Sigh...

The polls were skewed against her in England, and the north could hate her all it wanted - the majority of people lived elsewhere. Add to that that most people in that area actually voted for her even prior to the Falklands. It took years before a majority up there would vote against her.

The UK did, in fact, not talk about giving them the Falklands, either for money or otherwise.

The Argentinian government did it for the sole purpose of trying to save their own skins. To say it backfired is an understatement.
