The Falklands war (as we call it) was in 1982 and it is something that isn’t really mentioned anymore in the U.K. I arrived in Argentina yesterday for my first visit and noticed that there are posters and signs saying Las Malvinas son Argentinian in a lot of places.
Is Las Malvinas an ongoing political topic in Argentina? Is Las Malvinas something that Argentinians feel very strongly about? Should I expect to get shit for being British? It’s not like I’m walking around in a Union Jack t-shirt, so people will only know I’m British if they ask me. Should I say I’m Canadian or Australian instead?
I’m half Greek Cypriot anyway but I have a British passport, not a Cypriot one because it was my parent who moved to the U.K.
