The Falklands have been British since long before Argentina has even existed. So how can they "get them back" when they have never been Argentine in the entire history of Argentina?

Bednobs, the new Argie guy brought it up, the PM was responding to that.

yes, i kknow, whatn im saying is the history was discussed in detail (including by you) yesterday

This is an entirely different question anyway. How can a country claim something that belonged to another country for hundreds of years before said country even existed. What kind of flawed reasoning arrives at that conclusion?

Your error is that you are expecting logic when knowing humans you should be expecting envy & greed.  Not to mention unfair advantage.

...Do they do history in the UK ?.... In 1982 Thatcher' political future was in serious question, she was facing criticism from her own cabinet and the public in response to her savage government spending cuts, a declining manufacturing industry, and  high unemployment all pointed to an early exit for this Tory PM. It began to look like , Thatcher who was not for turning would have to do a U-turn to save her own skin and pump money back into the economy..Then along came the opportunity for The Falklands war  ..She grabbed at it. But unfortunately it cost the lives of 644 Argentines ,255 British troops and 3 Falkland Islanders But she saved her own skin and saved the Tory Party.

We've had 'at least', next up 'I always'.
