”
